✨ Updating the bot

Before updating the bot, always take a backup of your db/data.sqlite file.

⚠ Note on updating to v3.0.0: If you're currently using a very old version of the bot, from before February 2018, you'll first need to update to v2.30.1 and run the bot once before updating to v3.0.0.

To update the bot, follow these steps:

  1. Shut down the bot
  2. Take a backup of your db/data.sqlite file
    • If you're using a different supported database, take database backups from there
  3. Download the latest version of the bot from https://github.com/Dragory/modmailbot/releases/latest
  4. Extract the new version's files over the old files
  5. Read the CHANGELOG to see if there are any config changes you have to make
    • Especially note changes to supported Node.js versions!
  6. Start the bot:
    • If you're using start.bat to run the bot, just run it again
    • If you're running the bot via command line, first run npm ci and then start the bot again

👉 If you run into any issues, join the support server for help!
