Updating DataGerry

DataGerry offers two deployment models - Cloud (SaaS) and On-Premise — each with its own approach to software updates. This guide explains how updates are handled in both environments to help you keep your system up-to-date and running smoothly.



Cloud Updates

In the Cloud (SaaS) version of DataGerry, all updates are handled automatically by the service provider.

Key points:

  • No manual action is required from the user

  • Updates are applied seamlessly in the background

  • Users always have access to the latest features, improvements, and security patches

  • Minimal or no downtime during the update process

This makes the Cloud version ideal for teams that want to avoid the overhead of maintaining infrastructure or manually managing software upgrades.



On Premise Updates

For self-hosted (on-premise) installations, updating DataGerry requires a manual process but is designed to be straightforward and safe.


Update process:

  1. Download and install the new DataGerry release from the official package source: BuildKite or from Docker: Docker

  2. Restart the DataGerry service or application

During startup, DataGerry will:

  • Automatically detect the new version

  • Run any required database or internal migrations

  • Complete the update process before starting the application

Important notes:

  • The update duration typically takes a few seconds to a few minutes depending on your system and data volume

  • Always back up your database and configuration files before starting an update

  • Review the changelog or release notes for any version-specific instructions

  • The installation commands must be executed by a user with sudo rights. Ensure you have administrative privileges to properly perform the installation.


By following this process, your on-premise deployment remains secure, current, and compatible with the latest features.
