Updating Mixpost Enterprise

Update involves improvements and bug fixes to enhance security and functionality, occurring regularly with little impact on user interaction.

It's important to keep your Mixpost Enterprise version up to date. This ensures you get the latest features and fixes. Follow these guidelines based on your installation method.

Backup your database first

Always back up your database before starting the update. If something goes wrong, you will need it to restore your previous state.

info

The Mixpost Enterprise package builds on the core Mixpost Pro package. When Mixpost Pro is updated, Enterprise users can update too, ensuring they benefit from all new enhancements and fixes seamlessly.

Update Using Docker

Updating Mixpost using Docker is straightforward. Ensure that you preserve the mounted volume during the process. Simply follow these steps:

Navigate to your folder where you have the docker-compose.yml the file then run:

# Pull the latest version
docker compose pull 

# Stop and remove the old container 
docker compose down

# Start a new container
docker compose up -d

Any database changes included in the update are applied automatically when the new container starts.

This method applies if you have installed Mixpost Enterprise manually or within an existing Laravel application.

1. Update the Mixpost Enterprise Package

composer update inovector/mixpost-enterprise -W

This command ensures both the core package, Mixpost Pro, and its extension, Mixpost Enterprise, are updated to their latest versions.

2. Upgrade the database

Apply any database changes included in the update:

php artisan mixpost:upgrade-database
php artisan mixpost-enterprise:upgrade-database
