Update Standard n8n instance
1. Free space on the server
ONLY RUN THIS WHEN THE CONTAINERS ARE UP AND RUNNING otherwise you might delete important things.
docker system prune -a
You might want to look into adding more HD space for longer term viability.
2. Make your backup
cd /home/ubuntu/
sudo tar -czf n8n-backup-<date>.tgz n8n/
You might have to cleanup old backups if space is an issue
3. Validate the contents of your backup
tar -ztvf n8n-backup-<date>.tgz
4. Make note of what version you are on incase you need to revert/restore
5. Update images
cd /home/ubuntu/n8n
docker-compose pull
6. Remove/Restart containers
cd /home/ubuntu/n8n
docker-compose rm -fs
docker-compose up -d
