Operation
Update
Update VidArch and yt-dlp without losing archives.
Docker Image
Back up the instance first, then:
docker compose pull
docker compose up -dThen check the logs, /api/health, the library, and an authorized test download.
To control changes, you can pin an image tag instead of latest, and then change it deliberately after reading the release notes.
From Sources
Update the chosen branch, run npm ci at the root and in client/, then rebuild the application.
yt-dlp
The System & yt-dlp page displays the version and allows for a manual update. The automatic weekly update can be disabled. After an update, test a search and a download before considering the operation complete.
