Updating Paperless
##################
Docker Route
============
If a new release of paperless-ng is available, upgrading depends on how you

Ansible Route
=============
Most of the update process is automated when using the ansible role.
1. Backup your defined role variables file outside the paperless source-tree:
.. code:: shell-session
$ cp ansible/vars.yml ~/vars.yml.old
2. Pull the release tag you want to update to:
.. code:: shell-session
$ git fetch --all
$ git checkout ng-0.9.14
3. Update the role variable definitions ``ansible/vars.yml`` (where appropriate).
4. Run the ansible playbook you created created during :ref:`installation <setup-ansible>` again:
.. note::
When ansible detects that an update run is in progress, it backs up the entire ``paperlessng_directory`` to ``paperlessng_directory-TIMESTAMP``.
Updates can be rolled back by simply moving the timestamped folder back to the original location.
If the update succeeds and you want to continue using the new release, please don't forget to delete the backup folder.
.. code:: shell-session
$ ansible-playbook playbook.yml
