# Upgrading the Matrix services
|
|
|
|
This playbook not only installs the various Matrix services for you, but can also upgrade them as new versions are made available.
|
|
|
|
While this playbook helps you to set up Matrix services and maintain them, it will **not** automatically run the maintenance task for you. You will need to update the playbook and re-run it **manually**.
|
|
|
|
The upstream projects, which this playbook makes use of, occasionally if not often suffer from security vulnerabilities (for example, see [here](https://github.com/element-hq/element-web/security) for known ones on Element Web).
|
|
|
|
Since it is unsafe to keep outdated services running on the server connected to the internet, please consider to update the playbook and re-run it periodically, in order to keep the services up-to-date.
|
|
|
|
The developers of this playbook strive to maintain the playbook updated, so that you can re-run the playbook to address such vulnerabilities. It is **your responsibility** to keep your server and the services on it up-to-date.
|
|
|
|
If you want to be notified when new versions of Synapse are released, you should join the Synapse Homeowners room: [#homeowners:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#homeowners:matrix.org).

## Steps to upgrade the Matrix services
|
|
|
|
### Check the changelog
|
|
|
|
Before updating the playbook and the Ansible roles in the playbook, take a look at [the changelog](../CHANGELOG.md) to see if there have been any backward-incompatible changes that you need to take care of.
|
|
|
|
### Update the playbook and the Ansible roles
|
|
|
|
If it looks good to you, go to the `matrix-docker-ansible-deploy` directory, update your playbook directory and all upstream Ansible roles (defined in the `requirements.yml` file) by running:
|
|
|
|
- either: `just update`
|
|
- or: a combination of `git pull` and `just roles` (or `make roles` if you have `make` program on your computer instead of `just`)
|
|
|
|
If you don't have either `just` tool or `make` program, you can run the `ansible-galaxy` tool directly: `rm -rf roles/galaxy; ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml -p roles/galaxy/ --force`
|
|
|
|
**Note**: for details about `just` commands, take a look at: [Running `just` commands](just.md).
|
|
|
|
### Re-run the playbook setup
|
|
|
|
After updating the Ansible roles, then re-run the [playbook setup](installing.md#maintaining-your-setup-in-the-future) and restart all services:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=install-all,start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you remove components from `vars.yml`, or if we switch some component from being installed by default to not being installed by default anymore, you'd need to run the setup command with `--tags=setup-all` instead of `--tags=install-all`. See [this page on the playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) for more information.
|
|
|
|
#### Run `just` to execute shortcut command
|
|
|
|
If you want to invoke the `ansible-playbook` command with less typing, you can run `just` to execute the shortcut command: `just install-all` (or `just setup-all`). Note that it restarts all services automatically.
|
|
|
|
## PostgreSQL major version upgrade
|
|
|
|
Major version upgrades to the internal PostgreSQL database are not done automatically. Upgrades must be performed manually.
|
|
|
|
For details about upgrading it, refer to the [upgrading PostgreSQL guide](maintenance-postgres.md#upgrading-postgresql).
