Hello !Friendica Support
can I switch the docker branch now?

I have right now:
app:
    image: friendica:2025.07-rc-fpm


and
cron:
    image: friendica:2025.07-rc-fpm



Can I switch this to:
app:
    image: friendica:stable-fpm


and
cron:
    image: friendica:stable-fpm


And just do a docker pull?

#Friendica #Docker
Any tip how to check the stable version is actually newer.than the 07.2024 RC?
Alright, it worked to switch the branch to stable for those two images (or whatever this is called in Docker) and there was no outstanding DB update before or after I switched the branch.

Anyone else did update the #Docker based setup of #Friendica to the 2026 version yet?
Hi @utzer

I grqbbed th east stable vcersion of docker for friendica. I am not yet ready to venture to uncarted territory:)

Looking for other more experienced who have upgraded fro 2024.12

Thanks
@Joseph Hogan maybe slowly go from release to release?
@utzer That is my idea. But, where is the list of dockers for friendica? I was only able to find a stable 2024.12. I am not adventurous enough to use unstable versions:) I know that 2026.x is out but the docker is not yet ready, last I read.

Thanks
@Joseph Hogan the stable branch now is 01.2026.

Check docker hub which tags you can find there. Maybe there was no release in the last years.
@utzer

I looked o my server, and I am using:
2024.12-apache

When I look on the site: https://hub.docker.com/_/friendica
I see a variety of the same version: 20260-01

2026.01-apache, apache, stable-apache, 2026.01, latest, stable
2026.01-fpm, fpm, stable-fpm
2026.01-fpm-alpine, fpm-alpine, stable-fpm-alpine

Which one does one use?

Advice any one?

@Joseph Hogan I think you can use any version with apache, I checked on friendi.ca and there was no release since "2024.12-apache", so the next version would be "2026.01-apache" or if you don't want to edit your compose file anymore I think you can also use "stable-apache". The later would cause an update whenever a new stable version is available and the update would be triggered whenever you cause docker to update (I think docker compose pull would do that).

I am a docker novice, so better not trust me on all this, but this is how far I understand it.
@utzer Me too. I have been playing around with it, and Friendica is the most recent. Just simple things until now. Friendica is a bit more complex.

Maybe some one else will comment too, to make sure we are on the right track.

Thanks

Joseph
Thanks to watchtower, my instance was updated to 2026.01 sometime in the past. Without your post, I would not have noticed it ;-)
