Updates will cause `cloudflared` to restart which will impact traffic currently being served. You can perform zero-downtime upgrades by using Cloudflare's [Load Balancer product](/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-networks/downloads/update-cloudflared/#update-with-cloudflare-load-balancer) or by using [multiple `cloudflared` instances](/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-networks/downloads/update-cloudflared/#update-with-multiple-cloudflared-instances).

For locally-managed tunnels, the instructions below only apply if the tunnel runs as a service. https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-networks/do-more-with-tunnels/local-management/as-a-service/

I don't think we need to mention locally or remotely managed tunnels here. This is simply an instruction on how to update cloudflared, which is analogous for both.

To ensure the command runs with the latest cloudflared it needs to use the flag --pull always, so:
docker run --pull always cloudflare/cloudflared:latest tunnel --no-autoupdate run --token <token>
Otherwise, it might use an old image that is already available locally that is not the latest.

```

This creates a new container from the latest `cloudflared` image. You can now delete the old container.
