Upgrading Server v2.x to v3.x

How to upgrade from version 2.x to 3.x

This article will cover how to upgrade your current Snap Camera Server to the latest v3 release.

Getting started

• Upgrading works by downloading the Latest v3.x Release
• Copy your current ssl/ folder over to the new Server directory and create a new .env file by copying example.env
• Removing/Uninstalling your current version inside Docker
• Start the new Server with Docker

Copy files

• Just copy the ssl/ folder from your old Server directory to the new Server directory.
• If you imported any lenses you will also need to copy your import/ folder over to your new server directory.
• Create a new .env configuration file like the first time by making a copy of the template example.env file.

Docker Desktop

Start your local Docker Dekstop application and complete these 3 steps one after the other.

1. Remove the Container
2. Remove the Image
3. Remove the Volume

Remove the Container

• Click on Containers and remove the snap-camera-server container by clicking the trash bin.

Remove the Image

• Click on Images and remove the snap-camera-server image by clicking the trash bin.

Remove the Volume

• Click on Volumes and remove the node-modules volume by clicking the trash bin.

Start the new Server

We need to tell Docker Desktop about our new Server.

Run this command with a Windows Powershell or Terminal inside your new server directory:

docker compose up --build
