--- title: 'Upgrading' description: 'Upgrading NocoDB : Docker, Node and Homebrew!' keywords: ['NocoDB upgrade', 'upgrade NocoDB', 'upgrade nocodb'] --- By default, if `NC_DB` is not specified upon [installation](/getting-started/installation), then SQLite will be used to store metadata. We suggest users to separate the metadata and user data in different databases as pictured in our [architecture](/engineering/architecture). ## Docker ### Find, Stop & Delete NocoDB Docker Container ```bash # find NocoDB container ID docker ps # stop NocoDB container docker stop # delete NocoDB container docker rm ``` Note: Deleting your docker container without setting `NC_DB` or mounting to a persistent volume for a default SQLite database will result in losing your data. See examples below. ### Find & Remove NocoDB Docker Image ```bash # find NocoDB image docker images # delete NocoDB image docker rmi ``` ### Pull the latest NocoDB image with same environment variables ```bash docker run -d -p 8080:8080 \ -e NC_DB="" \ -e NC_AUTH_JWT_SECRET="" \ nocodb/nocodb:latest ``` Updating nocodb docker container is similar to updating [any other docker containers](https://www.whitesourcesoftware.com/free-developer-tools/blog/update-docker-images/). ### Example: Docker Upgrade ![Screen Shot 2021-09-16 at 09 23 07](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/5435402/133578984-53c6b96b-3e8b-4a96-b6c2-36f3c09ffdde.png) ## Node Updating docker container is similar to updating a npm package. From your root folder #### Uninstall NocoDB package ```bash npm uninstall nocodb ``` #### Install NocoDB package ```bash npm install --save nocodb ``` ## Homebrew Run following commands to upgrade Homebrew Nocodb version. ```bash # Update the local homebrew formulas brew update # Upgrade nocodb package brew upgrade nocodb ```
