what was the full command you used to upgrade rancher using docker? p.s. Docker installs are only for non-production environments

Righty, this Rancher server instance serves up Dev and Pre clusters and services - nothing in our Prod environments. I did the standard procedure: Stopped the container, made the data backup, pulled in the new Rancher image, started the new Rancher version using the data volume, let it run to do the update. Once done and verified, deleted the old Rancher version container. I’ll get the exact command I ran when I’m back in the office tomorrow.

did you follow these docs? if so, I don’t see the

--volumes-from rancher-data

in your command

Yeah; that’s if you have the volume data only inside the container. Since we mount that data in from the host VM, and start it up using that same path, the —volumes-from is not needed here.

I’m not sure about the answer to that one. Are you using vsphere storage provider in the local cluster?

I am not.
