If you have an xUML service running in a dedicated Docker container, you may want to update

• the included xUML service repository to a newer version of the service
• the xUML Runtime with the latest xUML Service Docker image

Updating the Repository

Step 1: Configure the Update Settings

1. Go to the folder where you have stored your docker-compose.yml file.

2. Exchange the repository file with a newer one.

   Info
   Check, whether this folder still contains the Dockerfile that comes with the xUML Service Docker image a valid xUML license

Step 2: Build the new Service Image

Build the dedicated xUML service image with

docker-compose build

Step 3: Restart the Container

1. Drop the old container:

   Code Block
   docker-compose down

   Note
   Dropping the service container also means deleting all local service data (as already mentioned in xUML Service).

Updating the xUML Runtime

Step 1: Extract the Software

Load the xUML Service Docker image with

docker image load -i xuml-<version>.tar

Step 2: Configure the Installation Settings

1. Go to the folder where you have stored your docker-compose.yml file.

2. Change the xUML Runtime image version to match the version of the image you want to install.

   Line	Setting	Description	Example
   8	XUML_IMAGE	Specify the name of the Docker image you have loaded in step 1.	'xuml:2020.7'

   Tip
   You can use this step to change other configuration values or update the service repository (see Updating the Repository).

Step 3: Build the Service Image

Build the dedicated xUML service image with

docker-compose build 

Step 4: Restart the Container

1. Drop the old container:

   Code Block
   docker-compose down

   Note
   Dropping the service container also means deleting all local service data (as already mentioned in xUML Service).

Perform Some Clean-up

Old images will stay loaded to your Docker installation. From time to time you should clean-up unused and old Docker images using:

docker image rm xuml:<old version>
