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- the included xUML service repository to a newer version of the service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
- Go to the folder where you have stored your docker-compose.yml file.
Exchange the repository file with a newer one.
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
You can use this step to change other configuration values. Edit the docker-compose.yml if you want to change anything.
Step 3: Restart the Container
Drop the old container:
docker-compose down
Dropping the service container also means deleting all local service data (as already mentioned in Installing a Single xUML Service Using Docker).
Start the container by running the following command:
docker-compose up
To run the container in the background, use:
docker-compose up -d
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
- Go to the folder where you have stored your docker-compose.yml file.
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'
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
Drop the old container:
docker-compose down
Dropping the service container also means deleting all local service data (as already mentioned in Installing a Single xUML Service Using Docker).
Start the container by running the following command:
docker-compose up
To run the container in the background, use:
docker-compose up -d
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>
