Updating Soapbox

You should always check the release notes/changelog in case there are deprecations, special update changes, etc.

Besides that, it's relatively pretty easy to update Soapbox. There's two ways to go about it: with the command line or with an unofficial script.

Updating with the command line

To update Soapbox via the command line, do the following:

# Download the build.
curl -O https://dl.soapbox.pub/main/soapbox.zip

# Unzip the new build to Pleroma's instance directory.
busybox unzip soapbox.zip -o -d /opt/pleroma/instance/static

After updating Soapbox

The changes take effect immediately, just refresh your browser tab. It's not necessary to restart the Pleroma service.
