How do I update n8n?

Surely there is a one button click to update to the latest version of n8n?

I can’t see it and the instructions look pretty complicated:

1. Manual update via SSH (most common)

1. SSH into your Droplet

   bash CopyEdit

   ssh root@YOUR_DROPLET_IP

2. Pull the latest n8n image

   bash CopyEdit

   docker pull n8nio/n8n:latest

3. Stop & remove your existing n8n container First, find its name or ID:

   bash CopyEdit

   docker ps

   Then stop and remove it (replace <CONTAINER>):

   bash CopyEdit

   docker stop <CONTAINER> docker rm <CONTAINER>

4. Recreate the container Re-run the same docker run (or docker-compose up -d) command you originally used, but pointing at n8nio/n8n:latest. Example:

   bash CopyEdit

   docker run -d \ --name n8n \ -p 5678:5678 \ -v ~/.n8n:/home/node/.n8n \ n8nio/n8n:latest

5. Verify Browse to your n8n URL and check the “n8n version” in the footer. It should now match the latest release on GitHub.

   Thanks
