Updating

Update Script (Recommended)

The install script allows you to update Plank automatically:

bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/logscore/plank/master/scripts/deploy.sh)

It will prompt you if you want to update Plank, defaulting to yes. Hit enter and it will update Plank to the most recent changes on master.

Docker

Pull the latest changes and rebuild:

cd plank
git pull
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml --env-file .env up -d --build

Database migrations run automatically on container startup.

Bare Metal

Pull the latest code, rebuild, and run migrations:

cd plank
git pull
npm install
npm run build
npx drizzle-kit migrate

Then restart the server. If you’re using a systemd service:

sudo systemctl restart plank

Otherwise, stop the existing process and run node build again.
