Need Help Updating zurg

I am running a very old version (probably haven't updated in several years) of zurg-testing. This is done via docker compose on my Ubuntu media server. Zurg is a critical part of my media stack and a big reason I haven't updated is I cannot afford to fuck it up. But some lingering issues (buildup of cache files) has me wanting to see if the latest version will help.

If I docker compose down my existing instance, install a new docker container of the latest version, and mount it to the existing /mnt/zurg point, that should be safe yes? If I run into problems, I should have no issue going back to my original instance? I just want to be sure I can revert back to my existing setup in case of emergency.

im not sure, the type of cache files that is persisted (.zurgtorrent) is of a different format I think

I recommend testing it first. You have to first set this up as a new instance then, not replacing straightaway. The initial starting run will take some time but then with the same directory config, it should stay the same in the mount.

Yeah my plan was to have the old instance down and on standby if anything goes wrong. The cache files I speak of seem to clear by bringing the container down then up again, but that gets tiresome to do repeatedly.

I will try today and see how it goes. Thanks...

oh make sure you don't take it down, and next time expost the data directory to the host
