nself update
nself update — ɳSelf documentation.
Update the ɳSelf CLI binary and admin UI.
Synopsis
nself update [flags]Description
nself update checks for new releases of the ɳSelf CLI on GitHub (nself) and installs the latest version. It replaces the current binary in-place and optionally restarts running services after the update.
By default, nself update updates both the CLI binary and the admin Docker image. Use --cli or --admin to update only one component. Use --check to see if an update is available without installing anything.
If you are running an active ɳSelf project and update the CLI, you may want to run nself build --force && nself restart afterward to regenerate docker-compose.yml with any new defaults from the updated version.
update images fetches the latest sha256 digests for all pinned Docker images and stores them in the project directory so the next nself build pins images to exact digests for reproducible deployments.
