How to upgrade the stack?

[fanuelsen]

Hi, i was wondring how you should upgrade the elasticsearch container? It writes persistence data to the data volume, and this includes the ealsticsearch binaries. So even if you pull a newer image its still starting the old version.

Hi,
If you pull the new image, Elasticsearch will do the upgrade automatically for you.

I tried that but it did not upgrade the binaries. I will investigate more and report back.

I believe that data volumes (/usr/share/elasticsearch/data) doesn't contains binaries, only data.
I've used this method many times (lately to upgrade from v7.17 to v8.0) without issues.
