Upgrade Instructions (General)¶

For any release:

# Docker upgrade
docker stop kakitu-node
docker rm kakitu-node
docker pull kakitucurrency/kakitu-node:latest
docker run --restart=unless-stopped \
  --name kakitu-node \
  -p 7075:7075 \

The ledger data is preserved in the mounted volume — no re-sync required on upgrade.
