How do I update my Outline server software?

Outline servers automatically update with the latest security improvements so that you're always running the latest Outline technology. The automated update process is enabled by Watchtower, an open-source library that regularly checks and updates the docker image containing the Outline software.

Additionally, when you install Outline using the Outline Manager, we'll set up a cron job to automatically upgrade the software on the server using

(Ubuntu) and reboot it when necessary. Note that this doesn't occur in Advanced mode in order to preserve the existing configuration, under the assumption that the host is being used for other purposes in addition to running Outline.
