**It is critically important to keep your Self-hosted Bitwarden instance up to date.**
|
|
|
|
Updates may include fixes that are important for the security of your Bitwarden instance. Additionally, newer versions of client applications may not support older versions of your self-hosted instance.
|
|
|
|
{% callout warning %}
|
|
We highly recommend backing up your data before updating your self-hosted instance. For more information, see [Backup your Hosted Data]({% link _articles/hosting/backup-on-premise.md %}).
|
|
{% endcallout %}
|
|
|
|
Update your Bitwarden instance using the same Bash (Linux or macOS) or Powershell (Windows) script (`bitwarden.sh`) used to install Bitwarden. Run the following sequence of commands:
|
|
|
|
{% icon fa-linux %} {% icon fa-apple %} Bash
|
|
|
|
./bitwarden.sh updateself
|
|
./bitwarden.sh update
|
|
|
|
{% icon fa-windows %} PowerShell
|
|
|
|
.\bitwarden.ps1 -updateself
|
|
.\bitwarden.ps1 -update
|
|
|
|
Your Bitwarden installation should now be fully up to date and running.
|
|
|
|
{% callout success %}
|
|
We recommend creating a cronjob or scheduled task to run these update commands weekly, or even nightly. This will automatically keep your instance up to date.
