Upgrade your Debian Funkwhale installation

If you installed Funkwhale following the Debian guide, follow these steps to upgrade.

:::{dropdown} Upgrading to a new version of Python :icon: alert :color: warning

If you upgrade your Python version, you need to update your virtualenv. Python is updated with each new version of Debian.

To upgrade your virtualenv:

Change to your api directory.
```
cd /srv/funkwhale/api
```
Rerun poetry install to reinstall your dependencies in a new virtualenv.
```
poetry install
```

:::

Download the updated files

SSH into your server.
Log in as your funkwhale user.
```
su funkwhale
```
Navigate to your Funkwhale directory.
```
cd /srv/funkwhale
```
Stop the Funkwhale services.
```
sudo systemctl stop funkwhale.target
```
Export the Funkwhale version you want to update to. You'll use this in the rest of the commands in this guide.
```
export FUNKWHALE_VERSION={sub-ref}`version`
```

Download the API files for your chosen Funkwhale version.

curl -L -o "api-$FUNKWHALE_VERSION.zip" "https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/funkwhale/-/jobs/artifacts/$FUNKWHALE_VERSION/download?job=build_api"

Extract the downloaded archive to a new directory.
```
unzip "api-$FUNKWHALE_VERSION.zip" -o api_new
```
Remove the old api directory and move the extracted directory to the api directory.
```
rm -rf api/ && mv api_new api
```
Remove the downloaded archive file.
```
rm api-$FUNKWHALE_VERSION.zip
```

Once you have downloaded the new files, you can update your Funkwhale instance. To do this:

Install or upgrade all OS dependencies using the dependencies script.
```
sudo api/install_os_dependencies.sh install
```
Enter the api directory to run the following commands.
```
cd api
```
Install all Python dependencies using poetry.
```
poetry install
```

Collect the new static files to serve.

poetry run python manage.py collectstatic --no-input

That's it! You've updated your Funkwhale pod. You should now see the new version running in your web browser.
