Update AI Smart Redact

Update AI Smart Redact by pulling new Docker images and restarting the services. Database migrations are applied automatically on startup.

Update to a new version​

  1. Pull the latest Docker images:

    docker compose pull

  2. Recreate the containers with the new images:

    docker compose up -d

  3. Verify the services are running:

    docker compose ps

  4. Check the health endpoints to confirm all services are healthy:

    curl http://localhost:9982/healthz/ready   # Manager
    curl http://localhost:9983/healthz/ready   # Orchestrator

    The Worker port isn’t exposed to the host. To check Worker health, refer to Health check endpoints.

Database migrations​

Database migrations are applied automatically when each service starts. Both the Manager and Orchestrator manage their own database schemas independently.

No manual migration steps are required during a version upgrade.

info

The services support both SQLite and PostgreSQL databases. Migrations are applied to whichever database backend is configured in appsettings.json.

Rollback​

To roll back to a previous version:

  1. Stop the running services: 
    docker compose down
  2. Update docker-compose.yml to reference the previous image tags.
  3. Start the services with the previous images: 
    docker compose up -d
warning

Rolling back after a database schema migration may cause errors if the older version doesn’t support the new schema. Back up your PostgreSQL databases before upgrading to a new version.

Back up PostgreSQL databases​

# Manager database
docker exec smart-redact-manager-db \
  pg_dump -U smartredact smartredact > manager-backup.sql

# Orchestrator database
docker exec smart-redact-orchestrator-db \
  pg_dump -U smartredact smartredact > orchestrator-backup.sql

Restore from backup​

# Manager database
docker exec -i smart-redact-manager-db \
  psql -U smartredact smartredact < manager-backup.sql

# Orchestrator database
docker exec -i smart-redact-orchestrator-db \
  psql -U smartredact smartredact < orchestrator-backup.sql
