How to update Element Web client

Open update page ↗

Read the release notes first — self-hosted projects break config and schemas between versions more often than appliances do.
Docker: pull the new image tag and recreate the container (`docker compose pull && docker compose up -d`).
Package or bare metal: update through your distribution's package manager, or replace the binary from the releases page.
Back up the config and database directory first. For most projects a downgrade is not supported once the schema has migrated.

Always install releases from the project itself. Firmwarely links out; it never hosts downloads.

How do I update Element Web client?

See the step-by-step above. Pull the new image or package and restart the service. Read the release notes and back up the data directory first; most projects can't downgrade once the database has migrated.

How does Firmwarely know when there's a new version?

Is this an official Element page?

No. Firmwarely is independent. Project and product names belong to their owners; always install releases from the project's own source.
