Update Docker Image

Hey there,

I want to know how to update a docker source image for my project.

For example, how can I update my existing and running image if there's a new update for the docker image?

If you're here, Brody, you know the context of my question. Just think about the steps to update their source image when there's a new image.

Since you are using the latest tag, 3-dot menu on the latest deployment -> Redeploy.

If there's a new image it will be pulled and run, if there isn't, then the same image is deployed.


Perfect! That's what I'm thinking just confirming if that's how it works.

is there a way to automate this?


I think by calling redeploy from the Railway API.

The mutation you would want for that would be serviceInstanceRedeploy

I assume redeploying wipes the database and starts from a clean slate? Is there a way to update the app I am using when there is a new docker image without losing my data?
