docker pull ckan/ckan-dev:2.10.3
# Or alternatively, if using the minor version:
# docker pull ckan/ckan-base:2.10
# docker pull ckan/ckan-dev:2.10
docker compose build ckan
docker compose stop ckan
docker compose rm -f ckan
docker compose up -dPatch release upgrades are very straightforward and do not contain any backward incompatible changes or involve any change in the database or Solr schema.
