How do you update to a newer version during the current setup? Do a git clone and just run the installer again?

Hi @mprajescu, we'll update the documentation to include update steps - please move this to the discussions - https://github.com/mediacms-io/mediacms/discussions- and let's continue there

Any progress here?

There are some notes on https://github.com/mediacms-io/mediacms/blob/main/docs/admins_docs.md#2-server-installation and also https://github.com/mediacms-io/mediacms/blob/main/docs/admins_docs.md#3-docker-installation

For single server setup through github, just need to get the latest code (eg git pull), then apply migrations (python manage.py migrate) and then restart the services (systemctl restart mediacms celery_short celery_long)
For docker installation, again get the code (eg git pull) , then get new containers (docker pull mediacms/mediacms) and then restart docker-compse (docker-compose down && docker-compose up)

Thinking about it, this doesn't cover the case when MediaCMS is installed through a release :(
