Upgrading Superset

Docker Compose

First, make sure to shut down the running containers in Docker Compose:

bash

docker compose down

Next, update the folder that mirrors the superset repo through git:

bash

git pull origin master

Then, restart the containers and any changed Docker images will be automatically pulled down:

bash

docker compose up

Updating Superset Manually

To upgrade superset in a native installation, run the following commands:

bash

pip install apache_superset --upgrade

Upgrading the Metadata Database

Migrate the metadata database by running:

bash

superset db upgrade
superset init

While upgrading superset should not delete your charts and dashboards, we recommend following best practices and to backup your metadata database before upgrading. Before upgrading production, we recommend upgrading in a staging environment and upgrading production finally during off-peak usage.
