Updating the RMM (Docker)¶

Updating to the latest RMM version¶

Question

You have a backup, right? RIGHT?!

Tactical RMM updates the docker images on every release and should be available within a few minutes.

SSH into your server as a user that is in the docker group and run the below commands:

cd [dir/with/compose/file]
mv docker-compose.yml docker-compose.yml.old
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/amidaware/tacticalrmm/master/docker/docker-compose.yml
docker compose pull
docker compose down
docker compose up -d --remove-orphans

If your user isn't in the docker group you can add yourself to the group with:

sudo usermod -aG docker [user]

Keep in mind that you will most likely need to log out and then back in

Keeping your Let's Encrypt certificate up to date¶

To renew your Let's Encrypt wildcard cert, run the following command, replacing example.com with your domain and admin@example.com with your email:

sudo certbot certonly --manual -d *.example.com --agree-tos --no-bootstrap --manual-public-ip-logging-ok --preferred-challenges dns -m admin@example.com --no-eff-email

Verify the domain with the TXT record. Once issued, run the below commands to base64 encode the certificates and add them to the .env file.

echo "CERT_PUB_KEY=$(sudo base64 -w 0 /etc/letsencrypt/live/${rootdomain}/fullchain.pem)" >> .env
echo "CERT_PRIV_KEY=$(sudo base64 -w 0 /etc/letsencrypt/live/${rootdomain}/privkey.pem)" >> .env

Warning

You must remove the old and any duplicate entries for CERT_PUB_KEY and CERT_PRIV_KEY in the .env file.

Now run docker compose up -d restart and the new certificate will be in effect.
