Hi there! Newbie Discourse admin here. A geekier friend did the install for me, so I’m probably missing some prior knowledge I would have if I had done it myself. I see this in my admin space: [Screenshot 2026-01-03 at 14.32.53] Does this mean things update automatically? Do I need to take any action (like clicking on that update button) or not? I don’t recall having done anything but it seems to have updated 14 hours ago… Thanks!

Updates aren’t applied automatically, you must click “Mettre à jour”. Sometimes, Docker_manager must be updated before you can update the rest, like in your screenshot. And less frequently, Discourse must be updated from the command line (./launcher rebuild app), the interface will notify you about this. [image] stephtara: it seems to have updated 14 hours ago… Updates are very frequent, but you can just wait for the dashboard to prompt you to update, it’s not necessary to update as soon as new updates are available.

Does this mean everything is auto-updating?

I think it’s that the latest version was fetched 14 hours ago. Like Canapin said, updates aren’t automatic.
