How long does it take to update a server to Domino 12.0.1?

0.  Preparation

git pull to get the latest domino-docker changes.

./build.sh domino to build the Domino server.

Depending on the environment this might take 4-8 build automation time. After that you have your new image.
Of course the new web kit for 12.0.1 needs to be available either locally or via HTTP/HTTPS.


1. Build custom image

While my production client was still updating I took the Domino Community Docker image, the domino_container script and built my add-on image with all the additional server tasks and extension managers I need.

Time: ~15 sec


2. Update the container image -- in my case on podman

Next I took a look into the current version running and new available image, I just built.

Then a single command shuts down the existing container, removes it and brings up the container with V12.0.1. ---

Time: ~30 sec (because of the server shutdown)


domino_container inspect
(Using config file /etc/sysconfig/domino_container)
