Exciting!!

I can see that it is already a little out of date. We're working on clearer versioning and admin nudges to encourage folks to update more regularly, but in the meantime I'll do it here:

If you're running a self-hosted Forem, please update regularly because we're constantly smashing bugs and improving features. Waiting too long to update could be problematic. (I believe there may actually be an onboarding bug on the version you're running).

github.com/forem/selfhost#update-f...

sudo foremctl deploy
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Happy Foreming!

Cheers, Ben. I did notice some some differences between my instance and forem.dev and dev.to

Yeah. You should continue updating periodically (at least once a week)... We will soon have a banner in admin to nag you, but in the meantime make it a habit. Updating is much easier than originally getting set up, but if you don't do it regularly it could potentially create bugs.
