# Upgrade RAGFlow
import Tabs from '@theme/Tabs';
import TabItem from '@theme/TabItem';

Upgrade RAGFlow to `nightly-slim`/`nightly` or the latest, published release.

## Upgrade RAGFlow to `nightly-slim`/`nightly`, the most recent, tested Docker image

`nightly-slim` refers to the RAGFlow Docker image *without* embedding models, while `nightly` refers to the RAGFlow Docker image with embedding models. For details on their differences, see [ragflow/docker/.env](https://github.com/infiniflow/ragflow/blob/main/docker/.env).

To upgrade RAGFlow, you must upgrade **both** your code **and** your Docker image:

1. Clone the repo

   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/infiniflow/ragflow.git
   ```

2. Update **ragflow/docker/.env**:

<Tabs
  defaultValue="nightly-slim"
  values={[
    {label: 'nightly-slim', value: 'nightly-slim'},
    {label: 'nightly', value: 'nightly'},
  ]}>
  <TabItem value="nightly-slim">

```bash
RAGFLOW_IMAGE=infiniflow/ragflow:nightly-slim
```

  </TabItem>
  <TabItem value="nightly">

```bash
RAGFLOW_IMAGE=infiniflow/ragflow:nightly
```

  </TabItem>
</Tabs>

3. Update RAGFlow image and restart RAGFlow:

   ```bash
   docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml pull
   docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up -d
   ```
