After the last portainer update to 2.9.3, I noted that the documentation was manually pulling an older version of the software. It’s key to make sure that you are always downloading the LATEST version of portainer.

Step 1 update the linux distro

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Step 2 – Stop Portainer container

sudo docker stop portainer

Step 3 – Remove the container

sudo docker rm portainer

Step 4 – pull the latest image

sudo docker pull portainer/portainer-ce:latest

Step 5 – Deploy the updated version of Portainer

sudo docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -p 9000:9000 -p 9443:9443 -–name=portainer —restart=always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v portainer_data:/data portainer/portainer-ce:latest
