Hello all,
I installed Joplin server on a raspberry PI 4 and it works perfectly.
I use version 3.5.2 and I installed it using docker (portainer) with data stored outside the container on an SSD disk.
I see a newer versions are available.
Can I update the server safely?
Are there any breaking changes between 3.5.2 and 3.7.1?
I do an extra backup, just in case...
Thanks
Tony

The [server changelog](https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/dev/readme/about/changelog/server.md) does not mention any breaking changes.
I upgraded from 3.5.2 \> 3.6.1 \> 3.7.1 as they were released and without any errors so I cannot see why moving to 3.7.1 should be a problem. That being said no one can **guarantee** that there will not be any problems _at all_ as no-one but you is familiar with how your server is built and configured. In other words make sure you are adequately backed up first 🙂
