How to update the OpenZFS ZFS filesystem

Open update page ↗
  1. Read the release notes first — self-hosted projects break config and schemas between versions more often than appliances do.
  2. Docker: pull the new image tag and recreate the container (`docker compose pull && docker compose up -d`).
  3. Package or bare metal: update through your distribution's package manager, or replace the binary from the releases page.
  4. Back up the config and database directory first. For most projects a downgrade is not supported once the schema has migrated.

Always download firmware from the manufacturer or project itself. Firmwarely links out; it never hosts firmware.

How do I update the OpenZFS ZFS filesystem?

How does Firmwarely know when there's a new version?

Is this an official OpenZFS page?

No. Firmwarely is independent. Device and brand names belong to their manufacturers; always download firmware from the official source.
