Updating Wings ​

Updating Wings gets you bug fixes, security patches, and new features. Read the release notes, back up your Wings configuration, and check Panel/Wings version compatibility before updating.

What restarts?

Game server containers run independently of Wings and normally keep running during a Wings-only restart. Console connections, server controls, and SFTP are interrupted while Wings is unavailable. Docker, host OS, and game updates are separate operations and may require stopping games.

If you use the Panel's All-in-One image or package, follow Updating the Panel instead. Its update includes Wings; there is no separate AIO wings Compose service to update.

Pick the method matching how you installed Wings:

Return to the directory containing your Wings compose.yml. Pull the latest image and recreate the wings service:

bash
docker compose pull wings
docker compose up -d --no-deps wings
docker compose ps
docker compose logs --tail 50 wings

Docker handles the restart as part of up -d. Keep the existing configuration and data mounts.

After updating, check Admin → Nodes → (your node) → Overview for the Wings version, then open a game console and confirm it reconnects.
