Owncast v0.1.3
Changelog
[0.1.3] - 2024-04-07
Upgrade instructions from 0.1.2
- Stop the service from running. If you’re using a pre-installed image through a hosting provider, or setup Owncast to run under systemd you can probably just simply run
systemctl stop owncast
. - Change to the directory where Owncast is installed on your server.
- If you’ve customized your web interface in any way you will want to back up the files you’ve changed or customized.
- Re-run the installer as the user you run Owncast under. For example if you are running owncast as the user “owncast”:
su -c "curl https://owncast.online/install.sh |bash" owncast
- Restart the service. If you’re running under systemd
systemctl start owncast
.
