title: Upgrade from v1 to v2
sidebar_position: 2
tags:
- Getting started
- Upgrade
- Migration
- Backup
---
Homarr v2 upgrades the existing v1 database in place. Keep the same data storage, database configuration, and
`SECRET_ENCRYPTION_KEY`; only change the Homarr image or package version for the first start.
:::danger Back up before starting v2
In Homarr v1, go to **Management → Tools → Backup**, export a backup, and keep the downloaded file somewhere safe
before starting v2. See [Backup and restore](/docs/management/backup) for details.
:::
## Upgrade
1. Pin the Homarr image to `ghcr.io/homarr-labs/homarr:v2.0.0` for the first v2 start.
2. Keep the existing `/appdata` mount, database variables, Redis configuration, and `SECRET_ENCRYPTION_KEY` unchanged.
3. Start one Homarr replica and follow its logs. Startup must reach `Migration complete`; Homarr aborts startup when a
database migration fails.
4. Open Homarr and sign in. Confirm **Management → About** reports v2 before starting additional replicas.
5. After validation, keep the version pinned or return to your normal stable release policy.
For Docker Compose, the change is limited to the image tag before the usual update:
```yaml
services:
homarr:
image: ghcr.io/homarr-labs/homarr:v2.0.0
```
```sh
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d
docker compose logs --follow homarr
```
Do not add `-v` when stopping the Compose deployment; that can remove named volumes.
## What v2 migrates
The startup migration:
- creates the Custom Widget v2, Assistant, header preference, and branding storage;
- adds Base/Mobile layout roles and left/right board gutters;
- converts legacy Categories and dynamic sections into Containers and rails;
- preserves legacy Custom Widget definitions, encrypted secrets, and board references for explicit migration.
Legacy Custom Widgets are not silently rewritten. In **Management → Custom Widgets**, entries marked
**Migration required** provide a credential-free migration prompt. Review and test the resulting v2 definition before
removing the archived v1 version. See [Custom Widgets: Import and Workshop](/docs/management/custom-widgets#import-and-workshop).
## Verify the upgraded instance
- Sign in with each enabled authentication method and verify administrator access.
- Open every important board on desktop and mobile. Check Containers, former Categories, rails, item placement, and
home-board assignments.
- Test at least one read and one permitted action for each critical integration. Recheck integration and board access
for representative Viewer, Editor, and Admin groups.
- Check Docker or Podman endpoints, search engines, uploaded media, trusted certificates, scheduled tasks, WebSockets,
and external Redis when used.
- Review every legacy Custom Widget and migrate it only after its v2 preview and requests work.
- Restart Homarr once more and confirm the logs contain no migration, database, Redis, authentication, or task errors.
## Roll back
Use the backup exported before the upgrade if you need to restore your v1 installation. Do not reuse a database that
v2 has already migrated with v1.
