should I always keep my server uptate?

[suonli]

I am using bandwagonhost, and I am not sure if I need to do something to keep the service latest.
Some time the docker will dead and I need to restart the docker by myself.

Should I or can I do something to let this became easier?
Is these any command ?
Thanks a lot.

Well, not necessary. Sometime it can be worse.
You can check the release note and code push comment to find out why.
I had a big trouble when they changed outline build up with root.

for my personal habbit,
I rebuild my server every 2-4 months, and read the release note to check when should I make a big step(re-build entire servers, change into new psychical position).

I've used the DigitalOcean server for 4 month, and have never had a dead docker problem... I'm not sure if it's problems from your bandwagon host.

@suonli Thanks for trying Outline. I'm afraid I'm not familiar with BandwagonHOST. Which OS template did you use?

BTW, @sailosha is correct: if Docker is correctly installed and the Outline install script ran without errors then you should never have problems with the server not restarting - and the server should be kept up to date.

Can you copy and paste the output of this command?:

docker ps
