Upgrade the Vera Server applications

These instructions will automatically update the Vera components configured inside your Docker compose file. In a standard installation, that will include the Vera API Server, the Tricentis Vera Web Portal, and Vera Microservices.

Note Updated: 09 DEC 2020

The Docker login credentials listed below have been updated. The credentials listed before this update will not work.

Download the new software

Note: The recommended Vera deployment now uses an environment variable file named .env in the same directory as the docker-compose.yml file. For more information on updating your docker deployment, check out Vera Deployment with Docker.

To download the new software, follow these steps:

1. Open an Administrative PowerShell prompt.

2. Navigate to the Vera Docker Compose directory that was configured during installation. This is the directory that contains the docker-compose.yml and .env files.

3. Update the VERA_RELEASE_TAG variable in the .env file with the corresponding release version .env. For example: VERA_RELEASE_TAG=2025.2.0

4. Add container sections for vera.api.workflows, vera.worker.workflows.

5. If upgrading from 2024.1 or earlier, rename the vera.api.qtest.routeactions container to vera.api.qtest in the docker-compose.yml file.
