I am pretty new to the whole self-hosted thing and want to ensure I have the latest security fixes even for my tiny instance.

I installed my instance using Ansible and am trying to find the steps to update my lemmy-ui version but I am not having a ton of luck. Is there documentation or some steps I can take to update?

Yes there is. To do so look for the line with image: statement and do something like image: dessalines/lemmy-ui:latest Try this. You may not even have to do that. First try the plain old docker-compose pull. Since now enough time has elapsed, I am guessing that it should pull the latest image without having to edit the docker-compose.yml file.

Last silly question, what's the easiest way to verify my version post-upgrade?

The only unasked question is the silly one. If you scroll down to the bottom of your Lemmy instance in the web browser, you should see the current one you're on. It should like something like this:

I think I've got it but I noticed it doesn't show the UI version like yours?

Edit: I did have to update the yml to use latest. I'm not sure if it's something with Ansible but when I followed the update steps to update using Ansible it seems to hardcode the version in, not sure where it's pulling that from.
