bundle install --with production --without development test
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:migrate

3. Update JS dependencies

yarn install # in Avalon root dir

4. Update configuration, see Config changes above

5. Restart passenger (if using)

passenger-config restart-app

For Docker Installations

Update new code from avalon-docker

git checkout master
git pull

Pull new Avalon image. 

docker-compose pull avalon

Check config changes then replace the Avalon containers

docker-compose up avalon worker

You can also build your own image, Docker Buildkit is recommended

docker-compose build avalon
