Update meilisearch

[wuast94]

There is already an issue #426 but without any usefull information.

my main reason is security. running old containers (v1.6 is 9month old and v1.9 what i use is 3month old).
running old containers is always a bad advice becouse they also have all the security issues of the base image, all old dependencys and app.

also recource usage, speed improvements etc are some things that are always nice to have.

The Meilisearch upgrade procedure (when running in a container) is a massive pain in the arse (and I say this as someone who uses it daily).

For a project like this upgrading it in-place is practically impossible. It is going to be far easier to have people re-create their Meilisearch index on the new version and re-index.

Does the reindex all bookmarks button in the admin interface do this?

Does the reindex all bookmarks button in the admin interface do this?

That's exactly what it does yes.

[wuast94]

so clearing the meilisearch data, start with new version, and then reindex all bookmarks should work?

[dtomlinson91]

Yeah bring the whole stack down, backup & delete the data.ms directory (so the Meilisearch volume), bump the Meilisearch image tag and bring it back up and re-index.

@wuast94 as long as newer version of mellisearch work with their old clients (they are keeping client backward compatibility), this should work yes. Reindexing is extremely fast.

then i will try it the next days and report back :)
