Update the Coolify CLI

The CLI checks GitHub for newer releases when it starts. When an update is available, it prints the available version and the coolify update command to standard error.

Choose an update method

Use the package or installation method that owns the binary when you want it to continue managing future updates.

Update the current binary

The built-in updater downloads the latest release for your operating system and architecture, then replaces the running CLI binary:

coolify update

If the binary is installed in a system directory such as /usr/local/bin or %ProgramFiles%\Coolify, run the command with the administrator permissions required to replace that file.

Verify the update

coolify version
coolify context verify

Confirm that coolify version shows the expected CLI release. A successful context verification confirms that the updated CLI can still connect and authenticate to the selected Coolify instance.

Updating the CLI does not change its configuration file or saved contexts.
