6. Run `sudo -Hu postgres pg_restore -d <pleroma_db> -v -1 </path/to/backup_location/pleroma.pgdump>`
7. If you installed a newer Pleroma version, you should run `mix ecto.migrate`[^1]. This task performs database migrations, if there were any.
8. Restart the Pleroma service.

+9. After you've restarted Pleroma, you will notice that postgres will take up more cpu resources than usual. A lot in fact. To fix this you must do a VACUUM ANLAYZE. This can also be done while the instance is still running like so:
+ $ sudo -u postgres psql pleroma_database_name
+ pleroma=# VACUUM ANALYZE;
[^1]: Prefix with `MIX_ENV=prod` to run it using the production config file.

# Updating your instance
+
+You should **always check the release notes/changelog** in case there are config deprecations, special update special update steps, etc.
+
+Besides that, doing the following is generally enough:
+
+## For OTP installations
+
+```sh
+# Download the new release
+su pleroma -s $SHELL -lc "./bin/pleroma_ctl update"
+
+# Migrate the database, you are advised to stop the instance before doing that
+su pleroma -s $SHELL -lc "./bin/pleroma_ctl migrate"
+```
+
+## For from source installations (using git)
+
1. Go to the working directory of Pleroma (default is `/opt/pleroma`)
2. Run `git pull`. This pulls the latest changes from upstream.
3. Run `mix deps.get`. This pulls in any new dependencies.
