+# Updating Images
+As new versions of the software housed in the Docker images are released the
+versions used should be updated. This document describes the process for doing
+that.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> This document assumes experience
+> [building the images locally](https://github.com/WebKitForWindows/docker-webkit-dev?tab=readme-ov-file#building-locally).
+> If unfamiliar please attempt to build the images as is before attempting to
+> modify them.
+
+## Finding new versions
+Software versions in Dockerfiles are manually determined. Check the software's
+site for updates using the :point_down: table.
+
+| Software | Download Link |
+|---|:---:|
+| git | https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases |
+| perl | https://strawberryperl.com/releases.html |
+| python | https://www.python.org/downloads |
+| pip | https://pypi.org/project/pip |
+| pywin32 | https://pypi.org/project/pywin32 |
+| ruby | https://rubyinstaller.org/downloads |
+| webrick | https://github.com/ruby/webrick/releases |
+| cmake | https://cmake.org/download |
+| ninja | https://ninja-build.org |
+| nuget | https://www.nuget.org/downloads |
+| llvm | https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases |
+
+Every software in the Dockerfile has a corresponding `_VERSION` environment
+variable. Update this variable to install the newer version.
+
+Installing the software is done through the
+[WebKitDev PowerShell module](https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/WebKitDev).
+If the download fails open an
+[issue](https://github.com/WebKitForWindows/powershell-webkit-dev/issues) there.
+
+> [!Warning]
+> The WebKitDev module expands a filename pattern for the installer. Any changes
+> to the naming scheme will cause download failures. The module may be replaced
+> by [Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org) in the future.
+
+## Building
+Use the `Build-All.ps1` PowerShell script to build the images. Again it expects
+a single argument `-Tag` which specifies the tag to build.
+
+```powershell
+./Build-All -tag 2022
+```
+
+Executing the script will create all the `webkitdev` images. Most of `RUN`
+commands in the Dockerfiles, minus those installing Visual Studio and the
+Windows SDK, will complete in short order. However, the entire build process may
+require a significant amount of time to complete.
+
+> [!Warning]
+> Sometimes an updated installer will fail to run within the container. If an
+> installer is taking an abnormal amount of time to complete stop the build,
+> hit `CTRL-C`, and revert the change for that version. If the script gets past
+> that `RUN` command then pin the version by leaving a comment in the
+> Dockerfile.
+>
+> Conversely if a new version appears after pinning try to update the version in
+> case the installation issue is resolved.
+
+After the script completes run `docker images` and verify the images are present
+and tagged. The created time should be within the time frame of the build.
+
+## Verification
+The best way to verify the new images is to run a [buildbot](BUILDBOT.md)
+locally. If that's not possible the `webkitdev/msbuild-2022` image can be used
+to make a build. Follow the instructions on
+[building the Windows WebKit port](https://github.com/WebKitForWindows/docker-webkit-dev?tab=readme-ov-file#building-the-windows-webkit-port).
+
+If the Buildbot instance runs successfully or the build completes within the
+updated image it is ready to land.
+
+## Creating the PR
+With the changes tested locally its time to open a PR. Create a branch
+`tools-YYYY-MM-DD`, where `YYYY-MM-DD` corresponds with the current date. The
+first line of the commit message should be `Update tools`. From there write the
+software and the new version. A commit that follows these rules looks like :point_down:.
+
+```text
+Update tools
+
+pip -> 24.1.1
+cmake -> 3.30.0
+llvm -> 18.1.8
+```
+
+Push the branch and open a PR on the repository. The CI will attempt to build
+the changes and if they pass the PR is ready to merge.
