Data safety checklist

• Back up backend volume (dev.db, secrets) before upgrading.
• Let migrations run on startup (RUN_MIGRATIONS=true) for normal deploys.
• Run docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs backend --tail=200 after rollout and verify startup/migration status.

Recommended upgrade (Docker Hub compose)

docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml pull
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d
