Before performing the upgrade steps, any customisations on your node should be saved i.e.

• '.env' (node name & contact)
• 'docker-compose.yml' (for any nginx config)

Performing the following additional steps will help migrate any customisations;

1. 'git stash' to save your customisations
2. 'git pull' to get the new updates
3. 'git stash apply' to merge in your saved customisations
4. './docker-up.sh' to restart the container.

These are the steps I performed on both of my Apothem nodes and resulted in clean upgrades.
