Hey @Dax Yes, you can manually update an app by modifying its `docker-compose.yml`. Just SSH into your Umbrel, go to the app folder (under `/umbrel/app-data/`), and edit the `docker-compose.yml` file to use the latest image or tag. For example: `image: someuser/appname:latest` Then restart the app. After saving the file, just restart the app from the Umbrel interface. Keep in mind: manual changes might get overwritten during future app updates. Which app are you trying to update? ---

It’s the BTC pay server but it adds SHA256. ---

Simply change to: `btcpayserver/btcpayserver:2.1.5@sha256:54e5f24db058bbcf4450888265977355bb794c40909e8aeacc6d3c03137c9bab` ---

Thank you very much. Could you please write down the process for obtaining the SHA and have it recorded in case other people need to make these updates? ---

You can find the SHA on Docker Hub under the image tag Just click on the tag and the SHA256 digest will be shown there. 💪 [https://hub.docker.com/layers/btcpayserver/btcpayserver/2.1.5/images/sha256-e3946c1610a41b0bbe597b80e3a33f7d19f80e14c616a67e38615211352cf1be](https://hub.docker.com/layers/btcpayserver/btcpayserver/2.1.5/images/sha256-e3946c1610a41b0bbe597b80e3a33f7d19f80e14c616a67e38615211352cf1be) ---
