Upgrade

The self-hosted version supports an automated updates that will notify admin users whenever new packages are available for download.

It is important the Plainpad installation directory is writable so that the modified files can be replaced and the old can be removed.

In addition, Plainpad requires the PHP Zip extension to be installed for the update process to work.

Steps:

2. Make sure the entire Plainpad directory is writable 777 (the PHP process should be able to make changes to the file system).
3. Go to the settings page and click the update button.
4. An error will be displayed due to the laravel upgrade, that's fine this time.
