Upgrading a self-hosted Docker instance

I'm currently running v0.17.3 on my server and want to upgrade to v0.17.4. I'm having trouble finding upgrade documentation. Is it as simple as changing the version numbers in the docker-conpose.yml file?

Yep, afterwards you should also run docker compose up -d again (or docker-compose up -d if you're using an older version).

It also never hurts to check the release notes beforehand: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/releases/tag/0.17.4
- I'm watching the releases on GitHub, but somehow completely missed the upgrade notes, lol. But that worked perfectly, thanks!
According to the release you just update the version in the docker-compose.yml file.
