Updating Pi-Hole to 5.1.1 in Docker Compose

Help docker
1

I have been running Pi-Hole 5.0 in a docker compose container. I used docker-compose down to remove the container and deleted the folders etc-dnsmasq.d and etc-pihole. Reviewed my docker-compose.yml file and ran docker-compose up to build a fresh container. I was expecting to see Pi-Hole latest version of 5.1.1.

Results from docker-compose up:
pihole | Pi-hole version is v5.0 (Latest: v5.1.1)
pihole | AdminLTE version is v5.0 (Latest: v5.1)
pihole | FTL version is v5.0 (Latest: v5.1)

Any assistance regarding why I can't update to the latest version would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I can't really help you there, but can you post you're old 5.0 docker-compose.yml? I'm running into issues with my compose container. This could at lest help me.

Here is what do with a compose update:

Doing a container update:

Cd to the directory of the yaml file and assuming you are using docker-compose.yaml file
docker-compose pull <-pulls news images from the repository
docker-compose up -d <- should recreate the container with the new images
docker image prune <-remove old image files

Thanks - below is the docker-compose.yml - version 3. The only thing I modified is the time zone. This seems to be the one posted on GitHub. Below that are the steps I used to create the Docker environment on a RPi 3B+:

version: "3"

Awesome - thanks RonV42. That worked. Learning something new everyday. Issue resolved.
