Attention Pi Node Operators — Important Docker Update (Protocol v23)
Good news — Docker images for Protocol v23 have been published to the Pi Network Docker Hub repository. Many nodes will receive an automatic update; please verify and confirm the upgrade to ensure your node stays synced and fully operational.
What happened
•The Pi Core Team pushed protocol v23 images to Docker Hub.
•Some Docker setups are configured to pull updates automatically, which can prompt an in‑node notification to apply the new protocol.
Action checklist (quick, safe, recommended)
1. Check your node dashboard or terminal for an update notification. If prompted, click or confirm “Yes” to apply the update.
2. Confirm the pulled images on the host:
•docker images | grep pi-node
•docker ps –format “{{.Names}}: {{.Image}}” | grep pi-node
3. If needed, pull or re‑pull explicitly:
•docker pull pinetwork/pi-node-docker:mainnet-relay-v1.0-p24.1.0
•docker pull pinetwork/pi-node-docker:community-v1.0-p24.1.0
(adjust tag names to match your network role: mainnet‑relay, organization‑mainnet, community, etc.)
4. Restart the node container cleanly:
•docker restart <container_name>
5. Verify the node is running the correct protocol and syncing:
•docker logs -f <container_name> (watch for version and sync messages)
•Check the node web UI or local status endpoint for protocol/version info
6. Backup & rollback plan: ensure you have recent config/data backups before any major change. If something goes wrong, stop the container and redeploy the previous image tag you were running.
Troubleshooting tips
•If the node fails to start, inspect logs for missing dependencies or migration errors.
•If you see unexpected behavior, revert to the prior known-good image tag and report findings to the Core Team with log excerpts.
•Monitor the Pi community channels and official GitHub repo for release notes, known issues, and fixes.
Why this matters
Timely application of protocol updates preserves consensus compatibility and prevents forks or degraded node performance. Confirming the v23 rollout keeps your node a reliable part of the Pi Network.
