Updater

Contao Updater

Keeping a Contao site current means running Composer commands, checking changelogs across multiple packages, and hoping nothing breaks. Contao Updater brings all of that into a single backend screen.

Features

• Checks installed packages against the latest available versions
• Shows changelogs and release notes before you apply an update
• Runs Composer update in the background with real-time log output
• Clears and rebuilds the Contao cache automatically after each update
• Supports selective updates — update one package or all at once

Safety first

• Creates a snapshot before updating so you can roll back if something goes wrong
• Flags breaking changes (major version bumps) before applying
• Shows the exact Composer command being run for full transparency

Requirements

• Contao 4.13 or 5.x
• PHP 8.1+
• Composer available on the server (path-based or via phar)
