+# Steps to releasing a new Appwrite version
+
+There are a handful of steps required to udpate the website for a new version of Appwrite:
+
+1. Replace all references of appwrite/appwrite:x.y.z with the latest version
+1. Update manual installation files
+1. Bump appwrite repo so latest main commit is used
+
+To simplify the process, you may use the following script:
+
+```shell
+#!/bin/bash
+
+# exit on error
+set -e
+
+if [ -z "$1" ]
+  then
+    echo "Usage: $0 <version>"
+    exit 1
+fi
+
+VERSION=$1
+
+git stash
+git checkout main
+git pull
+git checkout -b feat-$VERSION-release
+
+# Replace all references of appwrite/appwrite:x.y.z with appwrite/appwrite:$VERSION
+PATHS=(
+  'src/routes/docs/advanced/self-hosting'
+  'src/routes/blog/post'
+)
+for p in "${PATHS[@]}"; do
+  grep -rl "appwrite/appwrite:[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*" "$p" | xargs sed -i.bak "s#appwrite/appwrite:.*#appwrite/appwrite:$VERSION#g"
+  git add "$p/**/*.markdoc"
+  git add "$p/*.markdoc"
+done
+
+# Update manual installation files
+cd static/install
+docker run -it --rm \
+    --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
+    --volume "$(pwd)"/appwrite:/usr/src/code/appwrite:rw \
+    --entrypoint="install" \
+    appwrite/appwrite:$VERSION --http-port=80 --https-port=443 --interactive=N --no-start=true
+cp appwrite/docker-compose.yml compose
+cp appwrite/.env env
+sed -i.bak "s#_APP_OPENSSL_KEY_V1=.*#_APP_OPENSSL_KEY_V1=your-secret-key#g" env
+sed -i.bak "s#_APP_DB_PASS=.*#_APP_DB_PASS=password#g" env
+sed -i.bak "s#_APP_DB_ROOT_PASS=.*#_APP_DB_ROOT_PASS=rootsecretpassword#g" env
+git add compose env
+rm -rf appwrite
+cd -
+
+# Bump appwrite repo so latest main commit is used
+pnpm update @appwrite.io/repo
+git add pnpm-lock.yaml
+
+git commit -m "Bump Appwrite version to $VERSION"
+
+read -p "Ready to push? (y/n) " -n 1 -r
+if [[ $REPLY =~ ^[Yy]$ ]]; then
+  git push -u origin HEAD
