Make sure you stop your docker container. You can check the container ID with `docker ps`

`docker stop <container_ID>`

Pull the latest build from docker hub.

`docker pull t4l3nt/t4l3nt:latest`

Start up the node again

`docker run -it -p 8733:8733 -p 9733:9733 -v tlnt-data:/home/tlnt t4l3nt/t4l3nt:latest`

Login to you node

`docker ps`

Check your container ID

`docker exec -it <container_ID> bash`

Check to make sure the protocol updates is listed

`tlnt-client rpc get /config/network/user_activated_upgrades`

&#x20;Or in the `"user_activated_upgrades"` field in the config.json file.

`cat ~/.tlnt-node/config.json`

Update info should look like this around lines 28-30.

`"user_activated_upgrades": [ { "level": 635905, "replacement_protocol":     "Pt4FJEL6jZDrWLkQ2xzpqaXaDKZa23PohrfCt9t75tkGDCqzVvM" }`
