Two files needed to be modified in production because Kimai is no longer a 100% open source project, be careful not to remove the changes made

• Go to the akaunting folder

  git pull origin main
  cd volumes/akaunting

• Get the latest version of akaunting and apply the required patches

  git pull origin master
  git apply ../../patches/akaunting-modifications.patch

• Execute the following commands, one by one, do not copy and paste all at once:

  docker compose exec php npm ci
  docker compose exec php npm run production
  docker compose exec php composer prod
  docker compose exec php php artisan update:all
  docker compose exec php php artisan cache:clear
  docker compose exec php php artisan optimize:clear
  docker compose exec php php artisan migrate
