If you are a BTCPay Server integrators such as developer of Raspiblitz, Umbrel, Embassy OS or anybody running BTCPay Server on SQLite or MySql, please refer to the documentation.

Note for integrators

Integrators such as Raspiblitz or Umbrel: As part of our effort to make BTCPay Server more welcoming to plugins, we have made a change that may impact you.

Previously, when a user uninstalled or installed a new plugin, BTCPay Server would prompt them to restart the server by clicking on a button. Prior to version 1.7.4, this restart button was not functional due to being coupled to our own Docker deployment stack.

As of now, the restart button will instead terminate the BTCPay Server process. The process manager, such as systemd or docker should then automatically restart BTCPay Server. Please ensure that automatic restart capability exists.

Note for plugin users

We recommend you to update your plugins after this update.
