These steps apply to PFN on mainnet or testnet. Your network is determined by the docker image tag or git branch and the genesis/waypoint files in your config.

​
A) Docker-based PFN

# 1) Pull the new image
docker pull aptoslabs/validator:mainnet    # use :testnet for testnet

# 2) Stop + remove the old container (adjust the name if different)
docker stop aptos-pfn || true && docker rm aptos-pfn || true

# 3) Start with the SAME volume and your config (fullnode.yaml + genesis/waypoint)
docker run -d --name aptos-pfn   -v $(pwd):/opt/aptos/etc   -p 8080:8080 -p 9101:9101   aptoslabs/validator:mainnet   aptos-node -f /opt/aptos/etc/fullnode.yaml

​
B) Source-based PFN

# 1) Update source
cd aptos-core || git clone https://github.com/aptos-labs/aptos-core.git && cd aptos-core
git fetch --tags
git checkout origin/mainnet   # or origin/testnet

# 2) Rebuild
cargo build -p aptos-node --release

# 3) Restart your service/process using the new binary
# e.g., systemd: systemctl restart aptos-pfn
