+# MoviePilot System Update & Restart
+
+> All script paths are relative to this skill file.
+
+This skill provides capabilities to restart MoviePilot service, check for updates, and perform manual upgrades.
+
+## Restart MoviePilot
+
+### Method 1: Using REST API (Recommended)
+
+Call the restart endpoint with admin authentication:
+
+```bash
+# Using moviepilot-api skill
+python scripts/mp-api.py GET /api/v1/system/restart
+```
+
+Or with curl:
+```bash
+curl -X GET "http://localhost:3000/api/v1/system/restart" \
+  -H "X-API-KEY: <YOUR_API_TOKEN>"
+```
+
+**Note:** This API will restart the Docker container internally. The service will be briefly unavailable during restart.
+
+### Method 2: Using execute_command tool
+
+If you have admin privileges, you can execute the restart command directly:
+
+```bash
+docker restart moviepilot
+```
+
+## Check for Updates
+
+### Method 1: Using REST API
+
+```bash
+python scripts/mp-api.py GET /api/v1/system/versions
+```
+
+This returns all available GitHub releases.
+
+### Method 2: Check current version
+
+```bash
+# Check current version
+cat /app/version.py
+```
+
+## Upgrade MoviePilot
+
+### Option 1: Automatic Update (Recommended)
+
+Set the environment variable `MOVIEPILOT_AUTO_UPDATE` and restart:
+
+1. **For Docker Compose users:**
+   ```bash
+   # Edit docker-compose.yml, add environment variable:
+   environment:
+     - MOVIEPILOT_AUTO_UPDATE=release  # or "dev" for dev版本
+   
+   # Then restart
+   docker-compose down && docker-compose up -d
+   ```
+
+2. **For Docker run users:**
+   ```bash
+   docker stop moviepilot
+   docker rm moviepilot
+   docker run -d ... -e MOVIEPILOT_AUTO_UPDATE=release jxxghp/moviepilot
+   ```
+
+The update script (`/usr/local/bin/mp_update.sh` or `/app/docker/update.sh`) will automatically:
+- Check GitHub for latest release
+- Download new backend code
+- Update dependencies if changed
+- Download new frontend
+- Update site resources
+- Restart the service
+
+### Option 2: Manual Upgrade
+
+If you need to manually download and apply updates:
+
+1. **Get latest release version:**
+   ```bash
+   curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/jxxghp/MoviePilot/releases | grep '"tag_name"' | grep "v2" | head -1
+   ```
+
+2. **Download and extract backend:**
+   ```bash
+   # Replace v2.x.x with actual version
+   curl -L -o /tmp/backend.zip https://github.com/jxxghp/MoviePilot/archive/refs/tags/v2.x.x.zip
+   unzip -d /tmp/backend /tmp/backend.zip
+   ```
+
+3. **Backup and replace:**
+   ```bash
+   # Backup current installation
+   cp -r /app /app_backup
+   
+   # Replace files (exclude config and plugins)
+   cp -r /tmp/backend/MoviePilot-*/* /app/
+   ```
+
+4. **Restart MoviePilot:**
+   ```bash
+   # Use API or docker restart
+   python scripts/mp-api.py GET /api/v1/system/restart
+   ```
+
+### Important Notes
+
+- **Backup first:** Before upgrading, backup your configuration and database
+- **Dependencies:** Check if requirements.in has changes; if so, update virtual environment
+- **Plugins:** The update script automatically backs up and restores plugins
+- **Non-Docker:** For non-Docker installations, use `git pull` or `pip install -U moviepilot`
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+| Issue | Solution |
+|-------|----------|
+| Restart fails | Check if Docker daemon is running; verify container has restart policy |
+| Update fails | Check network connectivity to GitHub; ensure sufficient disk space |
+| Version unchanged | Verify `MOVIEPILOT_AUTO_UPDATE` environment variable is set correctly |
+| Dependency errors | May need to rebuild virtual environment: `pip-compile requirements.in && pip install -r requirements.txt` |
+
+## Environment Variables for Auto-Update
+
+| Variable | Value | Description |
+|----------|-------|-------------|
+| `MOVIEPILOT_AUTO_UPDATE` | `release` | Auto-update to latest stable release |
+| `MOVIEPILOT_AUTO_UPDATE` | `dev` | Auto-update to latest dev version |
+| `MOVIEPILOT_AUTO_UPDATE` | `false` | Disable auto-update (default) |
+| `GITHUB_TOKEN` | (token) | GitHub token for higher rate limits |
+| `GITHUB_PROXY` | (url) | GitHub proxy URL for China users |
+| `PROXY_HOST` | (url) | Global proxy host |
