Purpose of install/install.php

Hello,

I am trying to put GLPI into a Docker container.
My question is the following:

If I already have an GLPI installation and a new update is released, do I need the file install/install.php ?
Or can I safely delete it as it is only needed for brand new installations?

Thank you for your help.

Regards

Re: Purpose of install/install.php

You do not need it. When you update, and follow the official update procedure, you would have a new copy of that file when you download the new version from GitHub.
So, after the initial installation and each update, you will see that warning asking you to remove the file.

You can find the official update procedure here:

Thank you for your answer.
I was already aware of this, Maybe I did not express myself correctly.

Is this file needed for the update procedure?

When building a Docker Container I want to avoid having extra logic that determines if the file can be deleted at starttime.

If you need to update using the web interface, yes. Otherwise, no; just use the GLPI CLI to update the database schema and perform any of the optional migrations.
