# Update a service

## Update the docker image for a service

The goal of this section is to show how you can update the docker image for a service, after you have built that image.

### Example Workflow

This example makes some assumptions:

* Your workflow already has a `build` job - we created one in the previous section

<pre class="language-yaml"><code class="lang-yaml"><strong>deploy:
</strong>  stage: deploy
  image:
    name: duplocloud/duploctl:v0.2.27
    entrypoint: [""]
  # this will have DUPLO_HOST and DUPLO_TOKEN
  environment:
    name: $TIER/$DUPLO_TENANT
    url: ${MYAPPS_URL}
  rules:
  # run when a new tag is pushed
  - if: $CI_COMMIT_TAG &#x26;&#x26; $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "pipeline"
    when: always
  variables:
    # build your image here
    CI_IMAGE: ${IMAGE_REGISTRY}/${CI_PROJECT_NAMESPACE}/${CI_PROJECT_NAME}:${CI_COMMIT_TAG}
    GIT_STRATEGY: none # no need to pull the repo
  needs:
  - job: publish_image
    optional: true
  before_script:
  - echo "Updating service ${CI_PROJECT_NAME} with image ${CI_IMAGE}"
  script: duploctl service update_image $CI_PROJECT_NAME $CI_IMAGE
</code></pre>

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.duplocloud.com/docs/automation-platform/introduction-to-ci-cd/gitlab-ci-cd/update-a-service.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
