Hi, I’m using the latest Ghost Docker image. I’d like to know if I’m thinking the right way that I will need to refresh the theme manually or with some custom integration if a new version of the theme rolls out? So at least no surprising refreshes will happen that would wipe out the modifications I made…
Correct, the only theme that is updated “automatically” is the default casper theme that’s included with Ghost. Any custom theme that is installed, even if they are based on Casper, will be untouched until you manually upload a new version of the theme.

Hi Kevin, and what about modifying files of themes and updating it on our server?
I see that changes don’t apply. Maybe because cache or something like that?
Thanks for your time :)
If you manually edit files on the server then you’ll need to restart the Ghost instance to clear the caches. Uploading a theme zip is the preferred route as the internal cache clearing is handled for you without any downtime.
