# Roll Back a Bad Deploy

Updated · Edit on GitHub ↗

Shipped something broken? Roll back to a previous release in seconds. Wokku keeps
every release, so reverting is instant — no rebuild.

See your releases

App → Activity / Releases shows each deploy with its version and commit.

Each release is an immutable snapshot of the built image + config at deploy time.

Roll back

On the Releases list, click Roll back on the release you want to restore.

A rollback re-runs the chosen release’s image — no rebuild, so it’s fast.

What a rollback does and doesn’t do

  • ✅ Restores the application code of the chosen release.
  • ⚠️ Does not undo database migrations. If the bad deploy ran a destructive
    migration, rolling back the code won’t restore the schema/data — restore from
    a backup if needed.
  • ✅ Restores the config that shipped with that release.
// careful

Roll forward

Found and fixed the bug? Just deploy again — the fix becomes the newest release.
There’s no special “un-rollback” step.

Troubleshooting

  • Rollback didn’t fix it — the issue may be data/migration, not code. Check a backup restore.
  • Can’t find the good releasewokku releases my-app lists them with versions; pick the last known-good.
