Here is the guide https://github.com/designcreateplay/NodeBB/wiki/Upgrading-NodeBB
Since I don't actually have a community started and just have nodebb running on my server to show off currently I don't worry about the backups. I just type in:
./nodebb stop
git pull
./nodebb upgrade
./nodebb start
Good thing i made a backup before trying to update, i just did ./nodebb stop then ./nodebb upgrade and messed up the site, gave me a heart attack, doing this and successfully updated, Thanks.
All my plugins are working properly with the new version.
In general plugins should be compatible within a minor version (ex. 0.4 to 0.5), at least from now on We are doing deprecation notices so you will know in advanced what plugins will break when you upgrade.
