Aegir Upgrade Instructions

The document is laid out in the following sections:

  • Conventions and tips

  • Setting environment variables
  • Generic upgrade instructions
    • Upgrading the backend
    • Upgrading the frontend
  • Version-specific upgrade notes (read these before running anything else!)

Generic upgrade instructions

We aim to create a generic upgrade process that will be consistent across versions. This section describes this process. However, there are version-specific upgrade instructions that may be more relevant to your installation in the next section. You should check the version-specific instructions to ensure you have covered off the requirements necessary for successfully completing these version-generic steps.
