Upgrade from 3.4.5 to 6.0.1

Added by Ali Alii about 1 month ago

Hello
Maybe this has been already discussed but I would like to ask because I cant find any detailed instructions.

I would like to upgrade my redmine installation 3.4.5 on SLES 12 to a new server with SLES 15 with redmine version 6.0.1 (Database MariaDB).

Can you help on detailed instructions and step by step guide ?
Do I need to perform an intermediate migration first ?
Is Redmine still supporting MariaDB ?

Thanks for all information I can have.

I have just managed to perform such an update. Though I actually only reached 5.1 yet. It was a task I've spent literary years in preparation doubts and confusion.

There are a lot of moving parts here. You need to understand, how you are going to:
- get code (via download, svn, git) - I chose git;
- get ruby versions - I chose RVM;
- run the app - I chose Passenger + nginx.

You need to be able to update code and ruby versions step by step, moving from 3.4 to newer versions.

There are a lot of underwater stones along the way I can't even remember now did I handle each one of them.

Do not plan to complete the task in a couple of hours. Prepare yourself for some learning and troubleshooting. But it is possible.

P.S. Remember to backup and do not mess up the working installation))
