Upgrading from previous Reven versions

Upgrading from Reven <=2.11 to esReven

To upgrade from a previous Reven version, you will:

• First, install a new esReven version
• Then, move the old Reven data to the new storage structure.

Notable pre-requisite changes

The pre-requisites for a fresh esReven installation or an upgrading from a previous Reven version are the same. Please check the Installation pre-requisites page to make sure your setup fits.

The most notable change compared to previous Reven versions is that only the docker installation package is now shipped.

• Native debian package installation is no longer supported.
• Pre-configured VM disks are no longer shipped, but installing the docker package in a VM is still an option.

In both cases above, the upgrade paths are described in the upgrade guide.

Upgrade guide

A step-by-step upgrade guide is available in the package.

1. Please read the package's guide to understand the changes involved and learn which upgrade path is for you.
2. Then, follow the regular Installing esReven section.
3. Finally, perform the upgrade as described in the package's guide.
