Hey everyone. For a variety of reasons I’ve ended up with a paperless-ngx install that has not been upgraded for a while. It’s currently on 1.17.1, and I’ve been researching to figure out the best way to get back up to current. I’m worried about major changes that have happened over time and what the best way to go about this is, but I’ve not had good luck finding something that gives me the confidence to go about it. Hoping someone here has some guidance. Cheers!
I have been on the same boat a while ago. Of course it was a deployment that caught on and was serving longer than expected.
I don’t recall how many versions I skipped exactly (1-2 years worth of updates). Of course no backups set what so ever.
I looked at change log of I need something specific, there were changes in docker compose file. Did my best effort to make it succeed.
My worst case scenario was that I will have to import everything again and made sure I have all my labels, tags and settings backed up.
Nowadays I’ll just snapshot the whole VM in Proxmox.
