Migration from 1.2 to 1.16.8

Install/Maintain/Configure
2

Bonjour,

You first need to backup your instance properly and create a test environment restored from the backup (see here for an example involving a binary installation with a postgreql database).

You then need to upgrade from:

  • 1.2.current (the version you are running) to v1.2.3 and then,
  • v1.3.3
  • v1.4.3
  • v1.5.3
  • v1.6.4

And verify at each step that it works using the Gitea web interface. If you get there and everything seems ok, you can then follow the instructions in the following guide and upgrade to 1.16.8 directly.

Iā€™d be very interested to know how it goes, please keep this topic updated with your progress :heart:

Cheers
