4.7 Upgrade requires PostgreSQL binary upgrade first

Using Mayan EDMS Questions

Hello @roberto.rosario ,

In your 4.7 Release Notes you specify below…

Continuing the discussion from Version 4.7:

How do you go about doing the binary upgrade first?
When you run the compose file will it auto detect and do the upgrade itself?

Thanks,
Daniel

Hi @dbayer,

Here is the link to the KB tutorial on the process: Convert the PostgreSQL database data files version using Docker Compose

It is a variation of the backup/restore process now included in the version 4.7 Docker Compose file: Backing up a Mayan EDMS Docker Compose stack PostgreSQL service

This process is very important so make sure to include alternate methods of reverting back the installation like a disk/VM snapshot or full host backup before proceeding.

The process needs to be done only once and according to PostgreSQL new semantic versioning guidelines, no other binary update will be needed for all future 14.xx versions.

Hi @roberto.rosario,

when I try to open that KB tutorial you linked, I get “Access Denied”. Have you moved it somewhere else?

Thanks!

PS: I also saw that the Upgrading — Mayan EDMS 4.7.1 documentation docs do not contain the “Upgrade between major versions” steps anymore. I swear it was still there a few days ago. :smiley:
I recon you are removing these because of the new backup service? But we still need the instructions one last time for the upgrade to 4.7. :scream:
