Upgrading
Seatsurfing supports automated in-place upgrades. When starting a newer version of Seatsurfing backend with an existing database, the database schema version is determined and required schema upgrades are performed automatically.
Note: Downgrades are not supported and may result in startup failures and corrupt data!
Steps to upgrade
- Backup your existing Seatsurfing database. Example:
pg_dumpall -U seatsurfing' > ./seatsurfing_db.psql
- Shut down the running Seatsurfing backend Docker container.
- Start the newer version of the Seatsurfing backend with the existing database.
