What would we even write? I'm working on the release notes for 6.4 (#10853) and I'm struck by how a classic installation is assumed. See the 6.3 upgrade instructions, for example.
Oliver Bertuch (Sep 19 2024 at 20:18):First of all, much of the undeploy/deploy shennaningans don't apply to us.
Oliver Bertuch (Sep 19 2024 at 20:19):Same goes for copying domaindirs and such stuff
Oliver Bertuch (Sep 19 2024 at 20:19):The other parts like executing some curl commands against your DB, load metadata schemas etc is more or less the same
Oliver Bertuch (Sep 19 2024 at 20:20):A notable difference is the likelyhood of not doing this from what looks like localhost to DV, so you need to add the unblock-key stuff to admin endpoints
Oliver Bertuch (Sep 19 2024 at 20:23):Are we telling people to have a DB backup done before upgrading?
Oliver Bertuch (Sep 19 2024 at 20:23):We could include how to do that with Docker/K8s. On the other hand, we don't include this for a classic installation, do we?
Oliver Bertuch (Sep 19 2024 at 20:24):It might be nice to explain, maybe some place else, not in the release notes, how you can test an update with containers and a snapshot of your production database before actually deploying it to production
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Sep 19 2024 at 20:26):Yes, great ideas.
