Hi @kajafarov ,

upgrading from 7.1.2 is easy, you just follow these instructions if you’re using the binary edition:  
[https://docs.mattermost.com/upgrade/upgrading-mattermost-server.html](https://docs.mattermost.com/upgrade/upgrading-mattermost-server.html)

If you’re using the docker edition, you just change the version in your `.env` file, run `docker-compose down` followed by the `docker-compose up` command you’re always using.

There’s no built-in way to encrypt the database, so if you’re looking for at-rest encryption, I suggest to put the MySQL data directory on an encrypted volume or to configure your MySQL server to use data-at-rest encryption for the tables in the Mattermost database, but please be careful, it needs to be fully transparent to the Mattermost service!
