Hello,
I am currently on server version 7.8. Is there a particular upgrade path I should follow, or direct upgrade will work?
Regards!
Hello @ghosty,
Great to see you’re taking steps to update your Mattermost server to version 9.5.1.
The direct upgrade should work just fine. However, to ensure a smooth transition, it’d be recommended to take the path of incremental upgrades.
Starting from your current version 7.8, consider first upgrading to the last version of the 7.x of Mattermost. Then proceed to the main releases of 8.x and finally to 9.5.1.
Before you begin the upgrade process, please make sure that you back up your database and application files. Also, confirm that your environment meets the requirements, including software versions and settings.
For a step-by-step upgrade guide, you can refer to our Upgrade Guide.
If you encounter any issues during the upgrade, don’t hesitate to ask on this forum. We are here to help!
