Upgrading from 4.3.0

Thank you. Two questions:

  1. If I were to take the database backup over to a fresh install of Ubuntu server and Mattermost 6.3.3 and restored it and fixed the schema and just had everyone create new users, would the older material be visible? Since this is literally just a family/friends thing, I don’t have to maintain any integrations or even persist identity. We just want to have the old discussion history and pictures and stuff. It doesn’t have to remain editable by post owners, etc.

  2. I have the database backup already, but am unsure where files - like images posted in channels - are stored. The database seems too small to possibly contain them.

My current plan is to try your path. I took Ubuntu from 16.04 to 18.04 last night.
