Upgrading Kanboard to a newer version is seamless. The process can be summarized to simply copy your data folder to the new Kanboard folder. Kanboard will run database migrations automatically for you.
- Always make a backup of your data before upgrading
- Always read the change log to check for breaking changes
- Always close all user sessions (flush all sessions on the server)
- Decompress the new archive
- Copy the content of your data folder into the newly uncompressed directory
- Copy your custom
config.php
if you have one - Copy your plugins if necessary
- Make sure the directory
data
is writeable by your web server user - Test
- Remove your old Kanboard directory
git pull
composer install
- Login and check if everything is ok
Note: This method will install the current development version, use at your own risk.
