Upgrading from 3.28.3
or older versions Self-Hosted
Recently Appcircle made an upgrade for its IAM services, which has an important data migration related to the IAM upgrade. See the "breaking changes" note here for the details.
If you have a Docker/Podman Appcircle server deployment (standalone or DMZ-supported architecture) that is 3.28.3
or an older version, as a first step, you must upgrade to version 3.29.0
successfully, take the recommended backup, and then go on with version 3.29.3
or later.
You cannot upgrade directly from 3.28.3
or an older version to 3.29.3
or later. You must have an intermediate upgrade step with version 3.29.0
in order to be sure that all previously released data migrations have been applied before the IAM upgrade.
