Upgrade Anxiety - Terrified of upgrading in fear of messing it

I have upgrade anxiety because I believe it won’t go as smoothly, and I’ll end up spending a weekend or two or three or god knows what.

Partially, it’s coming from not being able to understand what the install script does exactly.

Is there a way to install a new version on another box/VPS, etc, and then just switch over?

I’ve been running MIAB for a few years now, and never had trouble with upgrading to another version. (I run a reasonably standard MIAB box but self-hosted.)

I have kept a record of the (minor) tweaks I made, so I can check/recreate them after upgrades.

If you’ve got the current backup copied to another machine, the restore process is fine.Should the worst come to the worst, you wouldn’t be down for long :slight_smile:
