How to upgrade Rundeck from 2.6.9 to 3.2 - rundeck

I have not seen any Rundeck documentation for an update from 2.6.x to 3.2. Is there a process to follow or site that covers the upgrade path? Thanks in advance.

The gap between Rundeck 2.6.X and 3.2.X is big. So, the main advice is to create a new instance with the latest version and import your projects (from your Rundeck 2.6.9), re-creating your resource nodes and keys. Take a look a this.
Anyway, you can follow this guide (for RPM-based instance) to upgrade your instance. Just make sure to test in a safe environment before.

Upgrading grafana v4 to v5 - or should skip and go straight to v7?

Playing catch up with Grafana versions, (Kubernetes v1.16.15 clusters)
Currently running in PRODUCTION is very out of date (v4)
I'm only upgrading now, and refactoring all my configs for the "new" provisioning.
Should I just upgrade to v5 and release in PROD, and then incrementally upgrade again to v6?
or skip v5 just straight to v7?
According to the official docs there are some functions/solutions that went deprecated from one version to another. You should take a look when upgrading to make sure that you are ready for it.
Other than that, there are two ways to get your Grafana to v7:
Step by step upgrade:
Backup Database
Backup Grafana configuration file (i.e grafana.ini)
Perform the update/upgrade depending on the chosen method.
If that won't work, you can also do a fresh install on top of an existing one or remove the current version, install the latest one and than check grafana.ini file.
If you choose the 1st option than please notice that it is considered safer to upgrade one major version at the time. Also, the database/configuration backup is always recommended.
EDIT:
If you are using Grafana Community Kubernetes Helm Charts than notice that Upgrading an existing Release to a new major version requires the Helm v3 (>= 3.1.0) starting from Grafana v6.0.0.
Thanks #Wytrzymały Wiktor
I'm taking the "safe route" upgrading v4->v5 first. New functions and configuration change impacts are too great (as I said system is very out of date!)
Re-factoring all my helm charts, and getting old dashboards re-imported to v5 DB,and backing up everything as you advise.
v5 will be released to PROD users, and then will start looking at v6 upgrade soon after.

Clean install phpBB and import data

I need to update an old forum made in phpBB from version 3.0.11 to the new / stable version 3.2.2.
It is the first time that I put my hand at phpBB.
Making an update step by step is complicated: move from 3.0.11 to 3.0.14 ... from 3.0.14 to 3.1.x ... and from 3.1.x to 3.2.2.
So I thought: can I make a clean install of 3.2.2 and import everything I need (posts / forum / users / ALLINEED)?
Do you know any plugins that do this? maybe phpBB itself does it? Or maybe I just need to export the tables from mysql?
can you advise me something?
thank you
There is no plugin to do it, but there is a process to upgrade from 3.0 to 3.2. Your forum will be as clean as a fresh install.
The more secured solution is to begin by upgrading from 3.0.11 to 3.0.14 for security reasons.
When you can stop your forum during one or two hours, stop it and upgrade directly from 3.0 to 3.2. You don’t need to upgrade to 3.1 then to 3.2.
All explanations are provided in upgrade documentation from 3.0 to 3.2
Do not forget any step! After step3, I advise you to restore the 3.0.11 forum on a local machine or another server to be sure that your backup files are not corrupted. (Yes, it could happen during a download.)
I did it a lot of time. It works fine. One hour to do it cautiously and slowly (+ download and upload time).

Meteor mongodb version

On starting meteor 1.4.1, I get this message:
Your development database is using mmapv1, the old, pre-MongoDB 3.0 database
engine. You should consider upgrading to Wired Tiger, the new engine. The
easiest way to do so in development is to run meteor reset. If you'd like to
migrate your database, please consult
https://docs.mongodb.org/v3.0/release-notes/3.0-upgrade/
I though Meteor looks after the mongodb side of things under the hood and I would need to fix it if it is not broken, Will it be a problem if left as is or should be better to upgrade, and how to go about it? Thanks
You can check it in here.
https://guide.meteor.com/1.4-migration.html#update-to-mongo-3_2
MDG recommended you to update. minimum version supported by metetor1.4 is Mongodb Version 2.6.

upgrade Jboss As7 installation to Wildfly 10

Thanks in advance. I am working on to upgrade JBOSS As7 to Wildfly 10. Manually I am able to do it. But I am looking for scripted solution that works without manual intervention as I need to upgrade 1000s of client. Please suggest some tools or scripts to do this.
Thanks,
Naga
I prefer to use CLI scripts to configure a server.
You are able to use variables and use the sript on different installations.
Also you are able to configure a new instance the same way as before.
If you use a newer version the CLI run check whether all is applicable.
I don't think that there is a general tool to migrate the config.
For minor versions you are able to copy the configuration folder, but you might loose new enhancements or features.

upgrade mongo 2.0.0 to 3.0.0 directly

I have a production mongoDB 2.0 server running on a single machine. I need to upgrade it to the latest version. Would it be possible to just restore the dump from old server into the new server? Or would I have to do it one upgrade at a time?
No, in the general case, absolutely not. Best practice is to upgrade through each major version, following the upgrade instructions in each set of release notes. You can do this without downtime if you are running a replica set, at least from 2.4 -> 3.0 (I'm not as familiar with 2.0 and 2.2 since they are ancient).
