Upgrading from 4.5 (non-container) to Bluespice5

I’ve seen lots of documents regarding upgrading to BS 5, all seem to only support upgrading from earlier version4 containerised builds. I have 4.4 and 4.5 non-containerised instances, can anybody point me in the direction of any supporting documents that detail upgrade procedure. Or, do I install the new version and migrate the data ? any help appreciated.

Hi,

Yes, please install the current Version then migrate the data.

Check out this page:

And:

(You can also just do:
./bluespice-deploy up -d --profile=upgrade after you import the database, since the required steps will be done automatically.)

And If you are using Collabpads:

Best wishes,
