How to upgrade to new Community Build

SonarQube Server / Community Build
1

Hi all, I’m currently on 9.9.8 LTA version.
We’re considering upgrading to a more recent version.
I cannot find detailed information on suggested upgrade procedure, expecially now that new Community Build numbering scheme has been deployed and there is no more the concept of LTA version.
The official documentation of the community build leads to the server upgrade procedure (Determining the server upgrade path | SonarQube Server Documentation), which however refers to LTA.
Questions:

  • Is it possible to upgrade from 9.9.8 LTA directly to 24.12 or 25.1?
  • Which are the rule for deciding upgrade path? Are there any intermediate step now that LTA is no more?
  • What about upgrading from 24.12 to 25.x? Is it possible to upgrade between any version to any other version skipping intermediate versions or not?

IMHO documentation should be fixed to answer this questions (or I may be missing some part of the documentation)

Hey @gabri

We agree that the documentation currently available isn’t very helpful in determining upgrade paths for Community Build. We’re working on improving it.

I can tell you that you can upgrade directly from 9.9.8 to 24.12 or 25.1.

25.1 is the only “active” version of Community Build, so I recommend that you target that version.
