Dear SonarQube Community,
We are planning to upgrade our existing licensed SonarQube Developer Edition instance from its current version, 10.8.1 (101195) NO LONGER ACTIVE, to a newer LTA (Long-Term Active) version. We are specifically looking at the 2025.1 LTA release, as we understand this is the current LTA.
Our SonarQube instance utilizes MS SQL Server 2019 as its database.
From our understanding, LTA versions are now the recommended choice for stable production environments.
Could you please provide a comprehensive, step-by-step guide for this upgrade process? We are seeking a detailed plan for migrating from version 10.8.1 to the recommended LTA version, with particular attention to:
- Any specific considerations or steps related to the MS SQL Server 2019 database.
- Crucially, recommended steps for a “rollback plan” in case something goes wrong during the upgrade process.
Given that frequent upgrades can disrupt our ongoing development processes, we are particularly interested in identifying an LTA version that requires the fewest subsequent updates. Which LTA version would you recommend for our needs, prioritizing a minimal upgrade frequency?
Thank you in advance for your assistance and detailed recommendations!
