Upgrade SonarQube Developer Version 8.9.9 (build 56886) to 2025 LTA 1 version

Our team is using SonarQube Developer Edition Version 8.9.9 (build 56886) and it is deployed in the VM with docker image format, could i just directly upgrade it to 2025 LTA 1 developer version?
What should i take note to not breaking existing CI/CD pipeline? please advise.
Thank you

To avoid breaking your database, you need to follow the upgrade path and update to each LTA version on the way. Which patch level of LTA you use is not relevant.

In your case: upgrade to 9.9 LTA, migrate DB, upgrade to 2025 LTA, migrate DB.

As you didn’t mention your CI/CD system. it’s difficult to answer. At least on Azure DevOps you should take care to use the latest pipeline tasks SonarQubePrepare@7, … all in the same task version after your update.
