Upgrading selfhost version?
It is okay to upgrade version to higher one, of my current version is 1.7.4 to 1.8.1.
Is that safe to do cause my clients already have data on that?
Also is all my project in 1.7.4 version will be affected when I make upgrading?
What is the right step to upgrade, I doing it now by changing the number on docker compose on it.
I am using coolify to self host my appwrite database
TL;DR
It's recommended to upgrade in small increments (e.g. 1.7.4 to 1.7.5, then 1.8.0, and 1.8.1) as per the upgrade path on the provided link for a safe upgrade without data loss. Changing the version number in Docker Compose is the right step. Your project in version 1.7.4 won't be affected.
iirc it's better to upgrade to the latest patch, migrate, then update to the next minor version and first patch (so 1.8.0), migrate, then update the patch version again
so if there is 1.7.5 update first to that before, then 1.8.0, then 1.8.1
