how to upgrade

[MetaiR]

hello,
I saw your doc about upgrading from Gogs but I couldn't find any references for upgrading to new version of your wonderful program.

we are using it in our server and it has projects, web hooks and etc and I want to upgrade it without any trouble or crashes (specially about losing data)

so how should I upgrade it?

I'm currently working on fix to make it possible

@lafriks
it's very good to hear that.
you think when it will be available?

I didn't setup any webhooks etc, just the basics. I'm using gitea just for my personal git needs on a rpi3. The only thing I have to do to upgrade is replacing the current binary with the newest version. Of course before doing that, I always keep a backup just to be safe. When you first run the updated version (./gitea web), wait a little bit (just a few seconds just to upgrade whatever it needs to I guess ) and you're good to go.
I updated from 1.1.2 to 1.1.3 and now to 1.2.0 without any problems so far. Everything worked like a charm!

Gogs -> 1.1 -> 1.2 does work but direct upgrade to 1.2 does not currently

[MetaiR]

so how should I upgrade? can the team create a doc at least?

[lafriks]

@MetaiR There already is documentation on how to do that - https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/upgrade-from-gogs/

but if you want to upgrade directly to 1.2 than please wait for #2460 to merged to 1.2 branch and rc2/final version of 1.2.0

@lafriks
is there any difference between upgrading from Gogs or from Gitea itself?
I mean, your doc is about upgrading from Gogs to Gitea but my case is upgrading from an old version of it to the new one, so is that be enough for my situation? (I mean the doc you mentioned)

Since Gitea developed based on Gogs, so old Gods like an old gitea version. The both process should be the same.
