The following upgrade methods are supported:
Upgrading from Xray 3.71 to Higher Versions in Debian and Red Hat Installations
When you upgrade from Xray 3.71 to higher versions, Xray service might not come up after installation. This is because of an incompatible Erlang package in RabbitMQ. You must remove the Erlang package from your installation before you proceed with the upgrade.
If you upgraded to a higher version, run the following commands:
dpkg --purge --force-all esl-erlang cd jfrog-xray-<version>-deb/third-party/rabbitmq dpkg -i esl-erlang_23.2.3-1_ubuntu_bionic_amd64.deb systemctl start xray.service
Upgrading from Xray 3.16.2 to 3.69.3 in Debian Installations
When you upgrade from Xray 3.16.2 to higher versions, Xray service might not come up after installation. This is because of an incompatible Erlang package in RabbitMQ. You must remove the Erlang package from your installation before you proceed with the upgrade.
If you upgraded to a higher version, run the following commands.
dpkg --purge --force-all esl-erlang cd jfrog-xray-<version>-deb/third-party/rabbitmq dpkg -i esl-erlang_23.2.3-1_ubuntu_bionic_amd64.deb systemctl start xray.service
RabbitMQ Upgrade to version 3.11.x and later
