Upgrade to Carbonio 25.3.0#

This section contains the manual upgrade procedures to the latest Carbonio release, from the latest 24.12 and from oldest versions, the changelogs of recent and older releases, and any security advice, if present.

Carbonio does not have any installer: whenever new versions are released, the Zextras repositories are updated and packages are available for installation along with the other system updates. Therefore, the Carbonio upgrade procedure is carried out along with the system upgrade.

The upgrade procedure can be carried out manually or using Ansible. The latter procedure works even if you installed Carbonio manually, provided you fill in the inventory file.

In both cases, the procedure will upgrade any version of Carbonio to the latest available at the moment you start the procedure. In other words, the starting version is not important: upgrading from 24.12, 24.9 or 24.7 will bring Carbonio to the latest version of Carbonio (at the time of writing, 25.3.0).

Before starting an upgrade procedure, it is strongly suggested to make a snapshot of the Nodes and a backup of the data.
