Upgrade¶

git pull origin main

Some installations might not have mime support installed by default. You should make sure it is present.

apt-get install mime-support

We have added new environment variables. Edit your .env file and add:

BASE_URL="https://forms.my-domain.com"
ENABLE_LDAP=False

If you do wish to use LDAP, please see the complete list of required variables in dotenv.example

Many Python libraries have been updated (Flask included).

pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -r ./requirements.txt

Upgrade the database schema. (you are making backup copies, right?)

Enjoy! ❤
