How to downgrade/restore Ant Media server to previous version after upgrading?

[Mohit-3196]

I recently upgraded my Ant Media Server instance from v2.5.3 to v2.6.1. I was wondering if there is a way to restore and go back to v2.5.3 again.

Thanks @Mohit-3196 for asking this question.

When you make a fresh installation or upgrade over an older version, the previous installation backed up in the /usr/local directory with a timestamp value like antmedia-backup-2022-11-18_15-42-54. Now, in order to restore the previous installation, kindly follow the below commands:

sudo systemctl stop antmedia
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/antmedia
sudo cp -p -R /usr/local/antmedia-backup_folder/ /usr/local/antmedia
sudo chown -R antmedia:antmedia /usr/local/antmedia/
sudo systemctl start antmedia
