Automated Version Upgrades

[muhlba91]

Hi,

in the last few days, I have been experimenting more with Stalwart and love its feature set! 👍

I also had to figure out that the upgrade path is a manual process that involves deleting/renaming the directory storage (e.g., creating an empty database in Postgres or an empty directory for RocksDB) and inserting an export again.
This takes time for an upgrade to complete and breaks automation (e.g., I am creating the Postgres database with an IaC tool).

For now, using it in production seems to be a deal-breaker for me as my current idea for the setup would be Amazon S3 and Postgres, which are fully automated using IaC.
Hence, is there a plan to eliminate and automate this manual process within Stalwart, and do you have an ETA in mind?

I think the plan is to have automatic updates once version 1.0 is released

This will be automated once version 1.0 is released, hopefully at the end of this year or mid 2025. In the meantime you can safely upgrade between point releases by replacing the stalwart-mail binary.
