Chapter 2. Standalone upgrade


In general, single-step upgrades from prior (N-2, N-3) minor versions. This helps simplify the upgrade procedure for customers on older releases. The following upgrade paths are supported for Red Hat Quay 3.14.0:

  • 3.11.z 3.14.0
  • 3.12.z 3.14.0
  • 3.13.z 3.14.0

Upgrading to 3.14.0 from releases older than those listed above is unsupported. This helps ensure that any necessary database migrations are done correctly and in the right order during the upgrade.

For users wanting to upgrade the Red Hat Quay Operator, see Upgrading the Red Hat Quay Operator Overview.

This document describes the steps needed to perform each individual upgrade. Determine your current version and then follow the steps in sequential order, starting with your current version and working up to your desired target version.

See the Red Hat Quay Release Notes for information on features for individual releases.

The general procedure for a manual upgrade consists of the following steps:

  1. Stop the Quay and Clair containers.
  2. Backup the database and image storage (optional but recommended).
  3. Start Clair using the new version of the image.
  4. Wait until Clair is ready to accept connections before starting the new version of Red Hat Quay.
