Updating from 0.32 to 0.53

Hi there,
I am looking to update my metabase from version 0.32.9 to 0.53.2. I am new to my team and have not updated metabase in the past.

We run MB on a linux server via a jar file so I plan on stopping the service replacing the jar file and resuming with my backup MB data from our 0.32.9 version.

I am wondering if it is possible to jump straight to the 0.53.2 jar file without any major disruptions or if I should increment my updates in stages. metabase/docs/installation-and-operation/upgrading-metabase.md at master · metabase/metabase · GitHub
I read here "If you're on a Metabase version older than Metabase 40, you'll need to upgrade release by release until you're on the latest version of Metabase 40. From the latest version of Metabase 40, you can then jump to the current version of Metabase."

Can anyone advise on how I should approach this? Will be very grateful! Thanks!!

you should first do a backup of the application database. Once you do that and you're 100% sure that the backup is fine, then you can start the upgrade process:

  1. use the latest minor versions of the major version you're trying to go to. If the upgrade is correct, make a backup there as well, so you save some work if you need to go back
  2. then from 40 to 53, make the jump

Hi Luiggi! Thanks for the quick response.
Just to confirm, Do I have to install versions 0.32.4 / 0.32.3 etc. Or can I use 0.33 - 0.34 - 0.35 and so forth?

0.32.10
0.33.7.3
0.34.3
