DotCMS has discontinued MySQL support, so users on MySQL must migrate to Postgres during their next dotCMS upgrade. We are glad to provide
this tool which should simplify the database transition for most users.
We recommending using
the latest LTS version available when upgrading dotCMS.
New installs should use
dotCMS Docker images. See our
docker-compose examples for reference.
Remember to review
the Change Logs when upgrading. The
Upgrading - Important Changes article highlights significant change in recent releases.
Upgrade soon to take advantage of a slew of new features for both headless and server-rendered sites.
Thanks!
