Migrate between SeaTable Editions¶
The migration between SeaTable Enteprise Edition and SeaTable Developer Edition is easy and possible at any time. Please make sure that you only migrate between the same major and minor versions:
- 3.3.7 Enterprise Edition 3.3.0 Developer Edition is
- 3.2.0 Developer Edition 3.2.6 Enterprise Edition is
- 3.3.7 Enterprise Edition 3.4.0 Developer Edition is
- 3.2.0 Developer Edition 3.3.7 Enterprise Edition is
You can find the available images and their versions at docker hub:
Backup is recommended
To protect your data, it is strongly recommended to back up the database prior to the migration. See the section on backup and recovery for details.
Migration¶
Basically for the migration only two things are important:
- provide a seatable server license (if necessary)
- switch the used docker image
After a restart of the docker containers, SeaTable takes care of the rest. So let see what you have to do.
Migrate from Enterprise Edition to Developer Edition
Enterprise to Developer Edition¶
Stop SeaTable Server¶
Stop all containers that are currently running.
cd /opt/seatable-compose && \
docker compose down
Switch images¶
Open your /opt/seatable-compose/.env file and add this line to use the SeaTable developer image. Make sure to replace latest with the correct version as described at the beginning of this article.
SEATABLE_IMAGE='seatable/seatable-developer:latest'
Restart SeaTable Server¶
Just copy and paste these commands to restart seatable.
cd /opt/seatable-compose && \
docker compose up -d
Migrate from Developer Edition to Enterprise Edition
Developer to Enterprise Edition¶
Stop SeaTable Server¶
Stop all containers that are currently running.
cd /opt/seatable-compose && \
docker compose down
Modify your .env file¶
Open your .env file and search for the definition of SEATABLE_IMAGE. It should point to seatable/seatable-developer. Either remove this line or add the correct SeaTable Enterprise Edition.
Provide the seatable-server licence file¶
Save the seatable-license.txt to /opt/seatable-compose.
Restart SeaTable Server¶
Just copy and paste these commands to restart seatable.
cd /opt/seatable-compose && \
docker compose up -d
