title: Migration Guide
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Generally, the intention is that `unleash-server` should always provide support for clients one major version lower than the current one. This should make it possible to upgrade `unleash` gradually.
|
|
|
|
## Upgrading from v3.x to v4.x {#upgrading-from-v3x-to-v4x}
|
|
|
|
Before you upgrade we strongly recommend that you take a full [database backup](/deploy/database_backup), to make sure you can downgrade to version 3.
|
|
|
|
You can also read the highlights of **[what's new in v4](/user_guide/v4-whats-new)**.
|
|
|
|
### 1. All API calls now requires token. {#1-all-api-calls-now-requires-token}
|
|
|
|
If you are upgrading from Unleash Open-Source v3 client SDKs did not need to use an API token in order to connect to Unleash-server. Starting from v4 we have back-ported the API token handling for Enterprise in to the Open-Source version. This means that all client SDKs now need to use a client token in order to connect to Unleash.
|
|
|
|
Read more in the [API token documentation](../user_guide/api-token).
|
|
|
|
### 2. Configuring Unleash {#2-configuring-unleash}
|
|
|
|
We have done a lot of changes to the options you can pass in to Unleash. If you are manually configuring Unleash you should have a look on the updated [configuring Unleash documentation](./configuring_unleash)
|
|
|
|
### 3. Role-based Access Control (RBAC) {#3-role-based-access-control-rbac}
|
|
|
|
We have implemented RBAC in Unleash v4. This has totally changed the permission system in Unleash.
|
|
|
|
**Required actions:** If you have implemented "custom authentication" for your users you will need to make changes to your integration:
|
|
|
|
- _extendedPermissions_ option has been removed. You can no longer specify custom permission per-user basis. All "logged_in users" must belong to a "root" role. This can be "Admin", "Editor" or "Viewer". This is taken care of when you create new users via userService.
|
|
- All "logged-in users" needs to be defined in Unleash and have a unique ID. This can be achieved by calling "createUser" on "userService".
|
|
|
|
Code example:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const user = userService.loginUserWithoutPassword(
|
|
'some@getunleash.io',
|
|
false, // autoCreateUser. Set to true if you want to create users on the fly.
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
// The user needs to be set on the current active session
|
|
req.session.user = user;
|
|
```
|
|

### 4. Legacy v2 routes removed {#4-legacy-v2-routes-removed}
|
|
|
|
Only relevant if you use the `enableLegacyRoutes` option.
|
|
|
|
In v2 you could query feature toggles on `/api/features`. This was deprecated in v4 and we introduced two different endpoints (`/api/admin/features` and `/api/client/features`) to be able to optimize performance and security. In v3 you could still enable the legacy routes via the `enableLegacyRoutes` option. This was removed in v4.
|
|
|
|
### 5. Unleash CLI has been removed {#5-unleash-cli-has-been-removed}
|
|
|
|
Unleash no longer ships with a binary that allows you to start Unleash directly from the command line. From v4 you need to either use Unleash via docker or programmatically.
|
|
|
|

## Upgrading from v2.x to v3.x {#upgrading-from-v2x-to-v3x}
|
|
|
|
The notable change introduced in Unleash v3.x is a strict separation of API paths for client requests and admin requests. This makes it easier to implement different authentication mechanisms for the admin UI and all unleash-clients. You can read more about [securing unleash](https://github.com/Unleash/unleash/blob/master/docs/securing-unleash.md).
|
|
|
|
The recommended approach is to first upgrade the `unleash-server` to v3 (which still supports v2 clients). After this is done, you should upgrade all your clients to v3.
|
|
|
|
After upgrading all your clients, you should consider turning off legacy routes, used by v2 clients. Read more about this option in the [Getting started guide](https://github.com/Unleash/unleash/blob/master/docs/getting-started.md#2-or-programmatically).

## Upgrading from v1.0 to v2.0 {#upgrading-from-v10-to-v20}

### Caveat 1: Not used db-migrate to migrate the Unleash database? {#caveat-1-not-used-db-migrate-to-migrate-the-unleash-database}
|
|
|
|
In FINN we used liquibase, for internal reasons, to migrate our database.
|
|
Because unleash from version 2.0 migrates the database internally, with db-migrate, you need to make sure that all previous migrations for version 1 exist, so that Unleash does not try to create already existing tables.
|
|
|
|
#### How to check? {#how-to-check}
|
|
|
|
If you don't have a "migrations" table with _7 unique migrations_ you are affected by this.
|
|
|
|
#### How to fix? {#how-to-fix}
|
|
|
|
Before starting unleash version 2 you have to run the SQL located under `scripts/fix-migrations-version-1.sql`
|
|
|
|
### Caveat 2: databaseUrl (not database*Uri*) {#caveat-2-databaseurl-not-databaseuri}
|
|
|
|
Using Unleash as a library and injecting your own config? Then you should know that we changed the `databaseUri` config param name to **databaseUrl**. This is to make sure the param is aligned with the environment variable `DATABASE_URL` and avoid multiple names for the same config param.
