== Migration from older versions
To upgrade to a new version of Keycloak first download and install the new version of Keycloak.
You then have to migrate the database, keycloak-server.json, providers, themes and applications from the old version.
To upgrade to a new version of Keycloak first download and install the new version of Keycloak. Once the new version
is installed migrate the database, keycloak-server.json, providers, themes and applications to the new applications.
This chapter contains some general migration details which are applicable to all versions. There are instructions for
migration that is only applicable to a specific release. If you are upgrading from a very old version you need to go
through all intermediate version specific migration.
It's highly recommended that you backup your database prior to upgrading Keycloak.
Migration from a candidate release (CR) to a Final release is not supported. We do however recommend that you test
migration for a CR so we can resolve any potential issues before the Final is released.
=== Migrate database
Keycloak provides automatic migration of the database.
It's highly recommended that you backup your database prior to upgrading Keycloak. Migrating from a release candidate to
a final release is not supported. For reason for release candidates we recommend that you create a copy of your production
database to test release candidates.
Keycloak can automatically migration the database schema, or you can choose to do it manually.
To enable automatic upgrading of the database if you're using a relational database make sure `databaseSchema` is set to `update` for `connectionsJpa`:
==== Relational database
To enable automatic upgrading of the database schema set the `migrationStrategy` property to `update` for
the default `connectionsJpa` provider:
[source]
----
"connectionsJpa": {
"default": {
<spi name="connectionsJpa">
<provider name="default" enabled="true">
<properties>
...
"databaseSchema": "update"
}
}
<property name="migrationStrategy" value="update"/>
</properties>
</provider>
</spi>
----
For MongoDB do the same, but for `connectionsMongo`:
When you start the server with this setting your database will automatically be migrated if the database schema has
changed in the new version.
To manually migrate the database set the `migrationStrategy` to `manual`. When you start the server with this
configuration it will check if the database needs migration. If changes are needed the required changes are written
to an SQL file that you can review and manually run against the database.
There's also the option to disable migration by setting the `migrationStrategy` to `validate`. With this configuration
the database will be checked at startup and if it is not migrated the server will exit.
====
Mongo doesn't have a schema, but there may still be things like collections and indexes that are added to new releases.
To enable automatic creation of these set the `migrationStrategy` property to `update` for the default `connectionsMongo`
provider:
[source]
----
"connectionsMongo": {
"default": {
<spi name="connectionsMongo">
<provider name="default" enabled="true">
<properties>
...
"databaseSchema": "update"
}
}
<property name="migrationStrategy" value="update"/>
</properties>
</provider>
</spi>
----
When you start the server with this setting your database will automatically be migrated if the database schema has changed in the new version.
The Mongo provider does not have the option to manually apply the required changes.
There's also the option to disable migration by setting the `migrationStrategy` to `validate`. With this configuration
the database will be checked at startup and if it is not migrated the server will exit.

=== Version specific migration
==== Migrating to 2.2.0
====== `databaseSchema` property deprecated
The `databaseSchema` property for both JPA and Mongo is now deprecated and has been replaced by `initializeEmpty`
and `migrationStrategy`. `initializeEmpty` can bet set to `true` or `false` and controls if an empty database should
be initialized. `migrationStrategy` can be set to `update`, `validate` and `manual`. `manual` is only supported for
relational databases and will write an SQL file with the required changes to the database schema.
==== Migrating to 2.0.0
====== Upgrading from 1.0.0.Final no longer supported
