Upgrading

This section summarizes steps required when upgrading to newer Knot Resolver versions. We advise users to also read Release notes for respective versions.

5.x to 6.x

See the detailed guide for upgrading to version 6.x.

Upgrading incompatible configuration changes

All configuration changes should be listed in NEWS. This allows you to see the differences between the original version and the new version and adjust the configuration accordingly. Alternatively, you can use kresctl utility to migrate your old configuration to the new one automatically. Please backup your configuration just in case.

# the migrated configuration will be printed
# or you can choose the destination file where the new configuration will be saved
$ kresctl migrate /etc/knot-resolver/config.yaml     # /etc/knot-resolver/config.new.yaml
