Upgrading Directus

When upgrading Directus, it is important to update the configurations pulled by directus-sync. Here is a general guide to upgrading Directus using directus-sync:

1. Run Directus on Version A: Start with your current Directus setup that is actively running on version A.
2. Push Configuration (if needed): Use npx directus-sync push to push the latest configurations to your Directus instance. This step ensures that all your current settings are up-to-date on the server.
3. Stop the Directus Server: Shut down your Directus server to prepare for the upgrade.
4. Update to Version B: Change the Directus version to B in your configuration files or update scripts (e.g., package.json, docker-compose.yml or Dockerfile).
5. Restart and Migrate: Start the Directus server to initiate the upgrade. Directus will automatically run migration scripts necessary to update the database and apply new system configurations.
6. Pull New Configuration: Once Directus is stable on version B, execute npx directus-sync pull to download the latest configuration snapshot. This action captures any changes or migrations that occurred during the upgrade from version A to B.
