Environment: AWS EC2 Linux (Red Hat 4.8.5-11)
Current git version 2.13.6
Upgrade to 4.8.1
Reason is security
Why not 5.0? Potential POF and Bitbucket service is used a lot.
Hi Lucas, welcome to the Community!
Then, you can find all steps to upgrade Stash to the latest Bitbucket version at Bitbucket Server upgrade guide.
If you made any changes to <Bitbucket Server installation directory>/conf/server.xml
(for instance to secure your server with SSL):
<BITBUCKET_HOME>
directory, make a new directory called shared
.<BITBUCKET_HOME>/shared/. Ensure the copied file is readable by the user account that runs Bitbucket Server. For more info, please read
Install Bitbucket Server from an archive file.Don’t forget to have a look into the Supported Platform Documentation before you follow to the upgrading process to avoid any incompatibility.
We also recommend you to try to upgrade your system in a staging environment first to avoid outages. Make sure you have a backup from your Stash and the database.
Keep in mind that upgrading from Stash to Bitbucket Server will disable all user-installed add-ons, whether they are 3rd-party add-ons from Atlassian Marketplace, or your own custom add-ons. User-installed add-ons will need to be checked, upgraded and enabled again once you've finished the upgrade process. You can check the marketplace listing for 3rd-party add-ons to determine if there is a release that is compatible with the newest Bitbucket Server. If they haven't been updated, they won't work. Same goes for custom add-ons. See the documentation on how to update your add-on for details.
Hope that helps!

Hi Lucas,
Further to Ana's steps, I'd like to point out that Bitbucket Server 4.8 has already reached end-of-life status (see https://confluence.atlassian.com/support/atlassian-support-end-of-life-policy-201851003.html), so you will not be able to receive support from us in case you experience issues with Bitbucket Server 4.8.
Cheers,
