🚀 Upgrade to OpenEverest 1.14.0

Because this release migrates the OpenEverest Helm chart from the percona repository to the community-driven openeverest repository, the upgrade process requires an additional one-time migration step.

Choose one of the following upgrade paths:

Using everestctl

Upgrade using the latest version of everestctl. The CLI handles the Helm chart migration automatically.

Make sure you are running the latest version of everestctl before starting the upgrade.

📖 See the Upgrade section for the full steps.

Using Helm directly

If you prefer to upgrade using Helm, follow these steps to migrate your existing releases from the percona Helm repository to the openeverest repository and upgrade them.

1. Add the new OpenEverest Helm repository and update your local cache:

   helm repo add openeverest https://openeverest.github.io/helm-charts/
   helm repo update

2. Upgrade the CRDs:

   helm upgrade --install everest-crds \
       openeverest/everest-crds \
       --namespace everest-system \
       --take-ownership

3. Upgrade each release to re-associate it with the new openeverest chart:

   Upgrade the core components release:

   helm upgrade everest-core openeverest/openeverest \
     --namespace everest-system \
     --reuse-values

   If you have one or more database namespace releases, upgrade each one:

   helm upgrade <RELEASE_NAME> openeverest/everest-db-namespace \
     --namespace <DB_NAMESPACE> \
     --reuse-values

   Replace <RELEASE_NAME> and <DB_NAMESPACE> with your actual release name and namespace. To list all your current releases, run helm list --all-namespaces.

4. (Optional) Remove the old Percona Helm repository:

   helm repo remove percona
