Upgrading Strongbox

We try to test everything as through as possible. However Strongbox is still under development and sometimes things could go wrong. This is why

Danger

YOU SHOULD ALWAYS CREATE A BACKUP OF YOUR STRONGBOX_VAULT and STRONGBOX_HOME DIRECTORIES BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH AN UPGRADE!

Steps to upgrade

1. Download the latest strongbox distribution version
2. Stop any running instance of Strongbox
3. Unzip strongbox-distribution.tar.gz in STRONGBOX_HOME
   (but be sure to backup your etc directory before that!)
4. Start strongbox as normal
5. If there are database changes - they will be applied automatically.
   DO NOT STOP Strongbox while the database is being upgraded - this could lead to a broken database!
6. Hopefully everything is up and running.

In case an issue occurred - please report it in our issue tracker.
