Hello @564064202,

what installation do you use? Non-docker?

If yes:
https://rocket.chat/docs/installation/updating/

I would prefer that way:

• mongodump --out /opt/backups/rocketchatbackup
• mv /opt/Rocket.Chat/ /opt/backup
• systemctl stop rocketchat.service
• curl -L https://releases.rocket.chat/latest/download -o /tmp/rocket.chat.tgz
• tar -xzf /tmp/rocket.chat.tgz -C /tmp
• cd /tmp/bundle/programs/server && npm install
• sudo mv /tmp/bundle /opt/Rocket.Chat
• cd /opt/
• chown -R rocketchat:rocketchat Rocket.Chat/
• systemctl start rocketchat.service

That should do it.

Docker is much simplier but not needed I guess :)

Yours,
Mathias

I used the default install command ：_sudo snap install rocketchat-server_

@564064202 there is no package yet for version 3.

I just tried in on a fresh installed vagrant box on ubuntu 18.04.

You have to wait till it become available.

So you can close this ticket and just wait.

sudo snap refresh rocketchat-server --channel=3.x/stable --classic
Just did upgrade from 2.4.11 to 3.0.10 without problem.
Recommend to backup anyway.
