Database conversion to latest Domoticz version

Hallo,

I am Andreas and using the Domoticz version 1.0.10. on a Raspberry Pi since a long time without any problems. To update the system I would like to install now the newest version of Domoticz.

My question is:
Is it possible to convert the old database including my settings and all information about switches, blinds,... to the database of the latest Domoticz version or did I have to input all old information manually.

Thank you for your support
Andreas

Thank you for your quick reply.

The old version has no update function in the menu, so I have to install the new version but copying the old database (domoticz.db) to the new version does not show any settings.

The database will be automatically converted to the latest
But make sure you make a complete backup of the domoticz folder so you can always go back

Please let me know how I can update this old version because the command ./updaterelease does not work.

Thank you for your help.

Sorry but this fails. It seems that it overwrites the database and when the program starts it will only show the setup menu.
