This is a placeholder to store information needed to upgrade LAVA to next version (2023.01).

Know major change:

• switching from xnbd-server to nbd-server

Before upgrade, some cleaning could help reduce the backup size:

LAVA has currently history up to 4 year, perhaps some part could be cleaned.

Cleaning old healthcheck:

lava-server manage jobs rm --submitter lava-health --older-than 30d

Cleaning old jobs:

lava-server manage jobs rm --submitter kernel-ci --older-than 700d

Compress jobs output:

lava-server manage jobs compress --older-than 1h

compressing jobs has no drawbacks

For preventing to forgot a manual change in configuration, a verification of content of /etc/lava-server will be necessary.

The upgrade path is:

• backup via backup.sh
• checkout lava-docker: branch agl-2023.01 (master + aglrefhw, pi4, rcar )
• copy old boards.yaml to boards.yaml   and backup to      lava-master/backup/
• Generate output via ./lavalab-gen.py
• build it in output/xxx/ via docker-compose build --no-cache
• docker-compose up
