Upgrading

Local Racks

• To retain your local Apps when moving to the new local Rack, you should export them all first. This will create a local archive of all pertinent data for each app you export.
• Uninstall your old local rack: convox rack uninstall local. This should be performed with your existing CLI before upgrading that.
• Deprecate your existing CLI version: sudo mv /usr/local/bin/convox /usr/local/bin/convox-old
• Install the new CLI
• Install a new local Rack
• Create and then Import your Apps from your previous export archives.
