+title = "Migrating from 0.8 to 0.9"
+weight = 14

+
+**This guide explains how to migrate to 0.9 if you have an existing 0.8 cluster.
+We don't recommend trying to migrate to 0.9 directly from 0.7 or older.**
+
+**We make no guarantee that this migration will work perfectly:
+back up all your data before attempting it!**
+
+The following are **breaking changes** in Garage v0.9 that require your attention when migrating:
+
+- LMDB is now the default metadata db engine and Sled is deprecated. If you were using Sled, make sure to specify `db_engine = "sled"` in your configuration file, or take the time to [convert your database](https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/documentation/reference-manual/configuration/#db-engine-since-v0-8-0).
+
+- Capacity values are now in actual byte units. The translation from the old layout will assign 1 capacity = 1Gb by default, which might be wrong for your cluster. This does not cause any data to be moved around, but you might want to re-assign correct capacity values post-migration.
+
+- Multipart uploads that were started in Garage v0.8 will not be visible in Garage v0.9 and will have to be restarted from scratch.
+
+- Changes to the admin API: some `v0/` endpoints have been replaced by `v1/` counterparts with updated/uniformized syntax. All other endpoints have also moved to `v1/` by default, without syntax changes, but are still available under `v0/` for compatibility.
+
+
+## Simple migration procedure (takes cluster offline for a while)
+
+The migration steps are as follows:
+
+1. Disable API and web access. You may do this by stopping your reverse proxy or by commenting out
+   the `api_bind_addr` values in your `config.toml` file.
+2. Do `garage repair --all-nodes --yes tables` and `garage repair --all-nodes --yes blocks`,
+   check the logs and check that all data seems to be synced correctly between
+   nodes. If you have time, do additional checks (`versions`, `block_refs`, etc.)
+3. Check that the block resync queue and Merkle queue are empty:
+   run `garage stats -a` to query them or inspect metrics in the Grafana dashboard.
+4. Turn off Garage v0.8
+5. **Backup the metadata folder of all your nodes!** For instance, use the following command
+	if your metadata directory is `/var/lib/garage/meta`: `cd /var/lib/garage ; tar -acf meta-v0.8.tar.zst meta/`
+6. Install Garage v0.9
+7. Update your configuration file if necessary.
+8. Turn on Garage v0.9
+9. Do `garage repair --all-nodes --yes tables` and `garage repair --all-nodes --yes blocks`.
+   Wait for a full table sync to run.
+10. Your upgraded cluster should be in a working state. Re-enable API and Web
+    access and check that everything went well.
+11. Monitor your cluster in the next hours to see if it works well under your production load, report any issue.
+12. You might want to assign correct capacity values to all your nodes. Doing so might cause data to be moved
+    in your cluster, which should also be monitored carefully.
+
+## Minimal downtime migration procedure
+
+The migration to Garage v0.9 can be done with almost no downtime,
+by restarting all nodes at once in the new version.
+
+The migration steps are as follows:
+
+1. Do `garage repair --all-nodes --yes tables` and `garage repair --all-nodes --yes blocks`,
+   check the logs and check that all data seems to be synced correctly between
+   nodes. If you have time, do additional checks (`versions`, `block_refs`, etc.)
+
+2. Turn off each node individually; back up its metadata folder (see above); turn it back on again.
+   This will allow you to take a backup of all nodes without impacting global cluster availability.
+   You can do all nodes of a single zone at once as this does not impact the availability of Garage.
+
+3. Prepare your binaries and configuration files for Garage v0.9
+
+4. Shut down all v087 nodes simultaneously, and restart them all simultaneously in v0.9.
+   Use your favorite deployment tool (Ansible, Kubernetes, Nomad) to achieve this as fast as possible.
+
+5. Proceed with steps 9-12 above.
