Keywords: PhpBB - Google Cloud Platform - Technical issue - Upgrade
Description:
I am using phpBB, and
I have modified the html and php pages in the phpBB.

I need to know the following things:
1. What happens when Bitnami track the release of phpBB and updates its stack?
2. Will I loose my modification made to the phpBB html and php files.
3. Will I have a choice to select the updated phpBB or use my modified version.

Reason for this question:
My design and logic depends on php and html.
If bitnami automatically updates and changes the php and html files = then my object will fail..

Please answer.

Hi,

Our system detects the new version, automatically our pipeline works to package, compile, test, etc the new version, if everything works fine, the release is launched and published in the cloud providers. If it is a new version with a lot of changes or the automatic process fails, we work on it manually according to different priorities and SLA. This process publish new versions, but current stacks are not affected.

Bitnami stacks don't include any auto-update tool, so your stack is a "closed system". You need to upgrade it manually or launch an instance with the new version and after that migrate your current data to the new one. So you can rest assured that your stack will not update automatically.

Best regards,
Carlos R. Hernández
