Please follow the steps outlined in the [upgrade guide](https://headscale.net/stable/setup/upgrade/) to update your existing Headscale installation.
**It's best to update from one stable version to the next** (e.g., 0.24.0 → 0.25.1 → 0.26.1) in case you are multiple releases behind. You should always pick the latest available patch release.
Be sure to check the changelog above for version-specific upgrade instructions and breaking changes.
### Backup Your Database
**Always backup your database before upgrading.** Here's how to backup a SQLite database:
```bash
# Stop headscale
systemctl stop headscale
# Backup sqlite database
cp /var/lib/headscale/db.sqlite /var/lib/headscale/db.sqlite.backup
# Backup sqlite WAL/SHM files (if they exist)
cp /var/lib/headscale/db.sqlite-wal /var/lib/headscale/db.sqlite-wal.backup
cp /var/lib/headscale/db.sqlite-shm /var/lib/headscale/db.sqlite-shm.backup
# Start headscale (migration will run automatically)
systemctl start headscale
```
builds:
- id: headscale
main: ./cmd/headscale
