- Check the update notes to make sure this update won't require a new setup process
- Back up your
jjmumblebot.db

custom_aliases.csv
file if you have custom aliases registered - Back up your
custom_user_privileges.csv

custom_permissions.csv
file if you have custom permissions registered - (Optional) Back up any custom plugins
- (Optional) Back up any stored permanent media if it is stored in the root directory (this is customizable in the config.ini)
- Download the latest version of the bot and use your previous
config.ini, jjmumblebot.db, custom_permissions.csv, custom_user_privileges.csv, custom_aliases.csv
files (unless theconfig.ini
has changed) - Update custom plugins to work with any possible changes in the latest update
