Zentyal Upgrade from 7.1 to 8.0

This article provides step-by-step instructions for upgrading Zentyal from version 7.1 to 8.0. The upgrade will also automatically upgrade the underlying OS from Ubuntu 20.04 to Ubuntu 22.04. Note: Zentyal 7.0 and 7.1 are based on Ubuntu 20.04, while Zentyal 8.0 is based on Ubuntu 22.04.

Prerequisites

  • Ensure you have taken a VM snapshot from vCenter before starting the upgrade.
  • Ensure internet connectivity is working properly.
  • Perform the upgrade during a maintenance window as it can take around 1 hour.

Step 1: Update Packages

Run the following commands to ensure your system is up to date before the upgrade: 

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y

Step 2: Check NTP Synchronization

Verify the time synchronization status: 

timedatectl

Step 3: Start the Upgrade from Web UI

1. Login to the Zentyal Web Admin Dashboard. 2. You will see an option to upgrade to the latest version (8.0). 3. Click on the upgrade button and confirm the action. 4. The process will take approximately 1 hour, depending on internet speed and system performance.

Step 4: Post-Upgrade Actions

After the upgrade completes, the web interface may not load immediately in the browser. Restart the Zentyal service to fix this: 

sudo systemctl restart zentyal.service

Conclusion

Upgrading Zentyal from 7.1 to 8.0 is straightforward if prerequisites are met. By ensuring package updates, checking NTP status, and following the Web UI upgrade process, administrators can smoothly transition to the latest Zentyal version with the updated Ubuntu 22.04 LTS base, gaining performance, security, and feature enhancements.
