Hi @indranilkamulkar,

Could you please tell us from which crowdsec version you tried to upgrade ?  
For information, upgrading from v0.3X to v1.X doesn’t work with `wizard.sh`, you need to do a migration as explained in [v1 documentation](https://wip-lapi.d1to60jd2gb6y6.amplifyapp.com/Crowdsec/v1/migration/) (this documentation will soon be pushed in official doc).

Hi, do you plan to have repo (debian in my case) to be able to install / upgrade crowdsec with system command (apt) ?  
Last time I upgraded cs-custom-blocker I had to reconfig the database connection.

Maybe this will be more stable after 1.0 release ?

Hello @Sich

Yes, the crowdsec package for debian is currently in our roadmap.  
For bouncers, we didn’t start the packaging for them, but we are currently adding an `upgrade.sh` scripts so you will be able to upgrade your bouncer without loosing data.

upgrade.sh that we can run with some cron is fine for me.  
As long as that don’t break config and that I don’t have to recheck all servers each time crowdsec get updated 🙂

</div>

We are sorry but you will not be able to use the `upgrade.sh` scripts in a cron for the moment 😕  
You will have to download the latest release of the bouncer, and run the `upgrade.sh` script to install the new bouncer binary.

We are currently focus on packaging crowdsec itself, bouncers will come next, stay tuned 🙂

The `upgrade.sh` script is available from [cs-firewall-bouncer v0.0.4](https://github.com/crowdsecurity/cs-firewall-bouncer/releases/tag/v0.0.4) and [cs-custom-bouncer v0.0.4](https://github.com/crowdsecurity/cs-custom-bouncer/releases/tag/v0.0.4) 🙂

_Note: Those bouncers must be used with crowdsec v1.X_
