I am currently running a local 1.35.0 node for the sole purpose of using cardano-db-sync. I’m running db-sync 12.0.2.
I have upgraded my node and db-sync in the past, but it seems I always struggle finding the right documentation for this purpose. I usually get through it, but I tend make a mess before I get everything straightened out. I have been using nix for the installation.
Is there some upgrade instructions for someone like myself who is not a stake pool operator?
Unfortunately I am not familiar with Nix, but one option would be to backup your required configuration files and perform a new installation of both cardano-node & db-sync:
Backup your configuration files
Remove current installation (cardano-node & db-sync)
Perform a new installation
Restore the backup
Note: You can also backup node’s db to save some time with sync.
Yea that’s pretty much what I have done in the past. I usually clone my drive first and then try to reinstall everything. I was just hoping there was a better way.
