Are we still on PHP 8.3?

The support matrix hasn’t been updated yet.

@suitecrm_team could you please update the compatibility matrix page? :smiley:

YeaY! I have the version 8.8.1 installed with docker compose a couple of months ago. Is there an easy way to just upgrade it?

Thanks

You should aim for 8.9.1


Follow this doc:

Hello Ben,

Unfortunately, there is not “internal Docker upgrade” for SuiteCRM.
In order to do a standard upgrade, you’d need CLI PHP, wget, tar etc.

The easiest way is to create a DB dump, extract the files and setup the CRM on a staging / test environment (a standard LAMP system - Ubuntu 24 LTS works well).
There, you’d do a standard upgrade.
With the upgraded system, you can now build a new Docker container for your new version.

It has the big advantage, that you’re not upgrading the live system directly and you always have a fallback / backup.
