Despite the upgrade issue, additionally the ālegacy flagā is hovering over the Bitnami image. Probably be at least careful and conscious about the decision on whether or not to use this image (especially conscious for production).
Unfortunately, itās marketed as āso easyā, just spin it up and youāre all set.
Thatās only true for temporary testing. In the long run itās a rather bad choice and technically not very feasable.
If someone wants to build up SuiteCRM for the next 3 - 10 years as the backbone and brain of their business, Iād argue itās worth spending some more thoughts and hours on the initial install.
Did I get it wrong or the bitnami images from now on will have to be paid? Meaning you could still get a version of SuiteCRM from their Bitnami Secure Images initiativeā if you pay? And all older images are going legacy?
I didnāt look into this.
But even if that is possible, check how an upgrade, how customizations and how small file changes would work within the image.
I usually argue, that this is a one time thing.
Most customers install the CRM once, use it for a year or years and then look into the upgrade.
The installation here in the forums is just such a big topic, since there are so many different environments and everybody has to go through the installation before getting more quiet again in the forums.
The scripts to automatically install are not strictly required however going from being able to turn on a stack and have everything installed and up and running from pressing go to having to run all the steps manually will cause friction for those who use containers.
