Upgrade iRedMail Enterprise Edition

iRedMail Enterprise Edition is a single binary program, upgrading is simple:

Download the latest version from our website.
Stop the service.
Replace the program file and set correct owner / group / permission.
Start the service.
Login as global admin and click the Upgrade button. It handles all required changes like updating config files, applying SQL structure changes, etc.

That's all.

Let's take Linux and amd64 architecture for example, run commands below as root user:

wget -O /tmp/iredmail https://dl.iredmail.org/ee/iredmail-enterprise-latest-linux-amd64
chown root /tmp/iredmail
chmod 0500 /tmp/iredmail
service iredmail stop
mv /tmp/iredmail /usr/local/bin/iredmail
service iredmail start

After upgraded binary, login to the web UI as global admin. If there's some update for deployed software like Postfix, Dovecot, Nginx, etc, it will show a banner with Upgrade button, click it to finish the upgrade.

Since EE v1.7.2, if a later version contains security fixes, it will show you additional warning message like below:
