I am new to JFrog and I have been assigned a task to upgrade JFrog Artifactory pro from 5.4.5 to latest available i.e. 6.17. Currently, it is installed using a zip file on a Linux server and using the default Derby database.

What is the best approach I can take?

  1. Can I directly upgrade from my existing version to the latest or do I have to upgrade to some interim version and then upgrade to the latest?
  2. Since I also have to migrate existing Artifactory to a new server(VM). Can I directly install the latest 6.17 version of Artifactory and restore the data from old server?
  3. Should I first migrate existing artifactory to the new server and then migrate?
