| === LINUX SERVER UPGRADE PROCEDURE === | === LINUX SERVER MIGRATION PROCEDURE === |
| The following procedure will update your Blocks server to Blocks version 8, including all required components. The procedure assumes you're running a server based on our Linux server image version 251113, as indicated by a file named "server-version" in /home/pixi-server. It may work on older versions of our server image running Java version 11, but that has not been tested, so make sure you have adequate backups in case something goes wrong. | The following procedure will update your Blocks server to Blocks version 8, including all required components.

| The update script doesn't touch your Blocks root directory, but once you start running Blocks 8, this may affect files therein. So you're strongly advised to back up before proceeding. | The update script doesn't touch your Blocks root directory, but once you start running Blocks 8, this may affect files therein.

| **IMPORTANT**: Blocks 8 works with old user scripts and rivers you may have on your server. As long as you don't need to install or update any drivers or scripts, you're OK. However, Blocks 8 has a new script format that is required in order to use new features. If you need to install newer scripts/drivers, you //must update all// existing script files to the new format, since you can't mix old and new formats. The latest script files are available at https://github.com/pixilab/blocks-script. Contact support@pixilab.se if you need assistance. | **IMPORTANT**: Blocks 8 works with old user scripts and drivers you may have on your server.
