Hi Community,

i tried to update cockpit today by following the [instructions from the documentation](https://getcockpit.com/documentation/getting-started/installation).

> **Upgrading to a newer version of Cockpit**  
> Download and unzip your desired version of Cockpit  
> Override the whole cockpit directory except the config and the storage folder.  
> That’s it!

Well, that wasn’t quite it 😉. I could not login afterwards. After resetting the password it worked again. But all my content was lost and all the routes unreachable.  
I did a site backup before so i tried to import it. But i found no option for that.  
So i did a complete rollback and am now back to version 0.13.0 again.

As i could not find any release notes or changelogs on GitHub, i´m stuck here.  
Is there any documentation on this i might have missed?  
If not, how can i do the update and keep/reimport my data?

Best, Roman.

Hi Roman,

unfortunately 0.13.0 is the old legacy version and you’re not able to auto-update it to Cockpit Next.

I would try to recreate the collection model in 0.5 and export the entries in 0.13 as json. then try to re-import them with the collection import tool `/collections/import/collection/{collectionname}`
