Keep Getting Notified About Update, No Obvious Documentation On How to Perform
I keep getting notified that there are updates, and it includes a link, however nothing anywhere documents my next steps....
I just ignore the emails for updates. I did that once and it was a PITA. It's best to just update the components with apt-get. I made a shell script for that and it's super easy that way. Something like this: sudo apt-get -y update sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade sudo apt-get -y autoremove
Its confusing how to upgrade the instance to latest version of the Bitnami. The link you provide talks about wordpress upgrade. How about the OS and entire bitnami stack?
Sorry to hear your experience did not go well. To upgrade the solution, you will need to migrate your data to a new instance with the latest version of NGINX, PHP and WordPress. There is an useful guide here: https://docs.bitnami.com/general/how-to/migrate-wordpress/. If you need additional support, we provide support from our engineers in our VMs repo (https://github.com/bitnami/vms/issues). Don't hesitate to ask there. Regards
