Safe to downgrade to: a release before 10.11.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy mattermost-server || rpm -q mattermost-server || mattermost-server --version

2. UPGRADE to 10.11.15 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade mattermost-server

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade mattermost-server

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 10.11.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison mattermost-server sudo apt install mattermost-server=<VERSION_BEFORE_10.11.0> sudo apt-mark hold mattermost-server

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list mattermost-server sudo dnf downgrade mattermost-server-<VERSION_BEFORE_10.11.0> sudo dnf versionlock add mattermost-server

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
