DB migrations	New ENV vars	Admin guide changes	Suggest cache clearing

Upgrade Instructions

For Docker

1. Get the official image or checkout the code and build it locally
2. Stop all containers docker compose down
3. Start all containers docker compose up -d

For Bare Metal

1. Stop all messenger processes by running supervisorctl stop messenger:* as the root user
2. Login as the mbin/kbin user: su mbin
3. Go to your repo cd /var/www/mbin
4. Get the new release: git fetch && git checkout v1.6.0
5. Run the update script: bash bin/post-upgrade.sh. If you get an error when running the db migrations you maybe have to stop your webserver, so nothing is trying to access the database.
6. Run exit so we are back at the root user (or put a sudo infront of every command)
7. flush your redis db by running redis-cli, type in AUTH [YOUR PASSWORD] and then FLUSHDB
8. clear your opcache by reloading php fpm systemctl reload php8.2-fpm
9. Refresh supervisor and start the new messenger group: supervisorctl reread && supervisorctl && sudo supervisorctl start messenger:*
