+# Upgrading to OpenCloud 7.0.x
+
+This guide explains how to upgrade an existing OpenCloud deployment to the 7.0.x release.
+It includes all required migration steps, configuration changes, and search index updates introduced in this release.
+
+The upgrade applies to deployments using:
+
+- Docker Compose
+- Docker Named Volumes
+- Bind Mounts
+
+Following this guide ensures a safe migration to OpenCloud 7.0.x.
+
+## Before starting the upgrade
+
+- Ensure you have OpenCloud 4.0.7 installed
+- Create a complete backup of your configuration and data.
+- Ensure you have access to your current opencloud.yaml.
+- Verify that your current deployment is healthy before upgrading.
+
+## Backup Config and Data
+
+:::important
+Always create a backup before upgrading to prevent data loss.
+:::
+
+- Using Bind Mounts
+
+<Tabs> <TabItem value="bind-mounts" label="Using Bind Mounts">
+If your config and data are stored in host directories (bind mounts), create a direct copy of these folders.
+
+- Example (adjust paths to match your setup)
+
+```bash
+cp -a /mnt/opencloud/config /mnt/opencloud/config-backup
+cp -a /mnt/opencloud/data /mnt/opencloud/data-backup
+```
+
+</TabItem>
+
+<TabItem value="named-volumes" label="Using Named Volumes">
+
+- Using Docker Named Volumes
+- Create Backup Directory
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p ~/opencloud-backups
+```
+
+- Backup Config and Data
+
+```bash
+docker cp opencloud_full-opencloud-1:/var/lib/opencloud ~/opencloud-backups/data-backup
+docker cp opencloud_full-opencloud-1:/etc/opencloud ~/opencloud-backups/config-backup
+```
+
+- Pull the latest OpenCloud Compose
+
+If you are using Docker Compose with the `opencloud-compose` repository, update your local checkout before pulling the new container image:
+
+```bash
+cd /opencloud-compose
+git pull
+```
+
+Skip this step if you run OpenCloud with plain Docker (`docker run`).
+
+</TabItem>
+
+</Tabs>
+
+- Stop OpenCloud
+
+First, gracefully stop your currently running OpenCloud instance:
+
+<Tabs>
+
+<TabItem value="docker" label="docker">
+
+```bash
+docker stop opencloud
+```
+
+</TabItem>
+
+<TabItem value="docker compose" label="docker compose">
+
+```bash
+docker compose stop
+```
+
+</TabItem>
+
+</Tabs>
+
+## Configuration Migration Breaking Change
+
+OpenCloud 7.0.x introduces a breaking configuration change.
+
+Reference: [Migration PR](https://github.com/opencloud-eu/opencloud/pull/2760)
+
+- Verify Configuration Changes
+
+- Go inside the opencloud container.
+
+- Using Bind Mounts
+
+- Replace **your-home-directory** with your actual directory.
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm -it --entrypoint /bin/sh -v "your-home-directory-path":/etc/opencloud opencloudeu/opencloud:7.0.x
+```
+
+- Using Docker Named Volumes
+
+- Replace **your-named-volume** with your actual volume name.
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm -it --entrypoint /bin/sh -v "your-named-volume-path":/etc/opencloud opencloudeu/opencloud:7.0.x
+```
+
+- Generate the Configuration Diff
+  - Inside the container run:
+
+  ```bash
+  opencloud init --diff
+  ```
+
+  - Example output:
+
+  ```bash
+  diff -u /etc/opencloud/opencloud.yaml /etc/opencloud/opencloud.yaml.tmp
+  --- /etc/opencloud/opencloud.yaml
+  +++ /etc/opencloud/opencloud.yaml.tmp

+
+- A patch file will automatically be created:
+
+```bash
+/etc/opencloud/opencloud.config.patch
+```
+
+- Apply the Configuration Patch
+  - Go to the configuration directory:
+
+  ```bash cd /etc/opencloud
+
+  ```
+
+  - Verify the generated files:
+
+  Example:
+
+  ```bash
+  ls
+  banned-password-list.txt
+  csp.yaml
+  opencloud.config.patch
+  opencloud.yaml
+  opencloud.yaml.2026-05-19-15-45-44.backup
+  ```
+
+- Testing the patch:
+  - Run the following command:
+
+  ```bash
+  patch --dry-run opencloud.yaml < opencloud.config.patch
+  ```
+
+  - Expecting output:
+
+  ```bash
+  checking file opencloud.yaml
+  ```
+
+- Apply the patch:
+  - Run the following command:
+
+  ```bash
+  patch opencloud.yaml < opencloud.config.patch
+  ```
+
+  - Expected output:
+
+  ```bash
+  patching file opencloud.yaml
+  ```
+
+## The following configuration entries must exist in opencloud.yaml
+
+```bash
+service_account:
+service_account_id: 62b789c9-0dd0-4647-afd3-d6969eab03b8
+service_account_secret: wAiwglE93^S-y3hm0bo5FS9sFj^rzQ&i

+
+## Web Breaking Changes
+
+OpenCloud Web also includes breaking changes in this release.
+
+Review the official OpenCloud 7.0.x release notes carefully:
+
+- Verification

+## Updating Web Extensions for OpenCloud 7.0.x
+
+OpenCloud 7.0.x introduces breaking changes in the web client architecture.
+Because of these changes, older web extension versions are no longer compatible with OpenCloud 7.0.x and must be updated.
+
+New extension versions are available in the App Store inside the OpenCloud UI or on [GitHub](https://github.com/opencloud-eu/web-extensions/releases). To update your extensions, download their latest version and follow the [app installation guide](../../configuration/web-applications.md).
