==================
Upgrading Warewulf
==================
New versions of Warewulf might introduce changes to ``warewulf.conf`` and
``nodes.conf``. The ``wwctl upgrade`` command can help ease the transition
between versions.
.. note::
``wwctl upgrade`` will back up any files before it changes them (to
``<name>-old``) but it is good practice to back up your configuration
manually.
.. code-block:: console
# wwctl upgrade config
# wwctl upgrade nodes --add-defaults --replace-overlays
Both upgrade commands support specifying ``--output-path=-`` to print the
upgraded configuration file to standard out for inspection before replacing the
configuration files.
