**Note**: If you ever intend to recover an AWX from an existing database you will need a copy of the secrets in order to perform a successful recovery.

### Upgrading

To upgrade AWX, it is recommended to upgrade the awx-operator to the version that maps to the desired version of AWX. To find the version of AWX that will be installed by the awx-operator by default, check the version specified in the `image_version` variable in `roles/installer/defaults/main.yml` for that particular release.

Apply the awx-operator.yml for that release to upgrade the operator, and in turn also upgrade your AWX deployment.

#### Backup

The first part of any upgrade should be a backup. Note, there are secrets in the pod which work in conjunction with the database. Having just a database backup without the required secrets will not be sufficient for recovering from an issue when upgrading to a new version. See the [backup role documentation](https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator/tree/devel/roles/backup) for information on how to backup your database and secrets.

In the event you need to recover the backup see the [restore role documentation](https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator/tree/devel/roles/restore). *Before Restoring from a backup*, be sure to:
* delete the old existing AWX CR
* delete the persistent volume claim (PVC) for the database from the old deployment, which has a name like `postgres-13-<deployment-name>-postgres-13-0`

**Note**: Do not delete the namespace/project, as that will delete the backup and the backup's PVC as well.


#### PostgreSQL Upgrade Considerations

If there is a PostgreSQL major version upgrade, after the data directory on the PVC is migrated to the new version, the old PVC is kept by default.
This provides the ability to roll back if needed, but can take up extra storage space in your cluster unnecessarily. You can configure it to be deleted automatically
after a successful upgrade by setting the following variable on the AWX spec.


```yaml
spec:
postgres_keep_pvc_after_upgrade: False
```
#### v0.14.0
##### Cluster-scope to Namespace-scope considerations
Starting with awx-operator 0.14.0, AWX can only be deployed in the namespace that the operator exists in. This is called a namespace-scoped operator. If you are upgrading from an earlier version, you will want to
delete your existing `awx-operator` service account, role and role binding.

##### Project is now based on v1.x of the operator-sdk project

Starting with awx-operator 0.14.0, the project is now based on operator-sdk 1.x. You may need to manually delete your old operator Deployment to avoid issues.

##### Steps to upgrade

Delete your old AWX Operator and existing `awx-operator` service account, role and role binding in `default` namespace first:

```
$ kubectl -n default delete deployment awx-operator
$ kubectl -n default delete serviceaccount awx-operator
$ kubectl -n default delete clusterrolebinding awx-operator
$ kubectl -n default delete clusterrole awx-operator
```

Then install the new AWX Operator by following the instructions in [Basic Install](#basic-install-on-existing-cluster). The `NAMESPACE` environment variable have to be the name of the namespace in which your old AWX instance resides.

Once the new AWX Operator is up and running, your AWX deployment will also be upgraded.

### Disable IPV6
Starting with AWX Operator release 0.24.0,[IPV6 was enabled in ngnix configuration](https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator/pull/950) which causes
upgrades and installs to fail in environments where IPv6 is not allowed. Starting in 1.1.1 release, you can set the `ipv6_disabled` flag on the AWX
