## :arrow_up: Before upgrading

:::caution

Please follow this **before the upgrade procedure**.

:::

### File based stream configuration

The stream configuration moved from the database to the [configuration](../admin-manual/configuration.md#stream) file. A configuration sample can be found in the project folder under `installer/config.yml`. Make sure to save your existing stream config to the configuration file.

:::info

To prevent accidental data loss during upgrade, the stream configuration data will only be removed from the database in future releases. You can view the data using the following commands:

```bash
sudo -u libretime libretime-api dbshell --command="
    SELECT *
    FROM cc_stream_setting
    ORDER BY keyname;"

sudo -u libretime libretime-api dbshell --command="
    SELECT *
    FROM cc_pref
    WHERE keystr IN (
        'default_icecast_password',
        'default_stream_mount_point',
        'live_dj_connection_url_override',
        'live_dj_source_connection_url',
        'master_dj_connection_url_override',
        'master_dj_source_connection_url'
    )
    ORDER BY keystr;"
```

:::

### Timezone configuration

The timezone preference moved from the database to the [configuration](../admin-manual/configuration.md#general) file. Make sure to save your existing timezone preference to the configuration file.

:::info

To prevent accidental data loss during upgrade, the timezone preference will only be removed from the database in future releases. You can view the data using the following commands:

```bash
sudo -u libretime libretime-api dbshell --command="SELECT * FROM cc_pref WHERE keystr = 'timezone'";
```

:::

### Worker python package and service

The `libretime-celery` python package and service was renamed to `libretime-worker`. Make sure to remove the old python package and service using the following command:

```bash
sudo pip3 uninstall libretime-celery

sudo rm -f \
    /etc/systemd/system/libretime-celery.service \
    /usr/lib/systemd/system/libretime-celery.service
```
