I wish there was an easy auto-update process for Stalwart. is anyone hosting an apt repo for it?

edit: we use it on very resource constrained environments, the container version is too much overhead.

isn't it a static binary? Can't you do it the old-school sysadmin way and pull down a binary from github releases and update a symbolic link?

They make breaking changes to settings (and possibly data stores, but I forget) between versions, so to go from, for example, x.y.1 to x.z.5 might involve doing migrations between x.y.2 through x.z.5 just to use the latest version.

This is not the case for all versions, but I've found it to be common enough that I have to read all of the release notes between point versions when upgrading.

It can definitely be improved.

There is a new section in the documentation discussing upgrades:

https://stalw.art/docs/install/upgrade/

The goal is to stabilize the database layout/configuration format very soon so v1.0.0 can be released (hopefully before Q1/Q2 2026).
