Hi guys,

Just looking to see what’s the best way to upgrade from awx 18-19. It doesn’t seem to be clear from the documentation as it references a new install. Any help appreciated

any upgrade instruction would be definitely helpful, especially as not everyone is advanced in kubernetes !

In my minikube installation I just destroyed the current operator and followed the installation instruction.

In ended up almost successful, but the ( previous http) port of awx-service had changed and I had to update the nging configuration for reverse proxy
