1. Stop the services
systemctl stop rabbitmq-server.service systemctl stop epmd.service
2. Backup your database just in case:
cp -rp /var/lib/rabbitmq /var/lib/rabbitmq-backup
3a. Set `HOST` shell variable to your host name and upgrade the database:
docker run -it --rm -v /var/lib/rabbitmq:/var/lib/rabbitmq \
--name rb --hostname $HOST \
--volume="/etc/group:/etc/group:ro" \
--volume="/etc/passwd:/etc/passwd:ro" \
--volume="/etc/shadow:/etc/shadow:ro" \
docker.io/library/rabbitmq:3.9
3b. In another shell:
docker exec -it -u $(id -u rabbitmq) rb rabbitmqctl enable_feature_flag all docker exec -it rb sync docker stop rb
Repeat step 3 again 2 more times with rabbitmq version `3.10` and `3.11`.
4. Uninstall (DO NOT purge) rabbitmq-server:
apt uninstall rabbitmq-server
5. Now you can run normal do-release-upgrade and reinstall rabbitmq-server after upgrading.
