RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install vim wget curl -y
RUN apt-get install certbot -y

What is the expected behavior?

I have this current version running OK, but every other version I try to upgrade Moodle (debian or not), the current version can't be upgraded.

What do you see instead?

Additional information

I tried to upgrade to 4.1.3, 4.1.2-debian-11-r16, and 4.2.0. But none of these versions worked properly with the same errors in the database upgrade step.

Are there any following path of versions to upgrade to the current version?

Did you follow the steps at https://github.com/bitnami/containers/tree/main/bitnami/moodle#upgrade-this-image for upgrading to a newer version?

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for. I already tried, but it says I need to upgrade PHP to a newer version (from 8.0.28 to 8.1.0). Since PHP is a custom installation:

root@630402e1a759:/# which php
/opt/bitnami/php/bin/php

Are there any specific steps or references I should consult?
