Hi @xet7, I went ahead and followed your guide for the manual upgrade procedure from WeKan-Snap Stable v6.09 to Candidate 6.62. It seems like it was a great success!

Before the upgrade:

Ubuntu v20.04.5 LTS GNU/Linux 5.4.0-135-generic
WeKan v6.09.0
Meteor v2.2
Node v12.22.10
MongoDB v3.2.22

After the upgrade:

WeKan v6.62.0
Meteor v2.9.0
Node v14.21.2
MongoDB v5.0.14

For us, we use WeKan heavily for IT projects, tasks, and long-term strategy. I also use it for facilitating our ERP migration project, and our Accounting & HR teams also use it, although not as much as I think they should! That being said our /var/snap/wekan/common directory is only 403MB.

Some notes maybe specific to our case when following your upgrade instructions:

Since we're on v20 LTS, we just had to get the appropriate mongodb-tools for our instance. However, when we went to run dpkg on the .deb, it kept whining about an error trying to overwrite bsondump:

$ sudo dpkg -i mongodb-database-tools-ubuntu2004-x86_64-100.6.1.deb
(Reading database ... 108998 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack mongodb-database-tools-ubuntu2004-x86_64-100.6.1.deb ...
Unpacking mongodb-database-tools (100.6.1) ...
dpkg: error processing archive mongodb-database-tools-ubuntu2004-x86_64-100.6.1.deb (--install):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/bsondump', which is also in package mongo-tools 3.6.3-0ubuntu1
dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 mongodb-database-tools-ubuntu2004-x86_64-100.6.1.deb

Once I looked up that this is just a diagnostic tool, I just went ahead and forced it:
$ sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite mongodb-database-tools-ubuntu2004-x86_64-100.6.1.deb
Which that executed smoothly. I was kinda confused why at this point you asked to run sudo apt -f install as I ensured my system was totally up-to-date prior to taking a VM snapshot and proceeding with your upgrade steps! I would hope most people would default to this.

The only other thing I was confused on was your step right after the sudo cp common/Caddyfile /var/snap/wekan/common/, you just have ./snap-settings.sh, so I presumed you wanted that copied over to common as well, which I did:
$ sudo cp snap-settings.sh /var/snap/wekan/common/

Started up and logged into WeKan and everything seems to work great! Exactly as we left it. All our attachments seem intact as well, which is mostly just PDFs and PNGs. So I hope this is big success for you!!! I did notice the Activities feed seems to spam attachment deletions, however from my spot-checking they all still seem to present on those cards:

For cleanup, I should be good to delete the common, dump, and snap folders from my home directory right?

Moreover, some features we were excited about and looking forward to, wondering if they are working in v6.62?

Input text/formatting when creating a card description or comment is not lost when accidentally clicking off the card. We did test this and it seems clicking off the card still erases any input you had prior. I thought from #4619 a solution was implemented?
Email notifications for Mentions, #3529 dunno if current version has any improvements to this?
Linking to a card, from another card. Clicking on that linked card just highlights/opens it instead of opening a new browser tab. Is this the Parent Card functionality now? I don't recall seeing that previously. Thought I saw someone asking about this but couldn't find any related Issues/FRs.

2 new small bugs I noticed:

opening a card on the far-right edge of the board doesn't automatically scroll your browser page view to see that card it as it did in v6.09.
clicking on a linked card in the Activities feed dims the page but does not show the card if the Activities menu is over-top that card. Since our 'Completed' column list is on the far-right, no cards in that list open when clicked on their associated activity.

Do let me know if there's anything else I can do to help or test for you!!! Thanks very much!!!

Uh oh!
