If you were on 3.3.12 you’d need to upgrade to Xibo 4.0 first to upgrade MySQL to version 8.0 and then on to 4.4 which uses MySQL 8.4.

> If you’re upgrading from an earlier version to 2.3.10, the version of MySQL bundled changes from 5.6 to 5.7 as 5.6 is now end of life. You will therefore need to do some extra work to handle the MySQL 5.6-5.7 migration. We will shortly update the official documentation to cover this, but in the interim, please use the following process. In all the steps below, please add the -f cms\_custom-ports.yml flag as normal if you are using those templates instead of the standard files (eg docker-compose…
