On a non-systemd system, oragono can be configured to log to a file and used [logrotate(8)](https://linux.die.net/man/8/logrotate), since it will reopen its log files (as well as rehashing the config file) upon receiving a SIGHUP.
## Upgrading to a new version of Oragono
As long as you are using official releases or release candidates of Oragono, any backwards-incompatible changes should be described in the changelog.
The database has schema versioning; upgrades that involve incompatible changes to the database require schema changes. If you have `datastore.autoupgrade` enabled in your config, any schema changes will be automatically applied the first time you restart your server on the new version. Otherwise, you can apply upgrades manually:
1. Stop your server
1. Make a backup of your database file
1. Run `oragono upgradedb` (from the same working directory and with the same arguments that you would use when running `oragono run`)
1. Start the server again
If you want to run our master branch as opposed to our releases, come find us in #oragono and we can guide you around any potential pitfalls.
