# Upgrading to Lucy 6.0

{% hint style="info" %}
Lucy 6.0 is currently available only to Early Adopters. To join the program, contact your account manager.
{% endhint %}

## VPS Customers

If we are hosting your Lucy server for you, [contact support](/contact-us.md) to request an upgrade to 6.0.

## On-Premise Customers

This guide walks you through migrating from Lucy 5.7.6 to Lucy 6.0. The migration is handled by a script — follow the steps below in order.

### Before you start

Make sure you have:

* A Docker-based deployment
  * Lucy 6.0 runs Ubuntu 24.04 in the container, but your host machine can run [any docker-compatible OS](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/).
  * If you deployed with a virtual machine image this script will not work for you - [download a fresh 6.0 image instead](/guides/installing-lucy.md).
* Lucy version 5.7.6
* At least 60% free storage space on the host

## Steps

### Stop all campaigns

{% hint style="warning" %}
The Lucy dashboard will be unavailable for the entire migration process. We recommend running this during a maintenance window or off-peak hours.
{% endhint %}

### Free up space

You'll need at least 60% free space in the container before backing up and migrating:

* Remove unedited templates
* Delete unneeded campaigns
* Delete old exports
* Clear the cache

### Create a snapshot of the host

The migration script will create a backup of the Lucy container, for safety you should create a snapshot of the entire host machine before you begin.

### Download the migration script

Run this on the host (not inside the container):

```bash
wget https://download.phishing-server.com/dl/upgrade_container6.sh
```

### Run the migration script

```bash
sudo bash upgrade_container6.sh
```

This can take several hours depending on how much data you have.

When prompted:

* **Autodetect Lucy container** → `YES`
* **System snapshot** → `YES`

### Update Lucy in the UI

Once the script finishes, [go to the Lucy UI to complete the update](/application-reference/support/update.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.lucysecurity.com/guides/installing-lucy/installing-lucy/upgrading-to-lucy-6.0.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
