How to upgrade XPRESSO to v20.12

Steps to upgrade:

1. Go to xpresso base directory and remember your DB password in env/database.env
2. git pull
3. After git pull, use the old DB password everywhere else
4. Make sure xpresso_admin password is the same across all these files
   • env/databases.env
   • initializers/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/1-user.sql
   • initializers/settings.yml
   • etc/mgmt_settings.py
5. Run script to upgrade database and migrate data

./migrate202012.sh

• After Xpresso is up, if you update configurations or change any settings at initializers/settings.yml, you need to update docker-compose.yml under management service and set FORCE_UPDATE: 'True' and restart the management service docker-compose restart management, in order to reflect the changes.
