What are steps to upgrade Mender from 2.0.0b1 to 2.0.0 release?  
I see “Upgrading” topic on docs but I think it is related to upgrade from 1.7 to 2.0.

Thank you

Was discussed in another thread today,

> I added the following to the local.conf to enable the Mender 2.0.0 beta, after I upgraded from Mender 1.7.0.

I have seen in the blog post that, the Mender 2.0 will not come by default. What else I need to change if I already using Mender 2.0 beta and want to use Mender 2.0 producti…

Dear @mirzak,

the post you linked is a discussion about how to upgrade server from 1.7 to 2.0.  
I have already 2.0b1 and want to upgrade to 2.0 release.

Thank you

It was actually Mender client but not server. I’m running Mender 2.0 beta client and asked for how to change the client to Mender 2.0 production one.

The steps are actually same as that of 2.0 beta for the client except, updating the meta-mender branch. You have to update the meta-mender branch to get the mender 2.0 production version.

We do not have any specific instructions on how to update server 2.0b1 to 2.0, but the mentioned section in our docs should be applicable.

[https://docs.mender.io/2.0/administration/upgrading](https://docs.mender.io/2.0/administration/upgrading)

Also for future, I would not recommend installing beta releases in a production environment
