Bitnami Redmine Windows Installer Upgrade to 3.3.1 - redmine

Question

Most of the documentation examples are for Linux:
https://docs.bitnami.com/installer/apps/redmine/#how-to-upgrade-redmine
I would like to see one for the Windows Server variety. Trying to upgrade 3.2.2 to 3.3.1. Client wants to keep it on local Windows only. No cloud.

Bitnami Developer here. Thanks for your comment, we will update soon the documentation of bitnami to add more guides of windows.
I have been able to migrate to redmine 3.2.2 to 3.3.1, these are the steps you have to follow:
Go to the manager-windows (C:\Bitnami\redmine-3.2.2-0\manager-windows.exe) and stop all the services. Then start again mysql. You should have something like this:
manager-windows
Do a dump of your mysql database. You can use the use-redmine console to do this (C:\Bitnami\redmine-3.2.2-0\use_redmine.exe) and execute the following:
mysqldump -u root -p --databases bitnami_redmine > backup.sql
Save that backup and download the last version of redmine stack installer (3.3.1-0): Bitnami redmine installers
Install it in your machine and open the manager-windows (C:\Bitnami\redmine-3.3.1-0\manager-windows.exe). Stop all services and start again the mysql service to restore the backup.
Start the use_redmine console(C:\Bitnami\redmine-3.3.1-0\use_redmine.exe)
Execute the following in the use_redmine console:
mysql -u root -p
Password: ****
mysql> drop database bitnami_redmine;
mysql> create database bitnami_redmine;
mysql> grant all privileges on bitnami_redmine.* to 'bn_redmine'#'localhost' identified by 'DATABASE_PASSWORD';
Restore the new database:
`mysql -u root -p bitnami_redmine < /path/to/your/backup.sql`
Edit the Redmine configuration file to update the database user password (the same that you set previously) at
C:\Bitnami\redmine-3.3.1-0\apps\redmine\htdocs\config\database.yml:
production:
adapter: mysql2
database: bitnami_redmine
host: localhost
username: bn_redmine
password: "DATABASE_PASSWORD"
encoding: utf8
In the use_redmine console migrate the database to the latest version:
bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
After this, you should be able to start all the services again in the C:\Bitnami\redmine-3.3.1-0\manager-windows.exe and log in in the application as always.
