Problem:
We are currently using TheForeman 1.14.3 with Katello 3.3.2 which is not really up-to-date.
I gathered some experience using the tool but I am not quite sure how to securely update it.
I don’t know if there are any intermediate steps are necessary.
Expected outcome:
A successful upgrade from the current version to the latest stable one.
I’d like to ask for some help here because I don’t want to just try and stumble upon errors because we have quite important servers behind it.
