A reinstall is required. +As all our jails save their data in persistent storage, it would not have any side effects to just reinstall all your jails. +You can still use jailman.sh -d $jail or jailman.sh -r $jail to remove or reinstall the old jails. + +However, please always make sure you create a snapshot before doing any possible destructive operations! + +#### Persistence warning on Organizr +Due to bad design choices from the organizr team, we can't be 100% sure our current setup is persistent. +While we do our best, we currently can't give guarantees about it + +### Different reinstall detection. +With v1.3.0 we simplyfied reinstall detection. +If a install finishes alright, it now adds a file called "INSTALLED" to the persistent config directory (by default: /apps/$jailname). As long as this file is present it will allways try to reinstall. +As your current persistent config directories do not contain this file, all reinstalls will fail. +You can easily fix this by manually add a filled named `INSTALLED` to all the persistent config directories. + +### SSL +With v1.3.0 we centralised all SSL to a traefik proxy. Traefik is a great utility to keep track of all SSL certificates and guarantees a more solid experience. +This also means we do **NOT** offer any SSL-setup ourselves anymore, but in return we fully integrated traefik into the config.yml file... so you can generate your certificates even faster than before. + +We have a limited amount of developers and by using traefik, we can focus on things that mater: Stability and functionality, instead of working custom SSL config for every jail.
