where can I find older versions of scylla? specifically 5.2.2. I’m trying to test the upgrade process to 6.1 and i’m currently running 5.2.2 Alternatively, maybe you could offer a better suggestion for testing the upgrade. Thanks! ---

It’s recommended that you upgrade sequentially, going through each major release. So, for example: 5.2.2 → 5.4 → 6.0 → 6.1 This path is the one that’s tested. To find and download older versions, you can look at the relevant version of the documentation: for example [here](https://opensource.docs.scylladb.com/branch-5.4/upgrade/upgrade-opensource/upgrade-guide-from-5.2-to-5.4/upgrade-guide-from-5.2-to-5.4-generic.html). When you download ScyllaDB you can specify the version (depends on which OS you use), for example with Docker you can see the versions [here](https://hub.docker.com/r/scylladb/scylla/tags).
