Description

Adds a documentation page describing the supported upgrade procedure for self-hosted DefectDojo Pro deployments that use the DefectDojo Pro Helm chart.

The page covers:

  • The Helm chart version, container image versions, and Pro settings files are released and tested together and must be upgraded together as one unit. Upgrading only image tags is not supported.
  • pro_settings.py ships with each release and changes with nearly every version. Copies must not be carried forward across upgrades or patched by hand.
  • Customizations belong in local_settings.py, not pro_settings.py.
  • The supported upgrade path: review the release notes for each version crossed, back up the database, then upgrade to the chart release matching the target application version using existing values files.

New file: docs/content/get_started/pro/onprem/upgrading.md, placed in the existing DefectDojo Pro (On-Premise) section with audience: pro so it appears in the Pro version of the sidebar only.

Test results

Docs-only change. Verified with a local Hugo build: the site builds without errors, the page renders at /get_started/pro/onprem/upgrading/, it appears in the Pro sidebar menu and not in the Open Source menu, and both internal links resolve.
