#### **Question: How can I upgrade from an existing Docker SWAG deployment to using Docker SWAG integrated with open-appsec?**

Keeping your existing Docker SWAG configuration when deploying Docker SWAG with open-appsec is simple and straightforward:

**Moke sure to follow these important notes related to the deployment:**

* **Create a new folder** for the Docker SWAG with open-appsec deployment so that you can keep the original one as backup.
* **Copy your existing SWAG configuration** into **./swag-config** within that new folder.\
  The `docker-compose.yaml` by default mounts the config from the folder `./swag-config` on the docker host as a volume into `/config` inside the `swag-attachment` container.
* **Before deployment** of the `docker-compose.yaml` and `.env` file for the SWAG with open-appsec deployment:\
  \
  Make sure to configure all parameters which you had previously adjusted in the `docker-compose.yaml` file of your existing Docker SWAG deployment also within the `docker-compose.yaml` file or respectively in the `.env` file for the Docker SWAG with open-appsec deployment (e.g. env variables URL, VALIDATION, ...)

For the actual deployment follow the steps explained here:
