 ### Breaking changes
 
-* v6 replaces the zalando postgres operator with cloudnative-pg. This decision was made because cloudnative-pg is meant to be a CNCF project,
-  has increasing popularity and the avoidance of StatefulSets makes management easier. However, there is no direct upgrade path from zalando
-  to cloudnative-pg. Therefore, simply upgrading the helm chart could result in your existing database being deleted and possible data loss.
-
-  Therefore, we recommend first creating a [logical backup](https://github.com/zalando/postgres-operator/blob/master/docs/administrator.md#logical-backups)
-  of the existing database, and then reimporting that backup to the new database following instructions
+* v6 replaces the [Zalando Postgres
+  operator](https://github.com/zalando/postgres-operator) with
+  [CloudNativePG](https://cloudnative-pg.io/) operator for Postgres. This
+  decision was made because CloudNativePG is meant to become a
+  [CNCF](https://www.cncf.io/) project, has increasing popularity, and the
+  avoidance of StatefulSets makes management easier. However, there is no direct
+  upgrade path from Zalando to CloudNativePG. Therefore, **simply upgrading the

+  of the existing Galaxy database, and then reimporting that backup to the new
+  database following instructions
   [here](https://cloudnative-pg.io/documentation/1.16/database_import/).
 
-* v6 splits all global dependencies such as the postgres and rabbitbq operators into a separate `galaxy-deps` chart. This is in contrast to v5,
-  which had all dependencies bundled in for convenience. This bundling caused problems during uninstallation in particular, because the postgres
-  operator could be uninstalled before postgres itself was uninstalled, leaving various artefacts behind. This made reinstallation
-  particularly tricky, as all such left-over resources had to be cleaned up manually. Therefore, our production installation notes already contained
-  a recommendation that these dependencies be installed separately. v6 makes this separation explicit by specifically debundling the dependencies into
-  a separate chart.
-
-  If upgrading in production scenarios, you may simply omit installing the `galaxy-deps` chart and continue as usual. If upgrading in development
-  scenarios, there is no straightforward upgrade path. The galaxy chart will have to be uninstalled, the `galaxy-deps` chart installed, and subsequently,
-  galaxy can be reinstalled.
+  You can also choose not to upgrade the Postgres operator and continue using
+  your existing database service. In this case, set `postgresql.enabled: false`
+  in the `values.yaml` file and configure the `galaxy.yml` file to point to your
+  existing database.
+
+* v6 chart also changes the default uid of the system Galaxy user. Previously
+  this uid was 101, which is a system reserved uid and can cause conflicts with system installed packages. Starting
+  with v6, the default uid is 10001. This value needs to be matched between the
+  container and the chart, and during this transition period, there is a
+  dedicated galaxy-min image that uses the new uid. This image is available at
+  `quay.io/galaxyproject/galaxy-min:24.2-uid`, and it is set as the default in
+  the values file.
+
+  As a result of this change, when upgrading from a previous version, it is
+  necessary to also update the file system permissions to match the new uid.
+  This can be done by running the following commands:
+
+  ```bash
+  kubectl apply -n galaxy -f https://gist.githubusercontent.com/afgane/f82703727c6ca22a695f4eb022fdccd6/raw/3ec72508f15fdaf2ac3af3eac54f05ae7cd1a164/galaxy-debug-pod.yml
+  kubectl exec -n galaxy -it gxy-debug-pod -- sh
+  cd /server/galaxy/database/
+  find . -user 101 -exec chown 10001:10001 {} +
+  ```
