What is the recommended way to update Mautic 5.2.2 to 5.2.3. I assume its NOT through the GUI on the front end?

trying to update from 5.2.3 to 5.2.5. Not working at all. After spending two hours trying to work around “doctrine schema & is_published” errors, I’m about to give up. Is it worth it to upgrade to 5.2.5, with 6.0 out? Should I just try and upgrade to that, or is it better to just reinstall?

While I am very appreciative of the Mautic developers and community, I am not a developer. So spending hours trying to upgrade is making me question using the platform. It seems like there are so many moving parts and places for the system to get hung up, that any update puts the entire install in jeopardy. Of course I back up the entire server before I attempt updates. But I fail multiple times with every update.

Am I alone on this one, or is this common across the “non-dev” community? Any suggestions, aside from the “see the upgrade documentation” (which has been the source of my upgrade efforts).

Any help would be appreciated.
