Upgrading from v0.6.1 to v0.9.0
-
Thanks Julian for the clarification!
So updating one branch at a time is the way to go?
For example, I would do:
0.6.1 --> 0.7.0
0.7.0 --> 0.7.3
0.7.3 ---> 0.8.0
0.8.0 ---> 0.8.2
0.8.2 ---> 0.9.0 -
v0.6.1 --> v0.7.3
v0.7.3 --> v0.8.2
v0.8.2 --> v0.9.0No need to upgrade to the base version of each branch. When you checkout the
v0.x.xbranch, you'll be updated to the latest code in that branch.I believe from 7 to 8, you'll need to run
npm ibefore./nodebb upgrade. -
Sounds good, should be easier this way.
before running the /nodebb upgrade, do you need to have redis running so that it update the dump file?
Got that for 7 to 8, what does "npm i" do? I am on CentOS and have updated everything with "yum update"
Thanks -

yum updateupdates your server's packages, and is not really related to NodeBB.npm installupdates NodeBB's dependencies, which are saved locally in thenode_modules/folder../nodebb upgradedoes it for you, usually, but in that specific instance, the upgrade script got rewritten and relies on a couple dependencies that aren't installed yet, so you have to install them first
-
Perfect, so if the update script shows some missing dependencies, I will run "npm install"
Should be good to go now, will try to update tonight. -
Hey Julian,
Just want to understand something before I start the upgrade process.
Will the dump.rdb (redis database) be compatible with the newer version (0.9.0)? Has the database structure changed between version?I am now on 0.6.1, my upgrade plan is this:
EDIT :
updating the plan while I'm doing the update, I'm now on 0.7.3#Backup dump.rdb
#stop./nodebbv0.6.1 --> v0.7.3
$ git fetch
$ git checkout v0.7.x
$ npm install (needed before upgrade, missing dep.)
$ ./nodebb upgrade
#Start nodebb, test if changes worked
DONE!v0.7.3 --> v0.8.2
$ git fetch
$ git checkout v0.8.x
$ ./nodebb upgrade
DONE!, had to install some missing dependecy with npm, see under this post for detailsv0.8.2 --> v0.9.0
$ git fetch
$ git checkout v0.9.x
$ npm install (inside /nodebb directory)
$ ./nodebb upgradeI also made change to the code of a plugin I'm using Emailer (Postmark v 0.4.0), will the changes carry on or be overwritten by the upgrade process?
Let me know if something is not safe or missing in my upgrade plan, thanks a lot! -

Should I just go directly to 0.9.x and skip 0.8.x? Or is the update script mandatory to run between major version? Thanks
-
Unfortunately no, I think I have to fix the nan-2.0.9 issue first
