Upgrading from v0.6.1 to v0.9.0

maximus123

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.

maximus123

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./nodebb

v0.6.1 --> 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 details

v0.8.2 --> v0.9.0
$ git fetch
$ git checkout v0.9.x
$ npm install (inside /nodebb directory)
$ ./nodebb upgrade

I 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!

julian

Hmmmmm, can you downgrade Node.js? You'll need v0.10/v0.11/v0.12 for the v0.8.x branch and older. v0.9.x supports Node.js v4/5

maximus123

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

julian

If when upgrading from 0.7.x to 0.8.x, node app --upgrade completes without issue, you can move on ahead to v0.9.x branch.

maximus123

Unfortunately no, I think I have to fix the nan-2.0.9 issue first

Looks like it did not upgrade (despite the success message)... please npm install redis@~0.10.1 connect-redis@~2.0.0

... and try the upgrade again

maximus123

I have Redis 2.8.19 installed

[email protected] [~]# sudo redis-server --version
Redis server v=2.8.19 sha=00000000:0 malloc=jemalloc-3.6.0 bits=64 build=8012391549b7b328

Ok! will do!
Still getting the error after your command, should redis be up and running? it's running ATM.

Note: I updated npm to solve the issue up there (REPLACE_INVALID_UTF8), now i'm on 3.4.0
[email protected] [nodebb]# sudo npm -v
3.4.0

Redis module and redis server doesn't match, so that should be okay...

npm ls redis?

maximus123

got it after running your command

How can I make sure it updated the correct dump.rdb file? I have a feeling it's not using my correct redis installation

[email protected] [nodebb]# sudo npm ls redis

What makes you say that?

The updater will use whichever db is set in config.json...

maximus123

Sounds good, it's the correct DB

Ok 0.8.x working, last update on the way!

Ok same error with 0.9.0

[email protected] [nodebb]# sudo ./nodebb upgrade

Bringing base dependencies up to date... OK

Still does not work after that.

I had to add redis since it's not installed by default:
npm install
npm install redis
npm install connect-redis
npm install redis-server
ls -d node_modules/nodebb* | xargs -n1 basename | xargs npm update
node app --upgrade
