easy nodebb upgrade process

[julian]

Yes, I'll admit the write up is a little verbose, but that's how I am when I write text

The gist of it is...

git checkout v1.x.x if not already there
git pull && ./nodebb upgrade

@julian

So if I'm upgrading from v1.0.0 to v1.0.1 does that mean I should replace the x.x for the command you provided with git checkout v1.0.1?

[phit]

@charles no, it stays git checkout v1.x.x
that's the branch name for the latest 1.x.x, so right now 1.0.1

[charles]

thanks @julian @phit for the guidance will give it a try

hopefully nodebb will have easy upgrade like wordpress. just a click.

I thought it was clear, but didnt work for me i upgraded, it appeared to work, but still when i go into the dashboard it says 1.0.0

[charles]

@ViolentCrumble I'll be testing it and will let you know what works so you can also try.

[charles]

@ViolentCrumble

tried commands below and works for me. Now logged in and version showing v1.0.2

git checkout v1.x.x
git pull
./nodebb upgrade

@ViolentCrumble I was confused with commands too.

just use git checkout v1.x.x exactly as shown. do not add any numbers. after that you can use the other commands shown in my previous reply.

[ViolentCrumble]

@charles ok still no go. This time i used "" git checkout v1.x.x"

Is it normal that it says "Aborted" like that?

but i continued regardless

@ViolentCrumble use ./nodebb restart and then check the version again

[ViolentCrumble]

@charles Whelp, now it's showing 1.0.0 and isn't showing any stats

@ViolentCrumble that is strange that you have v1.0.3-auto.0 listed

when I try git checkout v1.x.x I get
Already on 'v1.x.x'
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/v1.x.x'.

@charles I think i might have broken something when i was attempting to backup my forums using git...

When i type git remote -v

i get my own personal git directory. i think i done and gone broken something

[ViolentCrumble]

@charles ANy ideas how to fix this?

What do you get if you type git remote -v

[charles]

@ViolentCrumble

origin https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB.git (fetch)
origin https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB.git (push)

[ViolentCrumble]

@charles ok removed old origin and set new origin. now it shows correctly but now it doesnt work still

I don't know enough about git to know what else to look at?

[ViolentCrumble]

@charles

Ok managed to use git fetch, then had to use git pull origin master. now it finally says im on 1.0.2 buy now my dashboard doesn;t work

@ViolentCrumble that happened to me the last two updates. Restarted the forum from ACP, refreshed the browser, went back to ACP and it updated.

Guys,

I just upgraded from 1.0.0 to latest (Control panel told me new version 1.0.1-auto0) so I did

./nodebb stop
git fetch
git reset --hard origin/v1.x.x
./nodebb upgrade #(could take up to 5 min)
./nodebb start

Now control panel tells me I'm on V1.0.2 all is fine
