| Upgrading to a new release |
Preparing
The release page contains a changelog, and below it, upgrade instructions. Read and understand the release instructions.
Some tasks (like database migrations) can take a while, so we advise you to run commands inside a tmux or screen.
Backup
Always make sure your database and .env.production file are properly backuped before performing upgrades.
Unless stated otherwise in the release notes, the following steps are enough to upgrade Mobilizon.
Steps
Fetch latest code
Switch to the mobilizon user:
sudo -i -u mobilizon
And navigate to the Mobilizon root directory:
cd /home/mobilizon/live
Fetch the latest tags
git fetch --tags
And checkout the tag you want to switch to. For instance, if I want to upgrade to version v1.1:
git checkout v1.1
Fetch new dependencies
Fetch new and/or updated Elixir and NodeJS dependencies
mix deps.get
cd js
yarn install
Rebuild Mobilizon's front-end
yarn run build
cd ../
Recompile Mobilizon
mix compile
Let's switch back to your regular user.
Stop running Mobilizon processes
sudo systemctl stop mobilizon
Perform database migrations
Go back to the mobilizon user.
sudo -i -u mobilizon
cd live
mix ecto.migrate
Restart Mobilizon
Let's switch back one last time to your regular user.
sudo systemctl restart mobilizon
You can follow the Mobilizon logs to check that everything works properly.
sudo journalctl -u mobilizon -f
That’s all! You’re running the new version of Mobilizon now.
