Revision of Automatic upgrades with upgrade.sh script from Thu, 04/07/2011 - 17:58

This page describes the canonical source of information regarding upgrading your Aegir installation.

However, an upgrade script exists in the Provision repository that tries to automate much of the upgrade process.

It is imperative that you read the Version-specific upgrade notes located at the bottom of this document before attempting to run the upgrade.sh script, as the script will assume you have your system set up appropriately to handle the upgrade process.

You can download the upgrade.sh script with the following command.

Make sure you download it to somewhere that the aegir user can access in order to execute it:

wget -O upgrade.sh 'http://drupalcode.org/project/provision.git/blob_plain/refs/tags/6.x-1.0-rc3:/upgrade.sh.txt'

You may need to edit the script to set any variables that are different from the defaults, for example to upgrade to a different Aegir version. Then you just run the script:

su -s /bin/sh aegir -c "sh upgrade.sh aegir.example.com"

Remember to replace aegir.example.com with the domain of your Aegir installation.

If you run this script (after satisfying the requirements of the Version-specific upgrade notes at the bottom of this document), you may skip the rest of this document.
