Upgrading a GeoMapFish application

Prepare upgrade

Be sure that your managed_files list is up to date in your project.yaml file.

If you are not sure whether this list is up to date, you can perform an update up to step 7 on your current version and see if some files get modified by the update process. If the update process modified files which you do not want modified, then add these files to the managed_files list.

From a version prior to 2.4.x

Upgrade your project first to 2.4, as this is the current long-term release. Migration scripts and instructions assume that your minimal version is the current long-term release.

From a version 2.4.x

Clean your project (include ignored files):

git clean -dx --force

Build the project file if needed:

./docker-run make project.yaml

Get the upgrade script:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/camptocamp/c2cgeoportal/2.6/scripts/upgrade > upgrade
chmod +x upgrade

Upgrade in Git ignore:

echo /upgrade >> .gitignore
git add .gitignore
git commit -m "Add /upgrade in .gitignore"

Run the upgrade:

./upgrade <version>

Then follow the instructions.

From a version 2.5 and next

Have a look at the Information to know before starting the upgrade chapter in the changelog

Start the upgrade:

./build --upgrade <version>

Then follow the instructions.

The <version> can be x.y.z.p to target a stable version, or master to target the master branch.

If for some reason you need to debug what happens during the upgrade see: here.

Upgrade the database

The database will be automatically upgraded during the upgrade process.

To upgrade only the database you can use alembic directly.

The help:

docker-compose exec geoportal alembic --help

Upgrade the main schema:

docker-compose exec geoportal alembic --name=main upgrade head

Upgrade the static schema:

docker-compose exec geoportal alembic --name=static upgrade head
