Upgrade Instructions for v1.6.0

Note

If you are upgrading from one of the release candidates, you just have to follow the default upgrade procedure, like the one described in the 2nd release candidate

For Docker

  1. Get the official image or checkout the code and build it locally
  2. Stop all containers docker compose down
  3. Start all containers docker compose up -d
  4. Generate VAPID keys to support push notifications (for encryption): docker compose exec php php bin/console mbin:push:keys:update

For Bare Metal

  1. Stop all messenger processes by running supervisorctl stop messenger:* as the root user
  2. install the php extension bcmath, be sure the extension is for your installed php version. On debian for php 8.2 it would look like this: apt install php8.2-bcmath. Check if that was successful by running: php -m | grep bcmath
  3. Login as the mbin/kbin user: su mbin
  4. Go to your repo cd /var/www/mbin
  5. Get the new release: git fetch && git checkout v1.7.0
  6. Run the update script: bash bin/post-upgrade.sh. If you get an error when running the db migrations you maybe have to stop your webserver, so nothing is trying to access the database.
  7. Generate VAPID keys to support push notifications (for encryption): php bin/console mbin:push:keys:update
  8. Run exit so we are back at the root user (or put a sudo infront of every command)
  9. flush your redis db by running redis-cli, type in AUTH [YOUR PASSWORD] and then FLUSHDB
  10. clear your opcache by reloading php fpm systemctl reload php8.2-fpm (or for PHP 8.3: systemctl reload php8.3-fpm)
  11. Refresh supervisor and start the new messenger group: supervisorctl reread && supervisorctl update && supervisorctl start messenger:*
