Title Updating Your Instance
Date 2022-11-17
Order 3

When there are changes available in the production branch, you can install and get them running on your instance using the command ./bw-dev update. This does a number of things:

  • git pull gets the updated code from the git repository. If there are conflicts, you may need to run git pull separately and resolve the conflicts before trying the ./bw-dev update script again.
  • docker-compose build rebuilds the images, which ensures that the correct packages are installed. This step takes a long time and is only needed when the dependencies (including pip requirements.txt packages) have changed, so you can comment it out if you want a quicker update path and don't mind un-commenting it as needed.
  • docker-compose run --rm web python manage.py migrate runs the database migrations in Django using the newly built Docker images
  • docker-compose run --rm web python manage.py compile_themes compiles the BookWyrm themes
  • docker-compose run --rm web python manage.py collectstatic --no-input loads any updated static files (such as the JavaScript and CSS)
  • docker-compose down; docker-compose up -d will restart all the docker containers and make use of the newly built images (Attention: downtime during the restart)

Re-building activity streams

Feeds for each user are stored in Redis. To re-populate a stream, use the management command:

./bw-dev populate_streams
# Or use docker-compose directly
docker-compose run --rm web python manage.py populate_streams

If something has gone terribly awry, the stream data can be deleted.

docker-compose run --rm web python manage.py erase_streams
