Dirty upgrade - for advanced users. [NOT RECOMMENDED ;) ]

[jkandasa]

Sometimes we may not have the patience to upgrade with actual steps, backup and restore especially when we work with SNAPSHOT versions.
In this case, we may follow direct upgrade with the following steps.

IMPORTANT: copy your entire mycontroller directory(command included in the steps below).

# Stop MyController server
mycontroller/bin/stop.sh

# copy entire directory of MyController. >> IMPORTANT
cp mycontroller mycontroller_old -r

# download SNAPSHOT version
# extract SNAPSHOT version
tar xzf mycontroller-dist-standalone-*-SNAPSHOT-bundle.tar.gz

# delete everything inside configuration directory
rm mycontroller/conf/* -rf

# copy configuration file from old directory
cp mycontroller_old/conf/* mycontroller/conf/ -r

# all set, now you can start your MyController instance
mycontroller/bin/start.sh

typo in 4th command - missing 'o'

@skywatch Thank you! Updated.

It wouldn't be too difficult to write a bash script to automate this (maybe even downloading before uncompressing included - with user selectable 'stable' or 'snapshot' branch selection and backup and restore too....) and then have an 'update' button on the main page?
Would be easier for less technical people to upgrade then.......Possible???

I created a googledrive download script!, maybe it is usefull for you

#!/bin/sh

if [ "$#" -ne 2 ] ; then
  clear
  echo "Usage ./get-googledrive doc-id filename"
  echo "Where the doc-id is the number presented on the share link in google drive"
  exit 1
fi

echo
echo '-----------------------------------------------------------------------'
echo 'Getting doc-id : ' $1
echo 'Saving to filename : ' $2
echo '-----------------------------------------------------------------------'
echo

wget --no-check-certificate 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id='$1 -O $2

(not sure if the doc-id changes once you post a new version.....)
