Updating Akkoma

2022-12-11

It's that time!

A bunch of new features, far more than I expected, considering how many requests there were!

https://meta.akkoma.dev/t/akkoma-stable-2022-12-automatic-static/225

I thought I should add a short post on updating for OTP. This assumes you're logged on as root (I always drop to root because... fuck it I know what I am doing. Mostly)

The update procedure

I always run a backup. I have dailies, but if I have to roll back then a more recent one would have less activites to sync back up from fedi.

I then ssh into the server an then run the commands as per linked above, as the `akkoma` user as required for parts of it.

Download the update:

su akkoma -s $SHELL -lc "./bin/pleroma_ctl update --branch stable"

Which should give you something like this in your terminal:

root@localhost:~# su akkoma -s $SHELL -lc "./bin/pleroma_ctl update --branch stable"

Then stop the akkoma service

systemctl stop akkoma

Wait while it blinks the curser and stops the service, then returns you to the terminal prompt. Might be a 10 seconds or so, be patient.

Then run the migration

su akkoma -s $SHELL -lc "./bin/pleroma_ctl migrate"

Which might return something like this (subsequent updates were significantly less):

root@localhost:~# su akkoma -s $SHELL -lc "./bin/pleroma_ctl migrate"

Restart the service and update the front-end (assumes PleromaFE)

systemctl start akkoma
su akkoma -s $SHELL -lc "./bin/pleroma_ctl frontend install pleroma-fe --ref stable"

which should give you:

root@localhost:~# su akkoma -s $SHELL -lc "./bin/pleroma_ctl frontend install pleroma-fe --ref stable"
Downloading pleroma-fe (stable)...

00:09:10.861 [info] Downloading pre-built bundle for pleroma-fe
Installing pleroma-fe (stable) to /var/lib/akkoma/static/frontends/pleroma-fe/stable
Frontend pleroma-fe (stable) installed to /var/lib/akkoma/static/frontends/pleroma-fe/stable

You probably also want to update AdminFE

su akkoma -s $SHELL -lc "./bin/pleroma_ctl frontend install admin-fe --ref stable"

Then check the [changelog](https://akkoma.dev/AkkomaGang/akkoma/src/branch/develop/CHANGELOG.md) for any post-upgrade steps

That's it!
