Upgrading

Just install it again…


We do not provide any automation tool to upgrade Sonerezh. The most efficient way is to move your existent installation to another directory (sonerezh.old for instance), make a fresh installation and copy some configuration data from the old directory.

Let's suppose our current installation is located into /srv/sonerezh. First, we rename it.

$ mv /src/sonerezh /srv/sonerezh.old

Then we can download the latest release and untar it.

$ wget https://www.sonerezh.bzh/downloads/latest.tar.gz
$ tar -zxf latest.tar.gz

We need to copy:

  • The database configuration file (database.php)
  • The album artworks, and the user's avatars
  • If you used the email function, the email configuration files (email.php)
$ cp -a /srv/sonerezh.old/app/Config/database.php /srv/sonerezh/app/Config/database.php
$ cp -a /srv/sonerezh.old/webroot/img/thumbnails /srv/sonerezh.old/webroot/img/
$ cp -a /srv/sonerezh.old/webroot/img/resized /srv/sonerezh.old/webroot/img/
$ cp -a /srv/sonerezh.old/webroot/img/avatars /srv/sonerezh.old/webroot/img/
$ cp -a /srv/sonerezh.old/app/Config/email.php /srv/sonerezh/app/Config/email.php

Don't forget to check the permissions on the new folders.

$ chown -R www-data: /srv/sonerezh
