Version 3.4.4
Released: April 8, 2020
Changes
Common
A custom app static media finder was added to work around Django’s
AppDirectoriesFinder
limitation that caused the missing staticfiles
manifest entry error.
Docker
The Docker entrypoint now checks for the existence of /dev/shm
and if
found, uses it for gunicorn’s heartbeat file.
Removals
None
Upgrading process
Stop supervisord:
sudo systemctl stop supervisor
Upgrading from Mayan EDMS 3.2.x or earlier
Update the Redis configuration:
Configure Redis to discard data when it runs out of memory, not save its database, and only keep 2 database:
echo "maxmemory-policy allkeys-lru" | sudo tee -a /etc/redis/redis.conf echo "save \"\"" | sudo tee -a /etc/redis/redis.conf echo "databases 2" | sudo tee -a /etc/redis/redis.conf echo "requirepass mayanredispassword" | sudo tee -a /etc/redis/redis.conf sudo systemctl restart redis
Install the Python 3 development OS package:
sudo apt-get install python3-dev
Update the virtualenv to use Python 3:
sudo -u mayan virtualenv --clear /opt/mayan-edms -p /usr/bin/python3
Create a home directory for the Mayan EDMS system user:
mkdir /home/mayan
Grant ownership to the Mayan EDMS system user:
chown mayan:mayan /home/mayan
Reinstall the Python client for PostgreSQL and Redis:
sudo -u mayan /opt/mayan-edms/bin/pip install psycopg2==3.2.3 redis==5.2.0
Note
Platforms with the ARM CPU might also need additional requirements:
sudo -u mayan /opt/mayan-edms/bin/pip install psutil==5.8.0
Reinstall the Python client for RabbitMQ if you are using RabbitMQ as a broker:
sudo -u mayan /opt/mayan-edms/bin/pip install amqp==5.3.1
Upgrading from Mayan EDMS 3.3.x
Update the Redis configuration to enable password protection:
echo "requirepass mayanredispassword" | sudo tee -a /etc/redis/redis.conf sudo systemctl restart redis
Remove deprecated requirements:
sudo -u mayan curl https://gitlab.com/mayan-edms/mayan-edms/raw/master/removals.txt -o /tmp/removals.txt \ && sudo -u mayan /opt/mayan-edms/bin/pip uninstall -y -r /tmp/removals.txt
Update the Mayan EDMS Python package:
sudo -u mayan /opt/mayan-edms/bin/pip install mayan-edms==3.4.4
the requirements will also be updated automatically.
Make a backup of your supervisord file:
sudo cp /etc/supervisor/conf.d/mayan-edms.conf /etc/supervisor/conf.d/mayan-edms.conf.bck
Update the supervisord configuration file. Replace the environment variables values show here with your respective settings. This step will refresh the supervisord configuration file with the new queues and the latest recommended layout:
sudo -u mayan MAYAN_DATABASE_ENGINE=django.db.backends.postgresql MAYAN_DATABASE_NAME=mayan \ MAYAN_DATABASE_PASSWORD=mayandbpass MAYAN_DATABASE_USER=mayan \ MAYAN_DATABASE_HOST=127.0.0.1 MAYAN_MEDIA_ROOT=/opt/mayan-edms/media/ \ /opt/mayan-edms/bin/mayan-edms.py platformtemplate supervisord | sudo sh -c "cat > /etc/supervisor/conf.d/mayan-edms.conf"
or:
sudo -u mayan MAYAN_DATABASES=\"{'default':{'ENGINE':'django.db.backends.postgresql','NAME':'mayan','PASSWORD':'mayandbpass','USER':'mayan','HOST':'127.0.0.1'}}\" \ MAYAN_MEDIA_ROOT=/opt/mayan-edms/media/ \ /opt/mayan-edms/bin/mayan-edms.py platformtemplate supervisord | sudo sh -c "cat > /etc/supervisor/conf.d/mayan-edms.conf"
Edit the supervisord configuration file and update any setting specific to your installation:
sudo vi /etc/supervisor/conf.d/mayan-edms.conf
Migrate existing database schema and static media files with:
sudo -u mayan MAYAN_DATABASE_ENGINE=django.db.backends.postgresql MAYAN_DATABASE_NAME=mayan \ MAYAN_DATABASE_PASSWORD=mayandbpass MAYAN_DATABASE_USER=mayan \ MAYAN_DATABASE_HOST=127.0.0.1 MAYAN_MEDIA_ROOT=/opt/mayan-edms/media/ \ /opt/mayan-edms/bin/mayan-edms.py performupgrade
or:
sudo -u mayan MAYAN_DATABASES="{'default':{'ENGINE':'django.db.backends.postgresql','NAME':'mayan','PASSWORD':'mayandbpass','USER':'mayan','HOST':'127.0.0.1'}}" \ MAYAN_MEDIA_ROOT=/opt/mayan-edms/media/ \ /opt/mayan-edms/bin/mayan-edms.py performupgrade
Start supervisord:
sudo systemctl start supervisor
