Upgrading from Mayan EDMS 3.5.x¶
Important
Supervisord must be upgraded to version 4.2.2. See troubleshooting section: After upgrade to version 4.1
Stop supervisord:
sudo systemctl stop supervisor
Make a backup of your supervisord file:
sudo cp /etc/supervisor/conf.d/mayan-edms.conf /etc/supervisor/conf.d/mayan-edms.conf.bck
Make a backup of your database:
Use the respective backup command for the database:
Upgrade to the latest pip version:
sudo --user=mayan /opt/mayan-edms/bin/pip install --upgrade pip
Remove deprecated requirements:
sudo --user=mayan curl https://gitlab.com/mayan-edms/mayan-edms/raw/master/removals.txt --output /tmp/removals.txt \ && sudo --user=mayan /opt/mayan-edms/bin/pip uninstall --requirement /tmp/removals.txt --yes
Update the Mayan EDMS Python package:
sudo --user=mayan /opt/mayan-edms/bin/pip install mayan-edms==4.4.5
the requirements will also be updated automatically.
Update the Redis configuration to serve at least 3 databases:
Replace:
databases ...
with:
databases 3
Restart Redis for the changes to take effect:
sudo systemctl restart redis
Edit the config file at
/opt/mayan-edms/media/config.yml
:Replace:
LOCK_MANAGER_BACKEND: ... LOCK_MANAGER_BACKEND_ARGUMENTS: ...
with:
LOCK_MANAGER_BACKEND: mayan.apps.lock_manager.backends.redis_lock.RedisLock LOCK_MANAGER_BACKEND_ARGUMENTS: {'redis_url':'redis://:mayanredispassword@<IP address of Redis server>:6379/2'}
Update the supervisord configuration file. Replace the environment variables values shown here with your respective settings. This step will refresh the supervisord configuration file with the new queues and the latest recommended layout:
sudo --user=mayan 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 --user=mayan MAYAN_MEDIA_ROOT=/opt/mayan-edms/media/ \ /opt/mayan-edms/bin/mayan-edms.py performupgrade
