Important Notice: this service will be discontinued by the end of 2024 because for multiple years now, Plume is no longer under active/continuous development. Sadly each time there was hope, active development came to a stop again. Please consider using our Writefreely instance instead.

Upgrading Plume

Purple feather with curved arrow

WARNING

This is only for Plume operators. Otherwise, this would be a very boring article to read and wouldn't help you very much.

Purpose

Write a guide on how to upgrade Plume from version 0.3 to 0.4 for instance owners.

My system

OS: Ubuntu 18.04

DB: PostgresSQL 12.1

Installed Plume: Binary guide here

User: plume

Install Location: /home/plume/Plume

Upgrade Guide

BACKUP!!!

  1. Backup Database `sudo -u postgres pg_dump plumedatabase > plumedatabase.sql
  2. Log in as plume user su plume
  3. Backup binary cd ~&&cp -a Plume Plume.bak
  4. Change directory to where plume was installed cd ~/Plume
  5. git pull origin master

Results in error (for me, maybe not for you):

    plume@comp:~/Plume$ git pull origin master
    From https://github.com/Plume-org/Plume
     * branch            master     -> FETCH_HEAD

    Aborting
  1. Clean it (will remove all local changes you have made) git clean -f&&git clean -fd&&git reset --hard
  2. Then do git pull origin master
  3. If you want to use latest tagged version not directly from the master branch, also do git checkout 0.4.0-alpha-4
  4. Build front end cargo web deploy -p plume-front
    plume@comp:~/Plume$ cargo web deploy -p plume-front
