Xen Orchestra - Updating

scottalanmiller

From a git perspective you stay current running a regular git fetch; git pull

So that's all that would be needed to upgrade.... seems way to simple...

scottalanmiller

That's all that you need to get the code upgraded. How the app itself upgrades is up to it.

Ya you'd still have to run npm install and build. The container I did it in only took a couple minutes to clone and then I just pulled from git and did npm install then npm build. It took maybe 10 minutes (as long as there aren't weird errors like I had).

DustinB3403

Hrm.... I must've done something wrong.

I can't remember what Node version @olivier mentioned that it needed.

DustinB3403

Good thing this is only on my home lab setup

I can play with it and see what happens.

DustinB3403

Well after rerunning in both ~/xo-server and ~/xo-web

npm install && npm run build

sudo npm start

Has started, now to determine if I'm on 4.11

DustinB3403

xo-web is still on 4.10...

And there is no "Delta" option under the backup menu...

5.2.0 is what your screen cap says.

DustinB3403

Yeah I know, which is why I'm lost. Maybe just dump the whole lot and start over?

scottalanmiller

Oh, your xo-web version is 4.10.0. Your Node version is 5.2.0.

DustinB3403

Which this screen should have the delta icon as shown in the documentation.

Or maybe it only shows up after performing a full?

WARNING 2: NodeJS 5 is not supported for now due to some dependencies problems.

You need to get onto a supported platform version, I'm guessing that running a language version that they believe does not work is probably the issue. An issue, even if not, THE issue.

I ran the installer following their guide...

And everything seems functional..... but the web console isn't updated to 4.11.

Which installer installed that Node version?

DustinB3403

5.2.0 I'm removing it now and looking for a direct link to 4.1.1

scottalanmiller

Use NVM for installing and controlling Node versions.

DustinB3403

I'm just gonna start with a clean install. NVM doesn't want to remove the files without being a pain in the arse.
