Server edition hosting

Hey All, I have started on a guide to help those seeking to setup a Manager server for themselves. I will continue to add more detail, but if you have a good idea how to handle servers and things, have a look at the Short Version. Manager server setup wiki @lubos, please let me know if there is anything you’d like me to reference specifically, and if your happy with the general idea. If anyone has any comments or requests, then please do add an issue on the guthub page. I hope this proves u…

Please advise step by step to upgrade manager server edition on DigitalOcean - Ubuntu

Hi Ahmad,

I tried to look up the answer for you earlier today but couldn’t find it. I’m trialling Manager Server Edition on a Ubuntu server, but I have SSH access. I haven’t tried it on Digital Ocean.

Looking at what @sharpdrivetek posted, I can’t see instructions for updates. Only for installation. That’s the same issue with the official documentation, it’s only got the installation instructions - it’s not clear how to update.

So I’ll tell you what I do. If you have SSH access to the server, you should be able to do something similar.

These are the steps I used for installation: Ubuntu

When I want to update, I do the following:

1. Download latest version & untar the downloaded file (which I also did during installation):
   [1] wget https://mngr.s3.amazonaws.com/<version>/ManagerServer.tar.gz -P /usr/share/manager-server
   [2] tar -xzf /usr/share/manager-server/ManagerServer.tar.gz -C /usr/share/manager-server

2. Restart the Manager service (during installation it was start instead):
   systemctl restart manager-server

So, for Digital Ocean, if you have SSH access and can figure out where you need to untar the file into (possibly /usr/share/manager-server as well), you should be able to do something similar to above.

The final step is simply to restart the manager service. Otherwise, when you connect with the web browser it will still be running the older version.

Hi @ShaneAU,

Thank for your advise. Yesterday I just do create new doplet and follow the Instalations instructions (fresh installation) I know this is not the better way and there is a hassle backing up from old version and import to new version.

I will try the SSH access.

Again thank you very much for your advise.

Best regards
Ahmad

That is yet another way to do it. It’s so completely obvious, it didn’t even occur to me! Glad you’ve got it sorted in the short term.

Let us know how you go with SSH for a longer-term solution.
