This document describes the steps required for upgrading Central Server host from Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. The upgrade is a two-phase process; first from version 14.04 to 16.04 and then to version 18.04. Please read carefully through the whole document before starting the upgrade process. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the Ubuntu Linux distribution and has experience of Ubuntu release upgrades and the central server is installed using the installation guide and has a local PostgreSQL database.
Alternative method: How to Upgrade Central Server to Ubuntu 18.04 Using a Configuration Backup? |
Note that upgrading a system that uses a hardware security module has not been tested. Please verify that the HSM is compatible with Ubuntu 18.04 and check the HSM module documentation for upgrage instructions.
Update all packages to the latest versions:
apt update && apt full-upgrade
Recommended: Make sure that you have an up-to-date backup (or a virtual machine snapshot) of the server.
Use the admin UI to take a backup of the central server configuration and download it to a safe location.
This makes it possible to restore the server configuration if the upgrade fails for some reason.
Stop the central server before continuing to the actual upgrade: service xroad-jetty stop; service xroad-signer stop
The upgrade is a two-phase process; first from version 14.04 to 16.04 and then to version 18.04
/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
is set to lts
(long-term support)sudo do-release-upgrade
When the upgrade is finished, reboot when prompted (the central server processes won't start after reboot since 16.04 and 18.04 use systemd and the startup scripts are still in upstart format).
Repeat the process to upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04.
This step applies only to a stand-alone central server.
List the database instances with pg_lsclusters
, and drop the extra ones.
Do not remove the version 9.3 (main) running on port 5432sudo pg_dropcluster --stop <version, e.g. 10> main
Upgrade the old database to version 10:
sudo pg_upgradecluster 9.3 main
This step applies only to a clustered central server.
echo "deb https://apt.2ndquadrant.com/ bionic-2ndquadrant main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bdr.list wget --quiet -O - https://dl.2ndquadrant.com/gpg-key.asc | apt-key add - |
Update the X-Road apt repository (remove old and add new):
apt-add-repository -r "deb https://artifactory.niis.org/xroad-release-deb trusty-current main" apt-add-repository "deb https://artifactory.niis.org/xroad-release-deb bionic-current main" |
Alternatively, find the repository definition in /etc/apt/sources.list and edit it directly.
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
Warnings like the following during the upgrade can be ignored:
Failed to stop xroad-jetty.service: Unit xroad-jetty.service not loaded.
invoke-rc.d: initscript xroad-jetty, action "stop" failed.
dpkg: warning: old xroad-jetty9 package pre-removal script subprocess returned error exit status 5
systemctl list-units "xroad-*" "nginx*" "postgresql@*" UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION nginx.service loaded active running A high performance web server and a reverse proxy server postgresql@10-main.service loaded active running PostgreSQL Cluster 10-main * xroad-jetty.service loaded active running X-Road Jetty server xroad-signer.service loaded active running X-Road signer |
*A clustered central server has PostgreSQL version 9.4
After verifying that the database upgrade was successful, drop the old database and remove obsolete PostgreSQL packages.
sudo pg_dropcluster 9.3 main
sudo apt purge postgresql-9.3
postgresql-9.5
sudo apt autoremove
