Softwareupdate on Debian

This guide describes how to update GLaDOS on a Debian server using the deb-packages.

If you plan to update GLaDOS version <=1.0.4 on a Debian 8 server, please notice that GLaDOS version 1.0.5 and onwards will not support Debian 8 anymore. Please consider an upgrade of Debian 8 to Debian 9 following this Guide.

Updating GLaDOS

To update GLaDOS, simply download the desired release version on GitHub. Download both glados_<glados_version>-deb9_all.deb and yii2-glados_<yii_version>_all.deb to your server.

First update the local package information list:

apt update

Install all available updates:

apt upgrade

Install the newest version by executing (inside the directory of the downloaded files):

apt install ./yii2-glados_<yii_version>_all.deb ./glados_<glados_version>-deb9_all.deb

During the update you may be asked some questions:

• Configuration file ‘/etc/glados/params.php’ ==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.: Y

  Configuration file '/etc/glados/params.php'
   ==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
   ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
     What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
      Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
      N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
        D     : show the differences between the versions
        Z     : start a shell to examine the situation
   The default action is to keep your current version.
  *** params.php (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? Y
  

• Upgrade database for glados with dbconfig-common?: yes

You might have to adjust settings in config files you have done so far (see Glados config files). Your existing installation will be updated and all needed dependencies are automatically installed.
