Updating Linkurious: Update procedure
If you follow this procedure, you will be able to update Linkurious Enterprise to a newer version without loosing your configuration and user-data store. Your data will be automatically migrated to the newer version.
Update
Before updating, make sure that you have backed-up your data in case something unexpected happens.
Even though this procedure is the standard one for a general update, some version (especially major releases) can introduce changes requiring extra attention. Please browse our public resources to verify whether there is something applicable to your specific configuration before proceeding with the update.
Updating with the standard installer
During the update procedure, if Linkurious Enterprise is running, it will be stopped. You will need to re-start Linkurious Enterprise after the update procedure.
- Download the newer version you wish to install (see how to download Linkurious Enterprise)
- Copy
linkurious-xxx-v4.1.5.zip
into the root folder of your working Linkurious Enterprise directory (along thestart
stop
andupdate
scripts) - Run the existing update script from the root folder (Linux:
update.sh
, Mac OS:update.sh.command
, Windows:update.bat
). In case of failures, run it again to revert the changes. - Done! You can restart Linkurious Enterprise.
If the update script fails, please check the update log located
at linkurious/data/logs/update.log
for details.
Updating with Docker
If you use the Linkurious Enterprise Docker image, the only step to update Linkurious Enterprise is to use the new Docker image with the existing Linkurious Enterprise data volume.
