  • 2 minute(s) read
Prev Next

Customers with versions prior to 3.29 of Segura® who wish to update their application offline to version 3.29 or later must follow the instructions provided in this article.

Requirements

  • Set the correct server time.
  • Take a snapshot before the update.
  • The Arbitrator must be removed from the cluster (only for environments with an Arbitrator).
Application unavailable during update

When Segura® initiates the update process, it will be unavailable until the activity is complete.

Take a snapshot

Snapshots should be taken only when Segura® instances are offline. This ensures the ability to revert to a previous version if necessary.

  1. You can shut down a Segura® instance using the following command:
sudo orbit shutdown
  1. Once the instance is completely shut down, take a snapshot in the hypervisor.
  2. Reboot your Segura® instance and update the application.

How to update offline versions prior to 3.29

Caution

Before updating Segura®, always run a snapshot on your hypervisor and backup using the Orbit CLI.

Caution

If you use the Segura® Arbitrator, remove it from the cluster before updating Segura®. Learn more in our documentation.

To update Segura® offline, follow these steps:

  1. In another machine with access to the internet, download the update package to a separate device:
wget https://repo:[email protected]/bullseye-se-update.sh --no-check-certificate
  1. Create a folder for the update files inside the /var/update directory. Use the following command:
sudo install -d /var/update -g mt4adm -o mt4adm
  1. Upload the file downloaded in step 1 to Segura®'s server (via scp, for example):
scp -P 59022 <update_file_name>  mt4adm@<IP>:/var/update
  1. Add a "#" symbol to comment every line in resolv.conf to prevent it from trying to connect to the internet during the update:
sudo vim /etc/resolv.conf
  1. Give the user permission to run the update file:
sudo chmod +x <update_file_name>
  1. In our example, we named the update file bullseye-se-update.sh, so our command is:
sudo chmod +x bullseye-se-update.sh
  1. Run the package using the following command:
sudo bash <update_file_name>
  1. Run the following command to reboot the device:
sudo orbit shutdown --reboot
  1. Run the package one more time using the following command:
sudo bash <update_file_name>

  1. Type Y to agree with the EULA terms.

  2. After running the update file, return to resolv.conf and remove the '#' symbol from all previously modified lines.

  3. Run the following command to reboot the device:

sudo orbit shutdown --reboot
  1. After the reboot is complete, run the following command and type Y to confirm:
sudo orbit application init
  1. A message in the terminal will indicate that the update was successful. To check the current version, run the following command:
sudo orbit version
