Upgrading Anaconda Server

Ensure your environment meets the new version’s system requirements.

Create backups of the docker-compose.yml and .env files:

1. Open a terminal.

2. Log in to the server that hosts your Anaconda Server installation.

3. Navigate to your Anaconda installer directory (ate-installer-*) by running the following command:

   Copy

   Ask AI

   # Replace <INSTALLER_DIR> with your installer directory
   cd <INSTALLER_DIR>
   

   Type “ate-installer-”, then press Tab to autocomplete the directory name.

4. Create backups of your configuration files by running the following commands:

   Copy

   Ask AI

   sudo cp docker-compose.yml ../docker-compose.yml.backup
   sudo cp .env ../.env.backup
   

You must verify the correct permissions are set for the service account to prevent users from losing their assigned permissions:

1. Log in to your Keycloak admin panel at https://<YOUR_DOMAIN>/auth/admin.
2. Navigate to Clients and select repo-account-sync.
3. Select the Service Account Roles tab.
4. Open the Client Roles dropdown and select realm-management.
5. Add manage-users and manage-realm to the Assigned Roles.

Download the installer using the URL provided by Anaconda:

# Replace `<INSTALLER_LOCATION>` with the provided installer URL
curl -O <INSTALLER_LOCATION>

Choose the appropriate command based on your setup:

# Replace <INSTALLER> with the installer you just downloaded
# Replace <PATH_TO_REPO_FOLDER> with the path to your repository - the default path is /opt/anaconda/repo
# Replace <FQDN> with your fully qualified domain name
# Replace <PATH_TO_CERT> and <PATH_TO_KEY> with your TLS certificate and key paths
# Replace <PREVIOUS_ATE_INSTALLER_DIR> with the location of the previous installation (where the docker-compose.yml is located)
sudo bash <INSTALLER> -- -b <PATH_TO_REPO_FOLDER> --domain <FQDN> --tls-cert <PATH_TO_CERT> --tls-key <PATH_TO_KEY> --upgrade-from ../<PREVIOUS_ATE_INSTALLER_DIR>

--grafana-monitor-stack

# Replace <ADMIN_PASSWORD> with the password used to log in to Keycloak as user "admin"
docker compose exec -T keycloak ./bin/kcadm.sh update realms/master -s sslRequired=NONE --server http://localhost:8080/auth --realm master --user admin --password `<ADMIN_PASSWORD>`

docker compose down
chmod 644 "<BASE_INSTALL_DIR>/state/redis/data/dump.rdb"
docker compose up --detach

If necessary, review the docker-compose.yml.backup and .env.backup files you created when you began the upgrade process, reapply your custom configurations to your new installations configuration files, and verify that your repo.conf (nginx configuration) file also reflects the upgraded changes.
