Upgrade Re:dash

NOTE: It is strongly recommended to create a backup before starting the update process. If you have important data, create and restore a backup to ensure that everything works properly.

You can upgrade the Bitnami Re:dash Stack following the steps below.

• Download the latest release tarball from GitHub.

• Create a backup of your current version:

  $ mv installdir/apps/redash/htdocs installdir/apps/redash/htdocs.bak
  

• Create the htdocs directory for the new version and unpack it there:

  $ mkdir installdir/apps/redash/htdocs
  $ tar -C installdir/apps/redash/htdocs -xvf /path/to/new/tarball
  

• Copy your .env file and your venv/ directory from the current version to the new version:

  $ cp installdir/apps/redash/htdocs.bak/.env installdir/apps/redash/htdocs
  $ cp -R installdir/apps/redash/htdocs.bak/venv installdir/apps/redash/htdocs
  

• Check if you have any new migrations in the new version. Check it by running this command:

  $ diff installdir/apps/redash/htdocs/migrations installdir/apps/redash/htdocs.bak/migrations
  

• Apply new migrations (if it is necessary):

  $ cd installdir/apps/redash/htdocs
  $ . venv/bin/activate
  $ ./bin/run python migrations/new_migrations.py
  

• Install any new requirements:

  $ cd installdir/apps/redash/htdocs
  $ . venv/bin/activate
  $ pip install -r requirements.txt
  

• Restart servers:

  $ installdir/ctlscript.sh restart
