Upgrade Re:dash

NOTE: The Approach A sections referred to below do not apply to Bitnami native installers. Users of Bitnami native installers should refer only to the Approach B sections.

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.

• Navigate to the Redash installation directory. Depending on your installation type, execute the following commands:

  • Approach A (Bitnami installations using system packages):

      $ cd installdir/redash
    

  • Approach B (Self-contained Bitnami installations):

      $ cd installdir/apps/redash/htdocs/
    

• Create a backup of your current version:

    $ mkdir /tmp/redash-backup
    $ sudo mv * /tmp/redash-backup
  

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

    $ sudo tar -xvf /path/to/new/tarball
  

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

    $ cp -p /tmp/redash-backup/.env .
    $ cp -rp /tmp/redash-backup/venv .
  

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

    $ diff migrations /tmp/redash-backup/migrations
  

• Apply new migrations (if it is necessary):

    $ . venv/bin/activate
    $ ./bin/run python migrations/new_migrations.py
  

• Install any new requirements:

    $ . venv/bin/activate
    $ pip install -r requirements.txt
  

• Restart servers:

    $ sudo installdir/ctlscript.sh restart
