Upgrade your pre-5.0 OpenProject installation (DEB/RPM Packages)
Starting with OpenProject 4.1 stable releases will have their own branch on github. According to this the OpenProject release 6.0 is tracked via the stable/6 branch. We provide a stable branch stable/<VERSION> to contain all minor upgrades to OpenProject .x.
For OpenProject 4.2, two packages existed: The OpenProject Core and Community Edition. Starting with OpenProject 5.0, both editions have been integrated into the single OpenProject package, which now contains a standard set of the most-used plugins previously contained in the Community Edition.
This guide contains two guides:
- The upgrade guide for OpenProject Core 4.2. to OpenProject 6.0
- The migration guide to OpenProject 6.0 from OpenProject Community Edition 4.2.
Please jump directly to the part of this guide depending on your OpenProject version (Core Edition or Community Edition) and operating system.
Upgrading from OpenProject Core Edition 4.2
Preliminary step: Remove the sources.list that defines the OpenProject Core Edition 4.2
To avoid trying to update the deprecated 4.2 package, remove the following entry:
sudo rm -i /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openproject.list
Debian 7.6 Wheezy 64bits server
echo "deb https://deb.packager.io/gh/opf/openproject wheezy stable/6" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openproject.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openproject
sudo openproject configure
Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty 64bits server
echo "deb https://deb.packager.io/gh/opf/openproject trusty stable/6" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openproject.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openproject
sudo openproject configure
Fedora 20 64bits server
echo "[openproject]
name=Repository for opf/openproject application.
baseurl=https://rpm.packager.io/gh/opf/openproject/fedora20/stable/6
enabled=1" | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/openproject.repo
sudo yum install openproject
sudo openproject configure
CentOS / RHEL 6 64 bits server
echo "[openproject]
name=Repository for opf/openproject application.
baseurl=https://rpm.packager.io/gh/opf/openproject/centos6/stable/6
enabled=1" | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/openproject.repo
sudo yum install openproject
sudo openproject configure
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12
sudo zypper addrepo "https://rpm.packager.io/gh/opf/openproject/sles12/stable/6" "openproject"
sudo zypper install openproject
sudo openproject configure
Migrating from OpenProject Community Edition 4.2
The openproject-ce package no longer exists, but you can migrate to the new OpenProject package, which contains all functionality that was previously contained in the Community Edition.
The following steps were tested on Ubuntu and Debian machines with OpenProject Community Edition 4.2 installed. There may be variations for other distributions, please let us know If you can provide additional information to the migration path.
Step 1: Backup existing installation
Before performing the migration, please backup your existing installation. While we will continue to use it and database migrations should run smoothly, please keep a backup at hand.
To backup attachments, database and repository, use the following command:
sudo openproject-ce run backup
Step 2: Shut down openproject-ce instance
To avoid any further changes to the application, stop the web and worker processes:
sudo openproject-ce scale web=0 worker=0
Step 3: Confirm database connection details
If you used autoinstall, the database name and database user name should equal openproject_ce. You can confirm this by running:
sudo openproject-ce config:get DATABASE_URL
If the URI contains openproject_ce as the username and database name as the example above, we can simply continue.
Otherwise, note user-, database name and password just to be sure.
Step 4: Remove the openproject-ce package
Remove the openproject-ce package from your system. For Debian/Ubuntu, run:
sudo apt-get remove openproject-ce
Step 5: Remove the sources.list that defines the Community Edition package
To avoid installing the deprecated 4.2 package, remove the following entry:
sudo rm -i /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pkgr-openproject-community.list
Step 6: Move the existing application and configuration files
As the OpenProject 6.0 package is identitical to the core in regards to paths, you'll need to reference the configuration and application (e.g., attachments, SVN repositories) files to the path that is expected from the new package.
# Move openproject-ce configuration
sudo mv /etc/openproject-ce /etc/openproject
For repositories, there are references in the database to the old /var/db/openproject-ce/svn/<repository> locations, so we suggest to symlink them instead:
# Symlink existing attachments and
sudo ln -s /var/db/openproject-ce /var/db/openproject
Step 7: Disable the Community Edition Apache2 configuration
As a final step, disable the openproject-ce configuration.
sudo a2dissite openproject-ce
Optionally, remove the disabled site. The following path applies to Debian/Ubuntu.
sudo rm -i /etc/apache2/sites-available/openproject-ce.conf
Note:
- For RedHat, the path should be changed to
/etc/httpd/conf.d/openproject-ce.conf. - For SLES, the path should be changed to
/etc/apache2/vhosts.d/openproject-ce.conf.
Step 8: Install the OpenProject 6.0 package and select database
The rest of the installation is mostly identical to the installation guide of the OpenProject 5.0 package: https://www.openproject.org/open-source/packaged-installation/packaged-installation-guide/
Add the package source to your package manager, update the sources, and install the openproject package. (See the installation guide linked above for the detailed steps for the various distributions).
Important: Instead of running openproject configure, run openproject reconfigure, which will lead you through the complete wizard.
Press OK for the following steps, which will simply take the existing values from your old configuration
- PostgreSQL IP or hostname
- PostgreSQL port
In the dialog postgresql/username, enter openproject_ce if the Database URI from Step 4 contained it. If you chose a different user name in the original CE installation, it should already be set to this value.
In the dialog postgresql/password, leave the password empty. It will use the value from your original installation. You can optionally enter the password you retrieved from the database URI from Step 4, but that should be identical.
And again, in the postgresql/db_name step, enter openproject_ce if the Database URI from Step 4 contained it. If you chose a different database name in the original CE installation, it should already be set to this value.
The other installation steps may again be skipped by pressing OK, as they should still contain the old values from the Community Edition.
There will be other new steps in the installation wizard for which we will provide additional information in the packager installation guide.
Once the wizard has completed, the OpenProject instance should be updated to 6.0.x while re-using your existing database.
