Update Process

Hello,


EVERY TIME and i mean "EVERY TIME" a new version is out and i need to update iam afraid.....

I have NEVER get i done.

Every time i reinstalled an make all Folder in the config again.
On 2.0 --> 2.1 i do this, too.
Now i have so many users acc, folders and so on. I would like to have this in the new version, too.

The libary is not THAT important, i can resacn. But hof to save the config file?

I am on linux and have a startscript that liks to /opt/serviio. The serviio is linked to the Main folder eg. /opt/serviio-2.1/ in thsi case i can easy switch to the new version.

But HOW can i backup my config? in the wiki is nothing listed, too.

OK,

now i seams t get it Working.

Somewhere in the FAQ was an hint about "Delete all folders exept libary and plugin". But i don't like to override the files. So i make a new folder.

switch to root:

  Code:

sudo -i

Switch to the opt Folder:

  Code:

cd /opt

downlaoded the last version.

  Code:

wget https://download.serviio.org/releases/serviio-2.2-linux.tar.gz

Unpack it.

  Code:

unp serviio-2.2-linux.tar.gz

remove the download

  Code:

rm serviio-2.2-linux.tar.gz

Stop the Service

  Code:

service serviio stop

Than copy ONLY libary. Plugins is empty on my config.

  Code:

cp -r serviio-2.1/library serviio-2.2

Set user pi (on my system pi is the user vor serviio). after unpack an unknown user is the owner.

  Code:

chown -R pi:pi serviio-2.2

and make a new link.

  Code:

ln -sfn /opt/serviio-2.2 /opt/serviio

now restart the Service

  Code:

service serviio start

All run like normal and Worked.



Maybe someone kann fill this in the How-to part of the Wiki? that was the first point of view i tryed.

PS: i run an Debian (raspbian) system.
