Updating a SORMAS Server

SORMAS releases starting from 1.21.0 contain a script that automatically updates and deploys the server. If you are using an older version and therefore need to do a manual server update, please download the 1.21.0 release files and use the commands specified in the server-update.sh script.

Preparations

Note: You can skip this step if you've just set up your SORMAS server and have already downloaded the latest release.

• Get the latest release files (deploy.zip) from https://github.com/hzi-braunschweig/SORMAS-Open/releases/latest
• Unzip the archive and copy/upload its contents to /root/deploy/sormas/$(date +%F)

  cd /root/deploy/sormas
  SORMAS_VERSION=1.y.z
  wget https://github.com/hzi-braunschweig/SORMAS-Project/releases/download/v${SORMAS_VERSION}/sormas_${SORMAS_VERSION}.zip
  unzip sormas_${SORMAS_VERSION}.zip
  mv deploy/ $(date +%F)
  rm sormas_${SORMAS_VERSION}.zip
  

  Automatic Server Update

  • Navigate to the folder containing the unzipped deploy files: cd /root/deploy/sormas/$(date +%F)
  • Make the update script executable: chmod +x server-update.sh
  • Optional: Open server-update.sh in a text editor to customize the values for e.g. the domain path or the database name. You only need to do this if you used custom values while setting up the server.
  • Execute the update script and follow the instructions: ./server-update.sh
  • If anything goes wrong, open the latest update log file (by default located in the "update-logs" folder in the domain directory) and check it for errors.

Restoring the Database

If anything goes wrong during the automatic database update process when deploying the server, you can use the following command to restore the data:

pg_restore --clean -U postgres -Fc -d sormas_db sormas_db_....dump

Default Logins
