Before upgrading ThingsBoard Edge, ensure that ThingsBoard Server is updated to the latest version.

Additionally, verify that the ThingsBoard Edge and ThingsBoard Server versions are compatible.

Version Compatibility Rules:

• ThingsBoard Edge version X.Y.Z works with the ThingsBoard Server version X.Y.Z and the next two versions.

ThingsBoard Edge 3.8.0 works with ThingsBoard Server 3.8.0 and two later versions (3.9.0 and 3.9.1). You can view the ThingsBoard Server Release Notes here.

• ThingsBoard Edge version X.Y.Z does not work with older ThingsBoard Server versions.

ThingsBoard Edge 3.9.1 does not support ThingsBoard Server 3.8.0 or any earlier versions. In such cases, the ThingsBoard Server must be upgraded to the latest version first.

If you run an older version of ThingsBoard Edge (e.g., version 3.6.0), the ThingsBoard team cannot guarantee the availability or proper functioning of all features.

Prepare for upgrading ThingsBoard Edge

To ensure data integrity during the upgrade, back up your ThingsBoard Edge data.

The backup process may vary depending on your installation method (Docker, Linux service, Windows, etc.). Follow the instructions below based on your environment.

Ubuntu/CentOS/Raspberry Pi

To ensure that no data is written to the database during the upgrade process, stop the ThingsBoard Edge service:

1
sudo systemctl stop tb-edge

Backup database

To avoid potential data loss, create a backup of the database before upgrading.

Make sure your system has enough free space to store the backup.

Check the current size of the database:

1
sudo -u postgres psql -c "SELECT pg_size_pretty( pg_database_size('tb_edge') );"

Check available free disk space:

1
df -h /

Create the backup (if sufficient space is available):

1
sudo -Hiu postgres pg_dump tb_edge > tb_edge.sql.bak

Verify that the backup file was created successfully:

1
ls -lh tb_edge.sql.bak

Restore the backup (if needed)

Stop the ThingsBoard Edge service (if it’s still running):

1
sudo systemctl stop tb-edge

To restore the PostgreSQL database from a backup file, run the following command:

1
 sudo -u postgres psql tb_edge < tb_edge.sql.bak

Start the ThingsBoard Edge service:

1
sudo systemctl start tb-edge

Docker (Linux or Mac OS)

Go to the directory that contains the docker-compose.yml file, and run the following command to stop the currently running ThingsBoard Edge container:

1
docker compose stop

If you are still using docker-compose (with a hyphen), it is recommended to update your stack to match the latest documentation.

Backup database volume

Before upgrading, make a backup copy of the database volume:

1
docker run --rm -v tb-edge-postgres-data:/source -v tb-edge-postgres-data-backup:/backup busybox sh -c "cp -a /source/. /backup"

This command uses a temporary BusyBox container to copy all contents from the tb-edge-postgres-data volume into the tb-edge-postgres-data-backup volume.

Backup database bind mount folder (deprecated)

If you are still using Docker bind mount folders (instead of named volumes), make sure to back up the database folder before proceeding with the upgrade:

1
sudo cp -r ~/.mytb-edge-data/db ~/.mytb-edge-db-BACKUP

Restore the backup (if needed)

Stop the ThingsBoard Edge container (if it’s still running):

1
docker compose stop

To restore data from a backup volume to the main volume, run the following command:

1
docker run --rm -v tb-edge-postgres-data-backup:/source -v tb-edge-postgres-data:/target busybox sh -c "cp -a /source/. /target"

Start the ThingsBoard Edge container:

1
docker compose up -d 

Windows

Stop the ThingsBoard Edge service:

1
net stop tb-edge

Backup Database

• Launch pgAdmin and log in as the postgres superuser.
• Open your server and create the backup of the tb_edge database using pgAdmin’s “Backup Dialog” functionality.

Upgrading to 4.0.1EDGE

Please make sure that ThingsBoard Server version is 4.0.1 or above before updating ThingsBoard Edge to this version.

Migrating Data from Docker Bind Mount Folders to Docker Volumes

Starting with the 3.6.2EDGE release, the ThingsBoard team has moved from using Docker bind mount folders to Docker volumes. The goal of this change is to improve security and efficiency when storing data for Docker containers, and to mitigate permissions issues in different environments.

To migrate from Docker bind mounts to Docker volumes, please execute the following commands:

1
2
3
docker run --rm -v tb-edge-data:/volume -v ~/.mytb-edge-data:/backup busybox sh -c "cp -a /backup/. /volume"
docker run --rm -v tb-edge-logs:/volume -v ~/.mytb-edge-logs:/backup busybox sh -c "cp -a /backup/. /volume"
docker run --rm -v tb-edge-postgres-data:/volume -v ~/.mytb-edge-data/db:/backup busybox sh -c "cp -a /backup/. /volume"

After the data migration to the newly created Docker volumes is complete, you’ll need to update the volume mounts in your Docker Compose configuration. Modify the `docker-compose.yml’ file for ThingsBoard Edge to update the volume settings.

First, please update docker compose file version. Find the next snippet:

1
2
version: '3.0'
...

And replace it with:

1
version: '3.8'

Then update the volume mounts. Locate the following snippet:

1
2
3
4
    volumes:
      - ~/.mytb-edge-data:/data
      - ~/.mytb-edge-logs:/var/log/tb-edge
...

And replace it with:

1
2
3
    volumes:
      - tb-edge-data:/data
      - tb-edge-logs:/var/log/tb-edge

Apply a similar update to the PostgreSQL service. Locate the section:

1
2
3
    volumes:
      - ~/.mytb-edge-data/db:/var/lib/postgresql/data
...

And replace it with:

1
2
    volumes:
      - tb-edge-postgres-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data

Finally, add the following volume section to the end of the file:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
volumes:
  tb-edge-data:
    name: tb-edge-data
  tb-edge-logs:
    name: tb-edge-logs
  tb-edge-postgres-data:
    name: tb-edge-postgres-data

Backup Database

Before upgrading, make a copy of the database volume:

1
docker run --rm -v tb-edge-postgres-data:/source -v tb-edge-postgres-data-backup:/backup busybox sh -c "cp -a /source/. /backup"

The next step creates a docker compose file for the ThingsBoard Edge upgrade process and runs the upgrade. Once the upgrade process is successfully completed, the TB Edge upgrade container is automatically stopped:
