Prepare for upgrading ThingsBoard Edge
Back up your ThingsBoard Edge data before upgrading.
Stop the Edge container
Navigate to your docker-compose.yml directory and stop the container:
1
docker compose stop
Backup the 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 copies all contents from tb-edge-postgres-data to tb-edge-postgres-data-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
Upgrading Edge CE to 4.1.0
Ensure your ThingsBoard Server is up to date before updating ThingsBoard Edge.
If your Server version is outdated, upgrade it first.
The following instructions are applicable for ThingsBoard Edge 4.0.1EDGE version.
These steps are applicable for Edge 4.0.1EDGE version.
Set the terminal in the directory which contains the “docker-compose.yml” file, and run the following command to stop and remove the currently running TB Edge container (if it’s still running):
1
docker compose stop mytbedge
Modify the main docker compose file (docker-compose.yml) for ThingsBoard Edge and update the image version:
1
sed -i 's|thingsboard/tb-edge:4.0.1EDGE|thingsboard/tb-edge:4.1.0EDGE|' docker-compose.yml
Upgrade the ThingsBoard Edge service:
1
docker compose run mytbedge upgrade-tb-edge.sh
