Prepare for upgrading ThingsBoard (CentOS, Ubuntu)
Stop ThingsBoard
Check if ThingsBoard and database services are running
Initially ThingsBoard, check status to ensure it is stopped and then databases.
1
| sudo systemctl stop thingsboard
|
1
| sudo systemctl status thingsboard
|
Backup Database
Make a backup of the database before upgrading.
PostgreSQL
Check PostgreSQL status. It is unnecessary to stop PostgreSQL for the backup.
1
| sudo systemctl status postgresql
|
Make sure you have enough space to place a backup of the database
Check database size
1
| sudo -u postgres psql -c "SELECT pg_size_pretty( pg_database_size('thingsboard') );"
|
Check free space
If there is enough free space - make a backup.
1
| sudo -Hiu postgres pg_dump thingsboard > thingsboard.sql.bak
|
Check backup file being created.
Cassandra
Check Cassandra status. It is necessary to stop Cassandra for the backup.
1
| sudo systemctl status cassandra
|
Flush all memtables from the node to SSTables on disk.
Stop Cassandra.
1
| sudo systemctl stop cassandra
|
And you have to check the status again to ensure they are surely stopped.
1
| sudo systemctl status cassandra
|
Make sure you have enough space to place a backup of the database
Check database size.
1
| du -h /var/lib/cassandra/ | tail -1
|
Check free space.
Make a backup of Cassandra database.
1
2
| mkdir backup
sudo tar -cvf backup/cassandra.tar /var/lib/cassandra
|
Check archive being created
Start Database
Cassandra
1
| sudo systemctl start cassandra
|
PostgreSQL
Do nothing, postgresql is already running.
