# Instructions for upgrading ElasticSearch ## Automatic upgrade Fab-manager release 2.6.5 has upgraded its dependency to ElasticSearch from version 1.7 to version 5.6 as the previous was unsupported for months. To keep using Fab-manager you need to upgrade your installation with the new version. We've written a script to automate the process while keeping your data integrity, but there are some requirements to understand before running it. - You need to install *curl*, *jq*, *GNU awk* and *sudo* on your system before running the script. Usually, `apt update && apt install curl jq sudo gawk`, ran as root, will do the trick but this may change, depending upon your system. - Your current user must be part of the *docker* and *sudo* groups. Using the root user is a possible alternative, but not recommended. - You'll need at least 4 GB of RAM for the data migration to complete successfully. The script will try to add 4 GB of swap memory if this requirement is detected as missing but this will consume you hard disk space (see below). - 1,2 GB of free disk space are also required to perform the data migration. Please ensure that you'll have enough space, considering the point above. The script won't run otherwise. - This script will run on any Linux or Macintoch systems if you installed ElasticSearch using docker or docker-compose. Otherwise, only Debian compatible OS (like Ubuntu) and MacOS X are supported for classical installations. On any other cases you'll need to perform the upgrade yourself manually. - If your ElasticSearch instance uses replicas shards, you can't use this script, and you must perform a manual upgrade (if you have a standard Fab-manager installation, and you don't understand what this mean, you're probably not concerned). Once you've understood all the points above, you can run the migration script with the following: ```bash cd /apps/fabmanager # do not run as root, elevation will be prompted if needed \curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sleede/fab-manager/master/scripts/elastic-upgrade.sh | bash ``` ## Manual upgrade For instructions regarding a manual upgrade, please refer to the official documentation: - https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.4/restart-upgrade.html - https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.6/restart-upgrade.html ## Restart the upgrade So something goes wrong, and the upgrade failed during ES 2.4 reindexing? Sad news, but everything isn't lost, follow this procedure to start the upgrade again. First, check the status of your indices: ```bash # Replace fabmanager_elasticsearch_1 in the next command with your container's name. # You can get it running `docker ps` ES_IP=$(docker inspect -f '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' fabmanager_elasticsearch_1) curl "$ES_IP:9200/_cat/indices?v" ``` You should get something like this: ``` health status index pri rep docs.count docs.deleted store.size pri.store.size green open fablab_24 1 0 1944 0 1mb 1mb green open stats_24 1 0 0 0 2.8mb 104b green open stats 5 0 13515 0 2.7mb 2.7mb green open fablab 5 0 1944 4 1.2mb 1.2mb ``` Here, we can see that the migration is not complete, as *docs.count* are not equal for `stat_24` and `stats`. Let's remove the bogus indices: ```bash curl -XDELETE "$ES_IP:9200/fablab_24" curl -XDELETE "$ES_IP:9200/stats_24" ``` Then, edit your [docker-compose.yml](../docker/docker-compose.yml) and change the *elasticsearch* block according to the following:
elasticsearch: image: elasticsearch:2.4 ulimits: memlock: soft: -1 hard: -1 environment: - "ES_JAVA_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx512m" volumes: - ${PWD}/elasticsearch/config:/usr/share/elasticsearch/config - ${PWD}/elasticsearch:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data restart: always |
