Need help Updating Bitnami installer for Youtrack Stack

tomwaitforitmy 2018-11-07 10:17:34 UTC #1

We are currently using this stack https://bitnami.com/stack/youtrack

It comes with Youtrack 2017.2 including a guide how to upgrade Youtrack to newer versions. However, after YouTrack 2018.1 that guide does not work anymore cause the internal Youtrack App changed. Here you can find a ticket on the Jetbrains Youtrack: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JT-49551

We would be happy, if there was a manual way to Upgrade Youtrack, but Jetbrains suggested to raise a ticket here and fix the Bitnami installer (see details in the ticket mentioned above).

Sorry, for some reason I can't find the edit button for my post. Only for the summary....

The ticket mentioned above contains a detailed description how to reproduce the issue with upgrading Youtrack.

Hi @tomwaitforitmy,

Did you change any configuration files? Did you load the Bitnami console before running the commands?

Hi @michiel

everything exactly like described in the Youtrack ticket:
1. Download and install Bitnami + YouTrack Version 2017.2 (https://bitnami.com/redirect/to/320537/youtrack-2017.2.32582-6-windows-installer.exe)
2. Download YouTrack 2018.3 Jar file (https://www.jetbrains.com/youtrack/download/download-thanks.html?platform=javaEE)
3. Shutdown Youtrack Service and Apache (using Bitnami\youtrack-2017.2.32582-5\manager-windows.exe)
4. Copy YouTrack-2018.3.jar to Bitnami\youtrack-\apps\youtrack
5. Rename Bitnami\youtrack-\apps\youtrack\youtrack.jar to youtrack-.jar
6. Rename youtrack-2018.3.jar to youtrack.jar
7. Restart Apache and YouTrack via Bitnami (using Bitnami\youtrack-2017.2.32582-5\manager-windows.exe)

This is the first time I hear about the Bitnami Console. Sorry, I was always very happy with the simple installer and the manager-windows.exe and don't know much about Bitnami itself and the possibilities/configuration.

Best Regards,
Thomas

Hi @tomwaitforitmy,

We can also reproduce the issue that is described in the Jetbrains Youtrack forum. In order to solve it we will need to investigate it in more depth.

We will post it here as soon as we find a solution.

Thanks for reporting it.

Best regards,
Andrés Bono.

Hi @tomwaitforitmy,

YouTrack changed internally from one version to another and I think it is not possible to just replace the .jar file. Instead, you will need to follow a backup and restore process. Here are the steps I followed to do that:

I launched two AWS Debian images and installed two different versions of YouTrack as root user:

2017.2.32582-6: mentioned in the YouTrack forum.
2018.4.49168-0: latest release at this moment at bitnami.com. Did nothing (neither passed the configuration wizard), only install it.

I generated a new test Project and two issues on the old YouTrack version (one of them including an image, to test data migration). Did a database backup of the old YouTrack by clicking in the “Administration” > “Database Backup” menu. Downloaded this database backup from /opt/bitnami/apps/youtrack/youtrack_home/teamsysdata-backup and updated it to the new YouTrack server to the same location (I previously created that folder and set youtrack user as the owner and group).

After that, I visited the URL of the latest YouTrack instance and passed the configuration wizard selecting “Upgrade” after passing the token step. There, I selected the .tar.gz database backup file I previously uploaded.

After that, I configured the “Base URL” parameter with the new instance public IP address and accepted the YouTrack trial license. Then, the application started the configuration process and I could log in using the login credentials I was using on the old version instance.

I also checked that the test project, test issues and image I used in the old version were properly migrated to the new one.

Hope it helps,
Gonzalo
