Hi to everyone,

Is there any "step by step" procedure how to upgrade Galaxy to new release? My current Galaxy release is 16.04. I would like to upgrade it to new one (17.01) without to lose my changing and installed tools.

Thanks in advance.

Maki

Hi Maki

There is no "step by step" guide, since there is just one (or two) step:

git checkout release_17.01 && git pull --ff-only origin release_17.01

and restarting the server.

You don't need to worry about your changes (e.g. the changes you have introduced to the file: 'galaxy.ini') and installed tools. These will not be reversed or deleted. Though, if you have made changes to the galaxy code, git will warn you about any potential conflicts.

If you are not familiar with all the possibilities of git, I recommend you first make a copy of your galaxy installation, so you can always go back and check, the old files. Also, make sure you have a copy of your PostgreSQL database. Well, you should have those as part of your back-ups anyway.

Of course, the update process depends on the settings of your installation. For example: are you the only user, or do you provide the Galaxy server for others. In the latter case, it is advisable to announce the upgrade and hence the galaxy downtime in advance. As it is not advisable to update the server while there are jobs running, unless you have several nodes and you do a rolling upgrade; but again, this all depends on your local set-up.

Hope this helps, Hans-Rudolf

Hi Hans-Rudolf,

Thank you very much for your answer. I thought it's much more complicated procedure.

Thanks, Maki

Hi all,

I have similar problem with galaxy upgrade. I tried to do git checkout release_17.05 && git pull --ff-only origin release_17.05. but since I have changes in some files I got error message:

Already on 'release_17.05'
From https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy
 * branch            release_17.05 -> FETCH_HEAD

        .ci/py3_sources.txt  
        ........

If I do git status:

        ......
        no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

My question is which step should I perform before upgrade? Should I do git add -A && git commit first and than git pull or git stash, git pull and git stash pop??? I know only git basics and therefore I am not sure which step should I perform first?

Thanks, Marija
