Requirements

Ruby 3.x 3+ and Node.js x.x 20 are recommended.

Config changes

• Solr 6 configuration files removed
  Ensure solr has been upgraded to solr 9 (see instructions included in Avalon 7.6 → 7.7 upgrade notes)

• dropbox.sharepoint (options) - settings to enable sharepoint integration in dropbox modal
  See [Sharepoint Dropbox] for details about setting it up.

• ffprobe (optional) - path to ffprobe executable on Avalon server (defaults to ffprobe)

Troubleshooting

Checking that export and migration are complete
Restarting export or migrations in case of errors

Upgrade Steps

For Manual Installations

Pre-upgrade steps

1. Ensure section_list migration has been run (See https://samvera.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AVALON/pages/2580086785/Upgrading+Avalon+7.7+to+Avalon+7.8#MediaObject-Section-List-Migration)

2. Export Fedora 4 repository and migrate it to Fedora 6 OCFL

   Code Block

   cd /tmp mkdir fc4_to_fc6 cd fc4_to_fc6 # Setup Java 21+ (if needed) curl -O -L https://download.java.net/java/GA/jdk21/fd2272bbf8e04c3dbaee13770090416c/35/GPL/openjdk-21_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz tar xvzf openjdk-21_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz # Download specific version of import/export tool curl -O -L https://github.com/fcrepo-exts/fcrepo-import-export/releases/download/fcrepo-import-export-1.2.0/fcrepo-import-export-1.2.0.jar # Export from fedora 4 jdk-21/bin/java -jar fcrepo-import-export-1.2.0.jar -b --dir fcrepo4.7.5_export --user fedoraAdmin:fedoraAdmin --mode export --resource http://fedora:8080/fedora/rest --binaries --membership --auditLog > importexport_`date +%Y%m%dT%H%M%S`.log 2>&1 # Download specific build of upgrade-utils # Run migration Fedora 4 -> Fedora 5 (inside container again) jdk-21/bin/java -jar fcrepo-upgrade-utils-6.4.0-SNAPSHOT.jar --input-dir fcrepo4.7.5_export --output-dir fcrepo5_export --source-version 4.7.5 --target-version 5+ > upgrade_5_`date +%Y%m%dT%H%M%S`.log 2>&1 # Run migration Fedora 5 -> Fedora 6 jdk-21/bin/java --add-opens java.base/java.util.concurrent=ALL-UNNAMED -jar fcrepo-upgrade-utils-6.4.0-SNAPSHOT.jar --input-dir fcrepo5_export --output-dir fcrepo6_export --source-version 5+ --target-version 6+ --base-uri http://fedora:8080/fedora/rest > upgrade_6_`date +%Y%m%dT%H%M%S`.log 2>&1

3. Setup Fedora 6 (See https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/FEDORA6x/Deployment )

4. Copy migrated Fedora 6 OCFL directory to fcrepo.home and restart Fedora

Upgrade steps

1. Install ruby 3.23.x (if needed)

2. Update gems, and migrate DB

   Code Block
   bundle install --with production --without development test RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:migrate

3. Install node.js 20.x (if needed)

4. Update JS dependencies

   Code Block
   yarn install # in Avalon root dir

5. Update configuration, see Config changes above

6. Generate credentials (if needed)

   Code Block
   bundle exec rails credentials:edit

7. Restart passenger (if using)

   Code Block
   passenger-config restart-app

   Run rake migrations

   Code Block
   RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake avalon:migrate:backfill_parent_id RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake avalon:migrate:media_object_section_list

For Docker Installations

docker cp avalon-docker-aws_min_avalon_1:/home/app/avalon/storage ./active_storage_backup

aws s3 cp active_storage_backup/* s3://${SETTINGS__ACTIVE_STORAGE__BUCKET}/ --recursive 

Pre-upgrade steps

1. Ensure section_list migration has been run (See https://samvera.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AVALON/pages/2580086785/Upgrading+Avalon+7.7+to+Avalon+7.8#MediaObject-Section-List-Migration)

2. Export Fedora 4 repository and migrate it to Fedora 6 OCFL (inside avalon container)

   Code Block

   cd /tmp mkdir fc4_to_fc6 cd fc4_to_fc6 # Setup Java curl -O -L https://download.java.net/java/GA/jdk21/fd2272bbf8e04c3dbaee13770090416c/35/GPL/openjdk-21_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz tar xvzf openjdk-21_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz # Download specific version of import/export tool curl -O -L https://github.com/fcrepo-exts/fcrepo-import-export/releases/download/fcrepo-import-export-1.2.0/fcrepo-import-export-1.2.0.jar # Export from fedora 4 jdk-21/bin/java -jar fcrepo-import-export-1.2.0.jar -b --dir fcrepo4.7.5_export --user fedoraAdmin:fedoraAdmin --mode export --resource http://fedora:8080/fedora/rest --binaries --membership --auditLog > importexport_`date +%Y%m%dT%H%M%S`.log 2>&1 # Download specific build of upgrade-utils # Run migration Fedora 4 -> Fedora 5 (inside container again) jdk-21/bin/java -jar fcrepo-upgrade-utils-6.4.0-SNAPSHOT.jar --input-dir fcrepo4.7.5_export --output-dir fcrepo5_export --source-version 4.7.5 --target-version 5+ > upgrade_5_`date +%Y%m%dT%H%M%S`.log 2>&1 # Run migration Fedora 5 -> Fedora 6 jdk-21/bin/java --add-opens java.base/java.util.concurrent=ALL-UNNAMED -jar fcrepo-upgrade-utils-6.4.0-SNAPSHOT.jar --input-dir fcrepo5_export --output-dir fcrepo6_export --source-version 5+ --target-version 6+ --base-uri http://fedora:8080/fedora/rest > upgrade_6_`date +%Y%m%dT%H%M%S`.log 2>&1

3. Copy migrated data out into new fedora_data directory (outside avalon container)

   Code Block
   docker cp avalon-docker-avalon-1:/tmp/fc4_to_fc6/fcrepo6_export fedora_data

Upgrade steps

1. Stop Avalon

   Code Block
   docker-compose down

2. Update new code from avalon-docker

   Code Block
   git checkout main git pull

3. Pull new images

   Code Block
   docker-compose pull avalon solr

4. Setup fedora 6 cache database

   Code Block
   docker-compose up db -d docker-compose exec db /bin/bash /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/init-fedora-cache-db.sh docker-compose down

5. Check config changes then restart the Avalon containers

   Code Block
   docker-compose up

   Run rake migrations (inside avalon container)

   Code Block
   RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake avalon:migrate:backfill_parent_id RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake avalon:migrate:media_object_section_list

You can also build your own image, Docker Buildkit is recommended
