## 4. Update Procedures

### 4.1 Enter Maintenance Mode & Prepare Meilisearch

```bash
cd /var/www/html
php artisan down
```

**Meilisearch Update:**
```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo systemctl stop meilisearch
sudo curl -L https://install.meilisearch.com | sudo sh
sudo mv ./meilisearch /usr/local/bin/
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/meilisearch
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/meilisearch/data
```
Proceed with the following command:

> **Note:**
> This step had to be repeated.

```bash
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/meilisearch
sudo systemctl start meilisearch
```

### 4.2 Update PHP to 8.4

Add PHP Repository & Update Package Lists:

```bash
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt update
```

Backup Current PHP Packages & Install PHP 8.4:

```bash
sudo dpkg -l | grep php | tee ~/tempBackup/packages.txt
sudo apt install php8.4-common php8.4-cli php8.4-fpm php8.4-{redis,bcmath,curl,dev,gd,igbinary,intl,mbstring,mysql,opcache,readline,xml,zip}
```

**NGINX Configuration Update:**
1. Edit Nginx configuration file::

```bash
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
```

2. Update the `fastcgi_pass` directive to use the PHP 8.4 socket

> **Note:**  
> Locate the line  
> ```nginx
> fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/***.sock;
> ```  
> and replace `***` with your site’s identifier.  

For example, to point to the PHP 8.4 FPM socket:

```nginx
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.4-fpm.sock;
```
Save and exit the editor.

3. Test the Nginx configuration:
```bash
sudo nginx -t
```

4. Restart Nginx and PHP-FPM, and Remove PHP 8.3:

```bash
sudo nginx -t
sudo systemctl restart nginx
sudo systemctl restart php8.4-fpm 
sudo systemctl stop php8.3-fpm
sudo apt purge '^php8.3.*'
php -v
```

### 4.3 Update UNIT3D

```bash
cd /var/www/html
php artisan git:update
```

### 4.4 Database Migration Fix

During the update, you might encounter an error related to the tickets table

**Resolve NULL values in tickets table:**

1. Log in to MySQL:

```bash
mysql -u your_username -p
```

When prompted, enter your MySQL password. Once logged in, select the appropriate database by running:

```bash
USE your_database_name;
```

1. Fix the Null Values:

 Run the following SQL command to update any null entries in the `staff_read` column to 0:

```sql
UPDATE tickets SET staff_read = 0 WHERE staff_read IS NULL;
```

9. Exit MySQL:

```sql
exit;
```

2. Complete migrations:
```bash
php artisan migrate
```

---

## 5. Final Reset & Cleanup

**After updating and migrating, run the following commands to clear caches, reinstall dependencies, rebuild assets, and restart services:**

```bash
sudo -u www-data composer install --prefer-dist --no-dev -o && \
sudo php artisan cache:clear && \
sudo php artisan queue:clear && \
sudo php artisan auto:email-blacklist-update && \
sudo php artisan auto:cache_random_media && \
sudo php artisan set:all_cache && \
bun install && \
bun run build && \
sudo php artisan migrate && \
sudo systemctl restart php8.4-fpm && \
sudo php artisan queue:restart && \
sudo supervisorctl reread && \
sudo supervisorctl update && \
sudo supervisorctl reload && \
sudo php artisan scout:sync-index-settings && \
sudo php artisan auto:sync_torrents_to_meilisearch --wipe && \
sudo php artisan auto:sync_people_to_meilisearch
```

**Finally, finish the update and bring your site back online:**
```bash
sudo php artisan scout:sync-index-settings && \
sudo php artisan auto:sync_torrents_to_meilisearch --wipe && \
sudo php artisan auto:sync_people_to_meilisearch && \
sudo php artisan set:all_cache && \
sudo systemctl restart php8.4-fpm && \
sudo php artisan queue:restart && \
sudo php artisan up
```
