Updating UNIT3D

Update UNIT3D to the latest version by reviewing the release notes and following the steps below:

1. Create Backup:

UNIT3D offers built-in backups. Refer to the Backups documentation for usage.

[!IMPORTANT] Ensure there is a complete backup before proceeding.

2. Enter Maintenance Mode:

cd /var/www/html
php artisan down

3. Update UNIT3D:

[!NOTE] Before running the update, review the new release’s minimum requirements to ensure the environment meets them.

1. Proceed to update:

   The updater will fetch the latest commits from the upstream repository and stage them for installation.

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

   There will be a prompt to confirm each step; choose yes to overwrite with the new version.

   Start the update process (yes/no) [yes]:
   > yes
   

2. Accept upstream files:

   When prompted for each changed file, type yes to overwrite the local copy or press Enter to accept the default shown in brackets.

   Update config/unit3d.php (yes/no) [yes]:
   > yes
   
   git checkout origin/master -- config/unit3d.php
   [============================] (Done!)
   

3. Run new migrations:

   Run new migrations (php artisan migrate) (yes/no) [yes]:
   > yes
   

4. Install new packages:

   Install new packages (composer install) (yes/no) [yes]:
   > yes
   

5. Compile assets:

   Compile assets (bun run build) (yes/no) [yes]:
   > yes
   

Troubleshooting Clean-up:

The following commands are optional and should be run only as needed to resolve specific errors:

• Finish any migrations not completed:

sudo php artisan migrate

• Reinstall dependencies:

• Clear caches:

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

• Rebuild static assets:

sudo bun install && sudo bun run build

• Restart services:

sudo systemctl restart php8.4-fpm && \
sudo php artisan queue:restart && \
sudo php artisan up

• If running external UNIT3D-Announce, restart the supervisor services:
