App Update Command

Requirements

• The disable_functions php.ini directive must not be set. System update makes use of functions such as proc_open, exec and others.
• The following CLI applications must be installed on the server: mysqldump, tar. They will be searched for via the PATH environment variable.

How It Works

1. Pre-flight Checks
   Several checks are performed to ensure that the help desk is able to safely update to a new version. These checks include, but are not limited to:
   • Sufficient disk space available.
   • Files are owned by the same user/group as the user running the command.
   • The file system is not read-only.
   • The license is permitted to update to the new version.
2. Download Release
   The release is downloaded and file verification checks are made to ensure it's not been tampered with.
3. Backup
   A full backup of the help desk is taken as described at Backup and Restore.
4. Extract Release
   Maintenance mode is enabled on the help desk and the release is extracted overwriting the existing files in the installation directory.
5. Database Upgrades
   The app:upgrade command is used to perform database upgrades and complete the update. Maintenance mode is also disabled.
