UPDATING HELPY

In the default monolithic configuration, Helpy is a fairly standard Ruby on Rails app. Updating to a new version requires several steps. There are two main places you might want to get updates from:

  1. The master branch, which is generally stable but is where most dev work happens and should be considered to be an edge version. If you want to get the latest bleeding edge updates, pull from master
  2. The release branches. Here you can use the release/stable or specific version updates: ie release/2.4.2 or release/2.5.0

Updating the community edition:

Whether you run the open source community edition or the cloud edition, start by updating the base app:

  1. Get the latest version: git pull

  2. Update bundled gems: bundle install

  3. Run any new migrations, and update the assets: RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile

  4. Restart the webserver.

Cloud Edition

If you are running the cloud edition, perform the following additional steps:

  1. Update the cloud gem. The major version should match the Helpy core major version. bundle update helpy_cloud

  2. Run the cloud installer: rails g helpy_cloud:install

  3. Update assets: RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile

  4. Restart webserver
