Instructions for updading the requisis_Toolbox / ReqIF-Manager in Docker environment
You can find the installation guide here.
To trigger an update to a new version of the requisis_Toolbox / ReqIF-Manager perform the following steps:
- Activate the maintenance mode (from version 3.2)
Inform your users in good time. To do this, open the Administration toolbox and check the Maintenance option to switch it on. - Stop the Docker container
Stop the Docker container "requisis-toolbox-docker_server" for example with the command docker-compose down . The duration of the shutdown depends on whether jobs are still running in the background. - Edit the Tag in the .env file
Open the .env file in the root directory with an editor. In the line REQUISIS_TOOLBOX_IMAGE= at the end now change the version tag for this there are three possible variants:
The parameter REQUISIS_TOOLBOX_IMAGE was called REQIF_MANAGER_IMAGE in earlier versions. If you update to a new version, you only change the tag in the line. Do not change the parameter name!
- To update to a specific version write out the tag completely for example: 4.4.01-stable for version 4.4.01
Ex: /requisis-toolbox:4.4.01-stable - If you want to have automatic updates for your version use the following tag: 4.4-stable As soon as there is an update to version 4.4.02 you will get it automatically.
Ex: /requisis-toolbox:4.4-stable - You can also always use the latest available version. Do not use this tag if you do not wish to update to the next major version (e.g. from version 4 to 5): :
/requisis-toolbox:latest-stable
Save the file .env
- Restart the Docker containerBy running the script startDocker.sh / startDocker.cmd it will check if you are currently using the latest version configured in your .env file and update it if not. Afterwards, the Docker containers are started up again. This may take some time due to the update. As soon as you can see the requisis_Toolbox interface in the browser again, the update is complete.
- Monitor the Update
With the command docker-compose logs -f server you can follow the process of update and migration.
