We recommend always running from a release tag rather than the main branch. You can check which branch you are on by going git branch in the Kanka root folder on your machine (not in docker).
When a new version of Kanka is released, from your host machine you want to do git pull to get the newest updates. Updates usually include changes to the database, so run the following to run the migrations:
When updating your local installation, we recommend checkout out each tag chronologically in order to safely update your data.
⚠️ Warning Never ever checkout the@developbranch as it is unstable and will break your installation.
We strongly recommend backing up your database data before running any upgrade. You can create a backup of your data by running the following command. Note that this backup command is only available from version 1.44 and onward.
sail artisan backup:runThis will create a gzip file in storage/app/{app_name}/{date}.zip
In your project's root folder, run the following command to checkout a specific tag, in this example version 1.42.
git checkout tags/2.0 -b 2.0Then run the update instructions of version 1.42. These updates are found in the project's "Releases" on GitHub.
Once that's done, checkout version 1.43 by running:
git checkout tags/2.0 -b 2.0And run the update instructions of version 1.43. Repeat until you are running the latest version.
