Fundraising/tech/crm/Upgrade CiviCRM
Upgrading CiviCRM
- First, make sure you have core set up as a git repo within your wmf. If you don't have it yet (cd core/ && git init git && remote add origin https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core).
- Then pull in the relevant branch like (git fetch 6.nn & git reset --hard origin/6.nn), then git add /core
- Now you should see the changes in you main wmf repo. You may need to adjust PHPStorm settings to unregister the directory mapping for core.
- You'll have to do the same for /packages for updates to civicrm-packages.
- Commit and git review as normal.
Composer: You may also want to do composer updates, see Fundraising/Cluster/Deployments for details.
Deploying a CiviCRM upgrade
Please note that your particular upgrade may require additional precautions or other action, see the CiviCRM release notes for details.
- Shut down all process-control jobs which depend on the CRM. Just turn 'em all off if you're feeling lazy.
- Verify database backups are current.
- Deploy new wikimedia/fundraising/crm code.
- Beyond this point, know that you cannot recover safely without doing a full database restore...
- Run the database updates:
cv updb
- Turn jobs on again, slowly and carefully.
