I installed TeamCity for personal use on Ubuntu Linux, and I’d like to upgrade

  • 0

I installed TeamCity for personal use on Ubuntu Linux, and I’d like to upgrade it. However, the procedure to do it seems a bit messy to me. My undestanding is that I should:
– Backup everything
– Delete everything
– Re-install Teamcity from scratch
– Reinstall all extra drivers, plugins, etc.

That’s way too “manual” and time consuming for my taste, the risk of leaving something behind is too high. Is there a safer way to do the upgrade, which doesn’t involve reinstallation?

Thanks in advance for all contributions.

    If you have typical installation (Data and custom plugins located in ~/.BuildServer, nothing edited in TeamCity installation files) you can just:

    • Backup server data via WebUI
    • Stop server

    or this two steps can be replaced with

    • Stop server
    • Backup server data via maintainDB.sh

    Then

    • Delete TeamCity installation directory (Data will not be deleted)
    • Untar TeamCity-???.tar.gz
    • Start server

    Complete information about server upgrade can be found in documentation.
