fleetops-os-update v0.1.0-readme-format-2404090fc1f33de8a88400a791ca97f1bde6f61d

Overview

To perform an upgrade using this repo (with very specific parameters in terms of source and target host OS versions):

1. First, create a params file locally to use (cp params.example params)
2. Set a target commit in the created params file
3. Create a file called batch with line-separated UUIDs
4. Run ./run_preupdate.sh to confirm and prepare all devices in batch are ready for upgrade
5. If grep -i "fail\|error" preupdater.log returns no output, the update can proceed. Otherwise, some supervisor updates may be required.
6. Finally, run ./run.sh to perform the actual upgrade and reboot into the new host OS

Useful helpers

To generate a device list:

balena devices -a "${APP}" > device-list.mega.log

To create a batch file based on online status + tag:

awk '/true.*${STARTING_OS}/{print $NF}' device-list.mega.log | awk -F/ '{print $5}' | sort | shuf > mega-batch.log
for i in $(cat mega-batch.log); do balena tags --device $i | grep -q "${TAG}" && echo $i; done >> tags.log 2>/dev/null
sort -u tags.log | shuf -n "${BATCH_SIZE}" > batch

To filter out devices requiring a supervisor upgrade:

awk '/Fail: Super/{print $1}' preupdater.log > ../fleetops-supervisor-update/batch

To create a batch for supervisor updates:

awk '/${STARTING_SUPER}/{print}' device-list.mega.log | grep -f batch | awk -F/ '{print $5}' > supervisor-upgrades

To connect to a device once it returns online:

uuid="${UUID}"; until balena ssh "${uuid}" 2>/dev/null; do sleep 60; done

To monitor the incremental progress of the update:

watch -n 120 ./monitor.sh ${APP} batch
