Upgrading

Download Latest Logging Made Easy (LME) Version​

  • If you already have a current version of LME in your home directory, rename it before upgrading by running:

    mv ~/LME ~/LME.old

  • Before upgrading, download the latest version of LME to your home directory:

    Note: Ensure jq and curl packages are installed on your system.

    curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/cisagov/LME/releases/latest | jq -r '.assets[0].browser_download_url' | xargs -I {} sh -c 'curl -L -O {} && unzip -d ~/LME $(basename {})'

This command will download and extract the latest LME release to your ~/LME directory.

Upgrade for Existing LME 2.0.x Users​

Note: For detailed guidance on upgrades, rollbacks, or backups of an install, reference the Extended Documentation and review the following files in your LME directory: UPGRADE_README.md, ROLLBACK_README.md, and BACKUP_README.md files.

Once you've downloaded the latest source, you can switch to the new directory and begin the upgrade process.

  • Before starting, confirm the storage path used for your containers:

    cat /etc/containers/storage.conf

  • A section like this may appear:

    #[storage]
    #driver = "overlay"
    #runroot = "/run/containers/storage"
    #graphroot = "/var/lib/containers/storage"

  • Take note of the graphroot. This is where your container data is stored.

    Note: Ensure the drive where your containers are stored has at least twice the available space before proceeding.

  • If enough space is available, answer yes when prompted by the upgrade script to back up your containers.

  • To perform the upgrade, run:

    cd ~/LME
    ansible-playbook ansible/upgrade_lme.yml

Upgrading for Existing LME 1.4 Users​

Upgrading from LME 1.x is no longer supported. You will need to perform a clean install of a 2.x version.
