Squest upgrade

This documentation aims at explaining how to perform an upgrade of squest on new release.

Note

Read the changelog and release note of the version before performing any update to know what are the breaking changes or specific requirements of the new release.

Note

We recommend performing a manual backup before any upgrade. See the dedicated backup doc

Using Docker compose

Stop all containers that use the Squest image 

docker-compose kill django celery-worker celery-beat

Starting from here, the maintenance page should appear automatically in place of the Squest app.

Pull the new image 

docker pull quay.io/hewlettpackardenterprise/squest:<version>

E.g 

docker pull quay.io/hewlettpackardenterprise/squest:latest

Start back containers 

docker-compose start django celery-worker celery-beat

Using Kubernetes

Change the Squest image version in the inventory 

squest_django:
  image: quay.io/hewlettpackardenterprise/squest:<version>

Run the update playbook 

ansible-playbook -v -i inventory update.yml

The playbook will:

  • Redirect the traffic to maintenance page
  • Rollout Django containers with the new image
  • Execute database migration
  • Restore traffic to Squest once the app is back available
