Hi all,

 

Although I know that it is not difficult to update or upgrade DXSpider, and thinking of those sysops that do not dare to update in case they have problems and their node is out of service, I decided to write a script to automate the update.

 

This script is written in Bash and is based on Yiannis SV5FRI's idea and code in his install script for the Mojo version.

 

The script, before updating, will make a backup copy of the spider installation that is running at that moment, in case problems arise and you want to go back to the initial version.

Then it will perform an update or upgrade, depending on whether the node is in Master or Mojo version, leaving the installation in the latest build of the Mojo branch.

The configuration and database files are maintained, although it will be requested to re-enter the basic data of the node: callsign, sysop, qth, ...

There is also the possibility to start a new database.

 

I've done a lot of tests, not all possible because I don't have a wide variety of versions/installations, because the request I made to the sysop community was devastating, no sysop sent anything. For this reason, I cannot guarantee the success of all the updates, but since we have the possibility of restoring the backup, there should not be any problem.

If any of you get to try it, I would appreciate your comments, as well as information regarding the initial version, its OS, ... for monitoring and improvement.

 

You can download it like this:

 

wget https://github.com/glaukos78/dxspider_installation_v2/archive/refs/heads/devel.zip -O dxspider_update.zip

 

I hope it can help encourage the sysops community to keep the Net updated.

 

I want to thank Yiannis, SV5FRI for his collaboration.

 

Enjoy.
