Upgrade Guide from v3.1.0 to v3.1.1

This guide explains how to upgrade from IDSTower v3.1.0 to v3.1.1, to upgrade please follow the below steps.

Note

v3.1.1 is a patch release and does not change the database schema. The backup in step 2 is still recommended, but no schema migration runs on the first start.

  1. Stop your IDSTower service

$ sudo systemctl stop idstower.service

  1. Take a full backup of your current IDSTower database

$ sudo mysqldump -B [DatabaseName] -u [DatabaseUsername] -p > IDSTower_backup_`date +%F_%H_%M_%S`.sql

.. note::
   Replace `[DatabaseName]` and `[DatabaseUsername]` with your actual database name and username, you can find these details in your IDSTower configuration file located at `/opt/idstower/appsettings.json`

  1. Take a backup of your IDSTower directory (including settings)

$ sudo cp -Rp /opt/idstower /opt/idstower_3.1.0_backup_`date +%F_%H_%M_%S`
