Preparations

Before doing anything to the running installation, the config file for the new installation should be prepared by following these steps:

  1. Retrieve the values.yaml file that you have used previously, or if you want to start from scratch, you extract it from the installation by running these commands:

    Code Block
    helm -n <namespace> get all <helm name>
E.g:
helm -n uepe get all uepe

    Where uepe is the helm name you have selected for your installation. You will see list similar to the one below.

    Code Block
    helm list
NAME         	NAMESPACE	REVISION	UPDATED                                 	STATUS  	CHART                             	APP VERSION
external-dns 	uepe     	1       	2024-05-08 15:27:48.258978207 +0200 CEST	deployed	external-dns-7.2.0                	0.14.1     
ingress-nginx	uepe     	1       	2024-05-08 16:18:43.919980224 +0200 CEST	deployed	ingress-nginx-4.10.0              	1.10.0     
uepe         	uepe     	3       	2024-05-10 14:16:17.724426589 +0200 CEST	deployed	usage-engine-private-edition-4.0.0	4.0.0

  2. Extract the values manually from the output. Copy the lines below “USER-SUPPLIED VALUES:” and stop at the blank line before “COMPUTED VALUES:”. Save the copied content to the config file valuesFromSystem.yaml.

  3. Update helm repository to get the latest helm chart versions by running the following command.

    Code Block
    helm repo list
helm repo update

  4. Retrieve the new version from the repository by running the following command. Refer to Release Information for the Helm Chart version.

    Code Block
    helm fetch <repo name>/usage-engine-private-edition --version <version> --untar

    For example:

    Code Block
    helm fetch digitalroute/usage-engine-private-edition --version 4.0.0 --untar

  5. Next, check the file CHANGELOG.md inside the created folder to find out what may have changed in the new version when it comes to the values-file.
    If you are uncertain about how to interpret the content of the file, see below for some examples of keys and how to interpret them:

    Code Block
    The following values have been removed:
* ```mzOperator.clusterWide```
* ```mzOperator.experimental.performPeriodicWorkflowCleanup```
* ```jmx.remote```
* ```platform.debug.jmx```

    means that in the values file they should be entered as:

    Code Block
    mzOperator:
  clusterWide:
  experimental:
    performPeriodicWorkflowCleanup
jmx:
  remote:
platform:
  debug:
    jmx:

    Each part of the key does not necessarily follow directly after the previous one, but always before any other “parent” on the same level. So in this example of a values.yaml file:

    Code Block
    debug:
  script:
    enabled: false
  log:
    level:
      codeserver: info
      jetty: 'off'
      others: warn

    an example of a key could be debug.log.level.jetty.

  6. Make any necessary updates based on changed field you may be using in the valuesFromSystem.yaml file you got from the existing installation so it matches the new version.

  7. Take note of any fields that have been deprecated or removed since the last version so any configuration of those fields can be replaced.

Note

Note!

Before proceeding with the upgrade make sure :

  • you logged in and have access the container registry.

  • you have a valid image pull secret that allows the Kubernetes cluster to pull the container images from the container registry.

  • update the Image Pull Secret (if needed) to the valuesFromSystem.yaml file.

  • update the License Key for the upgrade version to the valuesFromSystem.yaml file.

  1. When you have updated the valuesFromSystem.yaml file you can test it by running this command:

Code Block
helm upgrade --install uepe digitalroute/usage-engine-private-edition --atomic --cleanup-on-fail --version 4.0.0 -n uepe -f valuesFromSystem.yaml --dry-run=server
