Update MythicalDash

This documentation covers the process for updating within the 3.x series of releases. This means updating from — for example — 3.0.0 to 3.1.0

Take a backup​

So first we are goign to take a backup of the dash and the database structure using: 

cd /var/www/mythicaldash
mariadb-dump -p mythicaldash > mythicaldash_backup.sql
cd /var/www
zip -r clientbackup.zip mythicaldash/

Download the Update​

The first step in the update process is to download the new client files from GitHub. The command below will download the release archive for the most recent version of MythicalDash.

cd /var/www/mythicaldash
curl -Lo MythicalDash.zip https://github.com/mythicalltd/mythicaldash/releases/latest/download/MythicalDash.zip
unzip -o MythicalDash.zip -d /var/www/mythicaldash
dos2unix arch.bash
sudo bash arch.bash
rm /var/www/mythicaldash/public/FIRST_USER # Remove this

Update Dependencies​

After you've downloaded all of the new files you will need to upgrade the core components of the dash. To do this, simply run the commands below and follow any prompts.

composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader

Database Updates​

You'll also need to update your database schema for the newest version of MythicalDash.

./MythicalDash -migrate

Set Permissions​

The last step is to set the proper owner of the files to be the user that runs your webserver. In most cases this is www-data but can vary from system to system — sometimes being nginx, caddy, apache, or even nobody.

# If using NGINX or Apache (not on CentOS):
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/mythicaldash/*

Done​

You are done, and now you should be running the latest version of MythicalDash.
