How to update OH2 on Synology and save all settings?

2

Hi,
If that can help you, here is the script that Iā€™m using to upgrade my OH2 on synology DSM6 to the latest snapshot.
This script is saved in my public/OpenHAB2 folder (where addons & conf directories are)

The steps are quite simple:

  1. Stop Openhab2 package

  2. Run the sh script as root user

  3. Start Openhab2 package

PUBLIC_CONF="/volume1/public/OpenHAB2/conf"
PUBLIC_ADDONS="/volume1/public/OpenHAB2/addons"
SYNOPKG_PKGDEST="/volume1/@appstore/OpenHAB2"


# backup current installation with settings
TIMESTAMP=`date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S`;
sudo mv ${SYNOPKG_PKGDEST} /${SYNOPKG_PKGDEST}-backup-$TIMESTAMP

# download new version (please replace URL)
cd /tmp
wget https://openhab.ci.cloudbees.com/job/openHAB-Distribution/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/distributions/openhab-online/target/openhab-online-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.zip
sudo 7z x openhab-online-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.zip -o${SYNOPKG_PKGDEST}
rm openhab-online-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.zip

# restore configuration and userdata

#sudo cp -arv /volume1/@appstore/OpenHAB2-backup-$TIMESTAMP/conf /volume1/@appstore/OpenHAB2/
sudo cp -arv ${SYNOPKG_PKGDEST}-backup-$TIMESTAMP/userdata ${SYNOPKG_PKGDEST}/

#if configdir exists in public folder -> create a symbolic link
  if [ -d ${PUBLIC_CONF} ]; then
    rm -r ${SYNOPKG_PKGDEST}/conf
    ln -s ${PUBLIC_CONF} ${SYNOPKG_PKGDEST}
  fi

  #if public addons dir exists in public folder -> create a symbolic link
  if [ -d ${PUBLIC_ADDONS} ]; then
    rm -r ${SYNOPKG_PKGDEST}/addons
    ln -s ${PUBLIC_ADDONS} ${SYNOPKG_PKGDEST}
  fi

# fix permissions
sudo chown -hR openhab2:users ${SYNOPKG_PKGDEST}

BUT be aware that since a few days, the OH2 folder structure has changed a bit and Iā€™ve NOT validated this script with the new folders structure. So letā€™s say that the script is fine with OH2B4 and previous :wink:

Thank you for your script.
Im not experienced script user, can you tell is it will work with latest oh2 snapshot?

Is it possible to add this script to synology package center start-stop-remove menu as new menu item ā€œupdateā€?

Hi,
Iā€™m using this script when I want to upgrade to the latest snapshot (this is the refered URL in the command WGET)
This command tell which package to download. In this case, the latest successfull build of the OH2 online distro. But you can change this URL if you prefer the offline distro or what ever version of OH2.

Iā€™ve recently and sucessfully used it with the new ā€œdisruptiveā€ updates of OH2 like:

To be complete, Iā€™ll update the script to clear tmp and cache.

Regarding your question to integrate this upgrade script in the syno package, it would really be a good point. However, @cniweb is managing the syno package and as far as I know, the syno package is not yet u-pt-odate with OH2 B4 version or latest version. I guess @cniweb is working on it but donā€™t hesitate to introduce your request on https://github.com/openhab/openhab-syno-spk

# Remove tmp, logs & cache dirs

if [ -d ${SYNOPKG_PKGDEST}/userdata/tmp ]; then
	rm -r -f ${SYNOPKG_PKGDEST}/userdata/tmp
fi
if [ -d ${SYNOPKG_PKGDEST}/userdata/cache ]; then
	rm -r -f ${SYNOPKG_PKGDEST}/userdata/cache
fi
if [ -d ${SYNOPKG_PKGDEST}/userdata/log ]; then
	rm -r -f ${SYNOPKG_PKGDEST}/userdata/log
