Axigen patches update script - Linux

florin.burada · March 20, 2019, 9:26am

Our support team have generated a bash script to ease installation of Axigen minor updates (Axigen binary, WebMail, and WebAdmin) on Linux.

axigen-update.sh (use ‘Save-As’ to save the script locally)

SHA1: fccb4584126731509575289ac1a6b3cb38bedbd3

After saving the script on the Axigen Server / VM, make sure you make it executable: chmod +x axigen-update.sh

Usage: ./axigen-update.sh <SERVICE_NAME>

Because this script will restart the Axigen service, we strongly recommend to run it during a maintenance window.

Procedure for Updating Docker Containers
For Docker installs please use the below procedure:

place the update script axigen-update.sh in the folder where Axigen Working Directory (/var/opt/axigen) is mounted on your disk
using the below command run the script
# docker exec -it <CONTAINER-ID> sh /var/opt/axigen/axigen-update.sh docker
restart the Axigen docker container using:
# docker restart axigen

The CONTAINER-ID can be obtained using:
# docker ps -a

Note that this script is not suitable for High-availability cluster installations.

Feel free to express your feedback about this script here or by contacting support team.

Ok…I’m having trouble running this script.

First it downloaded RAW!! So, I just selected the text and and named a file axigen-update.sh
Ran said file ./axigen-update.sh
Results:
m@mx:/home/m# ./axigen-update.sh /opt/axigen/bin/axigen
bash: ./axigen-update.sh: Permission denied

…???

Hello,

Before running the script make the script file executable. The commands should be similar with:

chmod +x axigen-update.sh
./axigen-update.sh axigen

Regards,
Florin

Wonderful, thanks for the script. It makes updating a lot more easier.

Note: this script requires which and curl to be installed on your system.

Stay tuned - both dependencies will be removed on next release

Awesome, this script will replace my own Shellscript I’ve created some time ago.

Will this script also get published on your public github account like the automation tools?
This could simplify the deployment for some of us (ex. git clone).

The scrip is great! However it would be nicer to have an updated .deb, .rpm and us that to install

Rvalle · July 5, 2019, 6:16pm

Why isn’t just possible to use docker pull and get a new image with the patches applied?

indreias · July 11, 2019, 10:35am

Hello,

Currently a new docker image is created only when a new Axigen version is available (like for .rpm and .deb installers and all the other supported deployment methods). If and when the deployment policy will be changed we’ll announce via our newsletters.

HTH,

My apologies for not being a linux guru but this would have been much easier if your example had actually said

  ./axigen-update.sh axigen

rather than

 ./axigen-update.sh <SERVICE_NAME>

or even let the script run without a parameter and just prompt with a list of supported services.

Just my two cents

trinitechuk · April 28, 2021, 7:47am

Hi,

Do you have the same script for upgrading active/passive setup?

Thank you

JJussi · December 18, 2022, 8:23am

Is there update to this script? Because after updating axigen to X4, I get this:

DEB based distro detected

Axigen binary detected: /opt/axigen/bin/axigen
Axigen working directory detected: /var/opt/axigen

sed: can’t read /var/opt/axigen/webmail/default/config.hsp: No such file or directory
sed: can’t read /var/opt/axigen/webadmin/config.hsp: No such file or directory
Axigen binary version: 10.4.1
Webmail interface version:
Webadmin interface version:

Your current version (10.4.1) have no available patches

indreias · December 19, 2022, 9:51am

Hello,

The update script is not supporting the new installation method introduced by X4 (via deb or rpm packages).

HTH,
Ioan

redspace · February 15, 2023, 6:17pm

How can we update Axigen version 4 with docker? The script does not exist.
