Upgrading ARSnova
This document describes the necessary steps to upgrade ARSnova Mobile.
In case you are viewing this file from the Repository please make sure you are on the corresponding x.y-stable
branch for the target version.
Compatibility
When upgrading ARSnova Mobile to a new minor release, make sure to also upgrade the backend to a compatible version. To avoid compatibility issues we recommend to always install matching minor versions of ARSnova Mobile and Backend.
Mobile Upgrade
Copy the web archive (.war
file) for the new backend version into Tomcat's webapps
directory.
It is usually located at either /var/lib/tomcatX/webapps
or /opt/tomcatX/webapps
.
Make sure you use the same name you chose when installing ARSnova (we suggest mobile.war
) and override the existing file.
By default, Tomcat automatically deploys the updated application.
Final Steps
The new version of the frontend should now be up and running.
As a quick test you can run the following curl
commands:
curl localhost:8080/mobile/resources/version.json
The new version should be returned.
