Migrate from source to package on Centos
You may want to consider a different distribution. CentOS 7 is expected to be end of life on 30 June 2024 so you will need to migrate to a different distribution before then.
A CentOS package has been created to increase the ease of installing and upgrading passbolt.
Pre-requisites
For this tutorial, you will need:
- A minimal CentOS 7 server.
- Passbolt installed with the CentOS install script.
1. Take down your site
It is generally a good idea to stop running the site prior to the upgrade. This is to avoid having side effects such as active users corrupting the data in the middle of an upgrade.
sudo systemctl stop nginx
2. Backup your instance
First things first, as this is a sensitive operation a backup of the instance must be performed to prevent any data loss. You can follow our backup process.
3. Upgrade your system
Passbolt requires PHP 7.4 and supports PHP 8.2.
A full system upgrade to CentOS 7 is necessary before installing the passbolt CentOS package.
4. Install the package
Package repository setup
For easier installation and update tasks Passbolt provides a package repository that you need to setup before you download Passbolt CE and install it.
Step 1. Download our dependencies installation script:
curl -LO https://download.passbolt.com/ce/installer/passbolt-repo-setup.ce.sh
Step 2. Download our SHA512SUM for the installation script:
curl -LO https://github.com/passbolt/passbolt-dep-scripts/releases/latest/download/passbolt-ce-SHA512SUM.txt
Step 3. Ensure that the script is valid and execute it:
sha512sum -c passbolt-ce-SHA512SUM.txt && sudo bash ./passbolt-repo-setup.ce.sh --passbolt-migrate || echo "Bad checksum. Aborting" && rm -f passbolt-repo-setup.ce.sh
Install passbolt official linux package
sudo dnf install passbolt-ce-server
It is recommend at this point to select:
- No for configuration as it is already configured
- No to nginx configuration as we will do it at the end
Importing GPG key 0xC155581D:
Userid : "Passbolt SA package signing key [email protected]"
Fingerprint: 3D1A 0346 C8E1 802F 774A EF21 DE8B 853F C155 581D
From : https://download.passbolt.com/pub.key
5.1. Copy the server keys
Copy the GPG server keys as following:
sudo cp -a /var/www/passbolt/config/gpg/serverkey.asc /etc/passbolt/gpg/
sudo cp -a /var/www/passbolt/config/gpg/serverkey_private.asc /etc/passbolt/gpg/
sudo chown -R root:nginx /etc/passbolt/gpg
sudo chmod g-w /etc/passbolt/gpg
5.2. Copy the passbolt configuration
Copy passbolt configuration as following:
sudo cp /var/www/passbolt/config/passbolt.php /etc/passbolt/passbolt.php
sudo chown root:nginx /etc/passbolt/passbolt.php
sudo chmod g-w /etc/passbolt/passbolt.php
If you are running mysql 8, please change the quoteIdentifiers setting of the passbolt.php as follow:
'quoteIdentifiers' => true
5.3. Copy the avatars
If coming from Passbolt version prior to 3.2, copy passbolt avatars as following:
sudo cp -R /var/www/passbolt/webroot/img/public/avatar /usr/share/php/passbolt/webroot/img/public/
Nginx
Now you can remove all the old nginx configuration files from /etc/nginx/conf.d/
sudo rm /etc/nginx/conf.d/passbolt.conf
sudo rm /etc/nginx/conf.d/passbolt_ssl.conf
Then, you can reconfigure the CentOS package using:
sudo /usr/local/bin/passbolt-configure
Answer the following way:
- No to configuration
- No to nginx configuration
You can then select the SSL method that suits best your needs.
Run the database migrations
Now it is time to run the migrations to upgrade the database schemas:
sudo -H -u nginx bash -c "/usr/share/php/passbolt/bin/cake passbolt migrate"
Cleanup
After you have checked you can access your new setup with the CentOS package make a backup of /var/www/passbolt and then you can delete it:
sudo rm -rf /var/www/passbolt
You may also want to check for the old CRON job that may need to be removed:
sudo crontab -u nginx
Bring your site back online
Finally take passbolt back up:
sudo systemctl start nginx
sudo systemctl restart php7.4-fpm
