Upgrade

You will find here different ways to upgrade your wallabag:

ℹ️
But first, ensure you have composer installed on your server (or at least the composer.phar binary in the root directory of wallabag). If not, please install it.

Upgrading from 2.5.x to 2.6.x

Same steps as for upgrading from 2.2.x to 2.3.x.

⚠️ There are two points to focus on for that update:

  1. We added new fields in the database, don’t forget to run migration (by running make update) otherwise your wallabag won’t work.

  2. We’ve updated the mailer config which needs to be replicated otherwise the image might not work.

    We removed these fields from app/config/parameters.yml:

    • mailer_transport
    • mailer_user
    • mailer_password
    • mailer_host
    • mailer_port
    • mailer_encryption
    • mailer_auth_mode

    And we added mailer_dsn as a replacement. Here is an example of DSN: smtp://user:pass@smtp.example.com:port

You can find all the queries here.

Upgrading from 2.3.x to 2.4.x

Same steps as for upgrading from 2.2.x to 2.3.x.

For shared hosting

PHP version compatibility has changed. Check the release notes for details.

Apply the general steps for upgrades on shared hosting with the following modifications:

Use these data queries for the database upgrade to 2.4.

Four parameters were created and MUST be added to your app/config/parameters.yml file: mailer_port, mailer_encryption, mailer_auth_mode and sentry_dsn.

Do not forget to run bin/console cache:clear --env=prod in the wallabag directory afterwards.

Upgrading from 2.3.x to 2.3.y 

make update

That’s all.

If you get an error with Not a git repository, it means you installed wallabag using an archive rather than git. In this case, follow the steps for shared hosting.

Upgrading from 2.2.x to 2.3.x

Upgrade on a dedicated web server 

make update

Upgrade on a shared hosting

  1. Backup your app/config/parameters.yml file.

  2. Download the latest release of wallabag:

    wget https://wllbg.org/latest-v2-package && tar xvf latest-v2-package

    You will find the md5 hash of the latest package on our website.

  3. Extract the archive in your wallabag folder and replace app/config/parameters.yml with yours.

  4. Please check that your app/config/parameters.yml contains all the parameters as they are all mandatory. You can find documentation about parameters here.

  5. If you have modified the app/config/parameters.yml file, run bin/console cache:clear --env=prod afterwards in the wallabag directory. A warning will appear if any parameter is missing.

  6. If you use SQLite, you must also copy your data/ folder into the new installation.

  7. Empty the var/cache folder.

  8. You must run SQL queries to upgrade your database. We assume that the table prefix is wallabag_. Don’t forget to backup your database before migrating.

  9. You may encounter issues with indexes names: if so, please change queries with the correct index name.

  10. You can find all the required queries in the query upgrade documentation.
