LimeTech Release Process: How Do I Install Prereleases?

Featured Replies

Here at Lime Technology we manage two release branches: stable and mainline.  The stable branch is for those users who want better tested, though less frequent releases.  The mainline branch (also sometimes called next) is where all new development takes place.

 

tldr: to get on the mainline release branch, install this plugin:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/limetech/webgui/master/plugins/unRAIDServer/unRAIDServer.plg

 

NOTE: if you are upgrading a server we highly recommend everything is working ok with the latest stable before moving to mainline releases.

 

Stable Releases

Stable releases are numbered <major>.<minor>.<patch> as in:

6.2.0

6.2.1

6.2.2

6.3.0

6.3.1

etc.

 

Completion of a new feature or improvement set typically increments the <minor> number.

 

Patch releases are reserved exclusively for CVE's, and to fix regressions and other critical bug fixes.

 

A server reboot is required to update to a new stable release.

 

At this time, whenever a new stable release is published, all previous stable releases are deemed EOS (End of Support).

 

Mainline Releases

Mainline releases are numbered <major>.<minor>.0-rc<n> as in:

6.3.0-rc1

6.3.0-rc2

etc.

 

After a new stable minor release has been published there will typically be a one or two week time gap before the next -rc1 mainline release is published.  If there are any major new features, they should appear in -rc1 release.  Subsequent -rc releases represent bug fixes and refinement until eventually, when we are satisfied no new bugs exist, the next stable minor release is published.

 

[glow=red,2,300]It must be assumed that lurking bugs may exist in incremental mainline releases that can cause instability.[/glow]  If an incremental release carries a risk of data loss, that will be separately noted in the release notes.  Our intent however, is that each incremental mainline release is fully functional.

 

webGui updates

webGui version strings are of the form YYYY.MM.DD as in:

2016.09.22

2016.09.26

etc.

 

The unRAID-OS web browser-based management utility (webGui) is maintained in a public Lime Tech github webgui repo:

https://github.com/limetech/webgui

 

The webGui has incorporated a series of improvements from the Community, starting with Simple Features and more recently, dynamix.  Much of the current webGUI coding has been done by Community member bonienl.We have retained the name dynamix to refer uniquely to the unRAID-OS webGui.

 

Anyone can contribute to the webGui by submitting pull requests.  After we have reviewed the code, we publish in such a way that users can download independent webGui updates as a result of clicking "Check for Updates" on the Plugin page.

 

When a new mainline release is published, we always also integrate the latest webGui code as of that release date.

 

An incremental mainline release requires a server reboot.  webGui updates published in between incremental mainline releases typically do not require a server reboot.

How can I get the release candidate without having unRAID already installed? How do I open the *.plg file? I tried downloading the zip from S3 but got an access denied error.

Apologies if this is posted somewhere, but what's the plugin address to revert back to the stable branch?

 

Thanks,

Andrew.

I don't think there is one. Just copy bzroot/bzimage from the download.

How do I install 6.3.0-rc6 if I am running 6.3.0-rc9?

In the previous folder on the flash drive are copies of the files you can put back into the root of the flash drive.  Why do you want to downgrade?

Thank you so much.

 

After installing 6.3.0-rc9 I started getting this error from activ - TransmissionVPN:

You're looking in the container log?  I tried installing activ-transmissionvpn and don't see those messages  :o

My unRaid server will not update from 6.3.0-rc6  to 6.3.0.  When I check for updates on the plugin screen it says its up-to-date.  How do I fix this?

From the OP of the 6.3 thread

 

Note: to upgrade from 6.3.0-rc9 please install plugin manually:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/limetech/unRAIDServer/master/unRAIDServer.plg

 

However a bug in the plugin system will not allow you to do this from a RC to the final version.

 

Do this: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=56204.msg536010#msg536010

Thanks    ;D

What does this mean:  "Download the zip file via the link in the OP"

OP = original post (or original poster). Often used acronym in forums. ;D

Yeah sorry about that - fixed the plg file so 'check for updates' from an -rc will work now.

System has been updated.  Thanks for your help.
