In the past, a coworker followed the docs to install a SmartProxy in Windows. And he was successful.
Now I鈥檓 the lucky guy who has to do an upgrade
My questions are:
Do I have to follow the same steps as the installation docs suggest?
Or can I only replace the old smart_proxy folder with the new one? (Downloaded from here: Releases 路 theforeman/smart-proxy 路 GitHub)
What is the official approach?
You can follow the installation steps in the docs.
In my case I was using Ruby 2.3 and SmartProxy 1.20.3 and wanted to update to 1.21.
Since Ruby 2.3 is still a valid version, I didn鈥檛 change it.
The following steps were required:
a new bundle install run
make sure your SSL certs are in the right place
also the old settings.yaml file has to be ported to the new smartproxy folder
We have a migration script that is present in the git repo, our installer does this for you but not in Windows. There should be a rake task you can use to migrate the settings, or you can as you figured out do this manually.
Consider writing a post into Tutorials sections on this forum, thanks!
