Boards Self-Hosted Releases (change log)

How To Upgrade

Important - new image hosting

As of January 2023 we have moved our image hosting. Please follow this guide to configure your Kubernetes with access to our images hosted in Quay.io. We have provided new Huddo charts to utilise these images.

Please use the appropriate update command with the latest helm chart. For example:

  1. Huddo Boards in Kubernetes

    helm upgrade huddo-boards https://docs.huddo.com/assets/config/kubernetes/huddo-boards-1.0.0.tgz -i -f ./boards.yaml --namespace boards
    
  2. Component Pack (Activities Plus)

    Tip

    To upgrade from images in the Component Pack to images hosted by us please follow this guide.

    Danger

    New chart for Component Pack

    As of huddo-boards-cp-1.0.0.tgz we have changed the Minio pods to run as user 1000 instead of root. You must perform the following command on the shared drive (/pv-connections file system) before using this new chart. The change is backwards compatible.

    cd /pv-connections/kudos-boards-minio/
    chown 1000:1000 -R .
    
    helm upgrade huddo-boards-cp https://docs.huddo.com/assets/config/kubernetes/huddo-boards-cp-1.2.0.tgz -i -f ./boards-cp.yaml --namespace connections

Updates may include minor schema migrations at any time. If you have a need to downgrade versions then we recommend performing a back-up of the Mongo database before you update versions.
