Xibo over docker on Ubuntu

Get Help
1

We are trying to install Xibo on Ubuntu 16.04. Everything went well but when we run docker-compose there is a problem with mysql. It keeps rebotting. Docker-compose logs show the following error over and over again:
[Note] mysqld (mysqld 5.6.37) starting as process 1 …
cms-db_1 | 2017-07-29 02:38:00 0 [Warning] TIMESTAMP with implicit DEFAULT value is deprecated. Please use --explicit_defaults_for_timestamp server option (see documentation for more details).

Ok, so it’s fine now after the third attempt to install. I think it has something to do with access right. Otherwise I didn’t do anything different and it works fine now…

I’m glad you have it working. Please try not to start duplicate threads though on the same issue :slight_smile:

Ok, sure. Now After installing I tried to upgrade to 1.8.1 according to your instructions. Everything is working but I think it is still version 1.8.0. In the CMS I still see 1.8.0 in the ‘about’ section.

If it still says 1.8.0 and isn’t prompting you to run the upgrade process, then it’s still running 1.8.0.

You need to go back and look at the instructions again.

I performed it twice. Shouldn’t I run docker down before I start the upgrade process?

7

Can I update directly to the latest CMS version? Which is it? 1.8.2?

Yes you can go straight to 1.8.2

You don’t need to down the containers. docker-compose will do it for you

Sorry for nagging…
I tried to update directly to 1.8.2. I do exactly what you write in the instructions. When I run docker ps I still see the “…release_1.8.0” name for xibo-cms and in the web browser it also seems to still be version 1.8.0.
In cms_custom-ports.yml I modify the ports but I see there is some kind of a tag with 1.8.0. Do I need to change it?

In the instructions, it tells you to move your old cms_custom-ports.yml to cms_custom-ports.yml.1.8.0, and then replace cms_custom-ports.yml with a new one from the 1.8.2 download.

If you’re still seeing 1.8.0 in that file, then you haven’t done those steps. Once you do do that (and the other things it tells you to do), then you will be able to upgrade.

So sorry. My mistake. I am a linux newbi and I kept extracting the wrong zip file and there were a couple of them in the Xibo folder. When I removed all of them and downloaded the zip again, it seems to be OK now.
