Upgrading to Quilibrium v1.4.21.1 from versions .19 and older

Complete upgrade script code block

This code block upgrades your node to v1.4.21.1 from v1.4.19 and older, by doing the following:

  1. stopping the ceremonyclient service first
  2. making a backup of the entire .config folder on ~ folder
  3. deleting and recreating an empty ceremonyclient directory, in order to start afresh
  4. setting release OS, arch variables, and the current version variable
    • Please adjust the variable values below (default os=linux, arch=amd64, current_version=1.4.19)
    • IMPORTANT please adjust the variable value for current_version below. Change this to your node's current version.
  5. creating node folder, and downloading all required node-related files (binaries, .dgst and *.sig files)
  6. creating client folder, and downloading qclient binary
  7. copying your backed up .config directory inside node
  8. modifying the service configuration file
  9. starting the service again
# stop the service
echo "1. stopping the ceremonyclient service first..."
service ceremonyclient stop
echo "... ceremonyclient service stopped"
 
# make a backup of the whole .config folder on your root folder
echo "2. making a backup of the entire .config folder on ~ folder..."
