From v0.12.x to v0.13.0
This guide is exclusively for Validators and Node Operators, please pay Maximum attention and Perform a backup before upgrading!
Stop of the node
The node will automatically stop at block height 9845000
approximately at 2023-02-03 15:45:00 UTC
. The log file will indicate that in order to continue, you must replace the bitsongd
binary. At that point you can finish the bitsongd
process.
Backup
In the event that the update is unsuccessful, you will need to restore the previous status and install a future patch (example v0.13.1
).
In order to perform the backup, you just need to copy the content present on the home directory of go-bitsong
, in this case ~/.bitsongd
Remember to have at least 50% free disk space
This operation should take 5/10 minutes, however, in the event that you're using low performance servers, the process might take up to 30/40 minutes.
Remove golang 1.18.x
golang 1.18.x
The upgrade to v0.13.0
requires a version of golang-1.19.x
Install golang 1.19.x
golang 1.19.x
Replace bitsongd
bitsongd
First of all we need to make sure we're using the v0.10.0
version
We should get the 0.12.x
version
At this point we have to download and compile the new binary bitsongd 0.13.0
The make install
command will compile and install the new binary.
Let's check if the binary was properly updated
If we get the answer 0.13.0
the process was successffully executed and we can proceed to restart the node.
Start bitsongd
bitsongd
At this point the node will start performing the update of all the existing modules. Keep into consideration that the operation might take up to 10 minutes.
