Upgrade distribution from Squeeze to Jessie to Stretch to Buster

[strk]

This month Debian stopped publishing security updates for Squeeze (which was anyway only supported up to February 2016).

We should upgrade all machines to current LTS (version 8 aka Jessie): ​https://www.debian.org/News/2017/20170506

For sure wiki,tracsvn,web and secure are to be upgraded, there might be others.

Servers information *should* behere: ​https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/SAC_Service_Status

Are Martin's notes on how to get around the grub issue on the wiki? That's the information we need to know to perform and upgrade on those VM. I would test on Webextra 1st before attempting the other VMs.

[robe]

yah grub issue would be good to know.

I ran into some sort of grub issue trying to upgrade adhoc and projects. These are now containerized so not directly exposed to the outside.

secure which was Squeeze I rebult as a Debian 9 container called new-secure.

adhoc is largely migrated but need to talk with osuosl about switching the domain and how to shutdown the old servers.

I did a test upgrade of trac from wheezy to jessie, so now I'm going to do it on the real thing.

[robe]

Completed upgrade of tracsvn osgeo7 container from wheezy to jessie

[robe]

We still have on squeeze - old-projects

This should be upgraded to at least wheezy.

I'll address after I have completed the migration of osgeo3 VMs.

move open times to new contract

oops moved to wrong milestone last run

Ticket retargeted after milestone closed

Milestone renamed

I plan to upgrade tracsvn to stretch after I'm done with osgeo6. I started the ball rolling by switching to the osuosl.org jessie distro (the one tracsvn had was out of commission). That resulted in a number of upgrades of core files.

Going to start the update of tracsvn now to stretch - things will be a little bumpy for next couple of hours.

[robe]

Done upgrading tracsvn from jessie to stretch

[robe]

I'm testing upgrading tracsnv-dev to buster (Debian 10). If that goes smoothly I will do the same to production.

[robe]

okay going to start the process on production now to upgrade tracsvn to debian-buster.

[robe]

Done with tracsvn upgrade to debian-buster.

[robe]

Done with tracsvn upgrade. Problem mail not working.

[robe]

The upgrade somehow broke the mail on trac. Trac was using local smtp which I think is postfix. I can't figure out what is up since doing a test mail worked.

For now I changed the /var/www/trac/env/osgeo/trac.ini :/var/www/trac/env/postgis/conf/trac.ini to use mail.osgeo.org. Which is fine.

But I would like to troubleshoot why it's not working since I may run into the same issue upgrading osgeo6 (mail.osgeo.org)

osgeo6 has been upgraded to buster as well.

I'm closing this out and create separate tickets for ones I plan to upgrade. Most of this is done already or instance retired.
