We have a local installation of obs running on ESX Server for a few years. We have problems every time we have to update the OBS server to a current version.
If we start with the Appliance from http://openbuildservice.org/download/other/ would we be able to keep that Installation updated?
yes
Can we then simply update the appliance by downloading the new Image and deploy it to the Server?
The appliance images are migrating the data, if /srv/obs is mounted on an extra volume.
Or would it be better to do a Package Installation on a Opensuse Server and keep that current?
You can also just update the packages. No matter if you deployed the appliance or did a manual installation. Read the README.UPDATERS file for details, esp. how to migrate the database.
You wrote in your other mail that you run OBS 2.4. Please note that you may need to update to 2.5 first to go to 2.6 (or 2.7 beta) directly. -- Adrian Schroeter email: adrian@suse.de SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstraße 5 90409 Nürnberg Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org
