Upgrading from a 1.x Version
Upgrading Philter to the newest version requires moving Philter’s configuration to the new version of Philter. To upgrade Philter from a 1.x version, follow the steps below.
Make local copies of your current Philter’s properties files.
- /opt/philter/philter.properties (prior to 1.10.1 the filename was /opt/philter/application.properties)
- /opt/philter/philter-ui.properties (not applicable prior to version 1.10)
Launch a new instance of the newest version of Philter.
Replace the new virtual machine’s properties file with your copy from step 1.
Restart Philter:
sudo systemctl restart philter.service sudo systemctl restart philter-ui.service
Test the new Philter virtual machine to make sure it is behaving appropriately.
Decommission the old Philter instance.
