Document Update Process

Well I've had SnipeIT and SNIPE-01 turned off for some time, I just haven't had the man hours to start using the software. I turn it back on today to take a look. I'm assuming there's been an update in the past four months so I'll start with documenting the update process. The current version is v6.0.14 and I am running v6.0.10 - build 8673.
Steps performed on SNIPE-01

• sudo apt update
  • 117 packages can be upgraded.
• sudo apt upgrade -y
• sudo reboot
• sudo apt update
  • 6 packages can be upgraded
• sudo apt upgrade -y
• sudo reboot
• sudo apt update
  • All packages are up to date.
• cd /home/david/snipe-it
• php upgrade.php

The script runs successfully, but my install is still showing as v6.0.10 instead of v6.0.14. Interesting. So it looks like part of the script did actually fail. It looks like I need to add an exception for the git directory.

• git config --global --add safe.directory /home/david/snipe-it
• php upgrade.php

It runs again but doesn't fail on the git command anymore, but it is now throwing permission errors. It looks like because the /home/david/snipe-it directory is owned by www-data and the group www-data. Easy to fix then.

• sudo -u www-data php upgrade.php

That did it! SnipeIT is now showing as running v6.0.14 - build 9236. Alright, I add this information to my maintenance checklist.
