Updating To New Versions
If you want to update the bot to the latest version and you already have a previous version set up and running, follow these steps:
Please note, updating to v5.0 from v4.0 or below requires you to configure the bot from scratch like a new user.
- If you are updating from pre-v5.0, refer to the quick start guide to setup from scratch instead: Quick Start
Update Guide:
- Check the update notes to make sure this update won't require a new setup process
- Back up your jjmumblebot.db and your config.ini files (both found in JJMumbleBot/cfg/ directory)
- Back up your global_aliases.csv file if you have custom aliases registered
- (Optional) Back up any custom plugins
- (Optional) Back up any stored permanent media if it is stored in the root directory (this is customizable in the config.ini)
- Download the latest version of the bot and use your previous config.ini, jjmumblebot.db and global_aliases.csv (unless the config.ini has changed)
- Update custom plugins to work with any possible changes in the latest update
- Update your config.ini file as required (you can use the config_template.ini file to see what's new)
