Gallium/Upgrade to Precise

This page is about upgrading the gallium host from Ubuntu Lucid to Ubuntu Precise.

• send an email to wikitech-l about host being upgraded and service under maintenance

• Stop Apache
• Stop Jenkins

• Backup the following directories (and maybe do a full backup of the 46GB as well)
  • /home
  • /var/lib/jenkins (roughly 40GB)
  • /srv
• Need to make sure dotfiles are included ;-)

• Upgrade

• Get puppet to run. Will reinistall a half working copy of jenkins.

• Stop Jenkins
• Drop /var/lib/jenkins and replaces it with the /var/lib/jenkins backup
• Start Jenkins

Jenkins should be available at https://integration.mediawiki.org/ci/

Item probably not needed:

• get PHP 5.3.2 instead of PHP 5.3.10
