Updates and releases

How servers update themselves, the stable and beta channels, and how to update by hand.

Linux servers and office Macs update from the signed Trina feed at https://updates.trina.app. The web app is part of each release, so new screens arrive with an update.

#Channels

ChannelGetsTag example
stableNormal releasesv0.3.0
betaPre-releases, and every stable releasev0.3.0-beta.1

Version numbers follow Semantic Versioning. Read how versions are chosen.

#Linux servers

  • An update that changes only the app installs in the team's update window, when no answer is running.
  • An update that changes root files waits for the update timer, or for sudo mycel-ctl update.
  • The update window is in Admin › Team settings, in the team's time zone (03:00–05:00 when empty).
  • The timer waits for a quiet moment instead of cutting answers off.
sudo mycel-ctl status            # versions, units, health, update history
sudo mycel-ctl update            # update now
sudo mycel-ctl auto-update off   # stop automatic updates (on to turn back)
Warning

A rollback restores the app, not the database or files. Back up before every update, and read the release notes.

#Office Macs

~/TeamAX/teamax update status
~/TeamAX/teamax update now
~/TeamAX/teamax update pause     # or resume

Office updates run nightly while the user is logged in.

#Hosted teams

Trina installs updates during the maintenance window. There is nothing to run.

#Releasing (maintainers)

Maintainers bump server/package.json and desktop/package.json, then push a tag such as v0.3.0. GitHub Actions tests, builds, signs and publishes. Read the release CI guide (Korean).
