Upgrading forked-daapd
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
From time to time, newer versions of forked-daapd may need to perform a
|
||||
database upgrade. This upgrade is handled by forked-daapd upon startup if
|
||||
required.
|
||||
|
||||
Before upgrading forked-daapd, it is always a good idea to backup your
|
||||
database, just in case.
|
||||
|
||||
The database upgrade procedure is built into forked-daapd; there is no
|
||||
external upgrade script to run. Depending on the changes done to the database
|
||||
structure, the upgrade process will take more or less time and may need some
|
||||
space in /tmp for temporary data. The upgrade can also require some more space
|
||||
in the directory containing the database file.
|
||||
|
||||
Before running the new forked-daapd version, make sure you have done your
|
||||
backups and checked your disk space.
|
||||
|
||||
Some upgrades can also trigger a full rescan to rebuild parts of the database,
|
||||
so startup will be a bit slower and more resource-intensive than usual.
