Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.The new drush make based upgrade process for Aegir is very difficult at the moment. There are 2 main cases we have here :
1) upgrades from aegir releases before 0.4 alpha 2
2) upgrades from aegir 0.4 alpha 2
The process should be :
a) upgrade drush to drush 2.1
b) upgrade provision to the new alpha
c) download the latest beta of drush make
d) run 'drush hostmaster make /path/to/new/platform'
e) cd /path/to/old/platform
f) run 'drush hostmaster migrate site.com /path/to/new/platform
So here are the following issues :
a) when drush is updated to 2.1, the queue stops working because of drupal.org/node/586466 and the fact that the drush_scan_directory parameters have changed
b) to get the newest release, with the additional dependencies it is recommended that you use drush make, which requires the new HEAD.
c) The jquery_ui and modalframe modules, and the jquery ui library needs to be present before you can run the update functions, or http://drupal.org/node/620686 happens.
d) 0.4 alpha 2 already has a hostmaster park command, which validates that the platform you are migrating to has already been added, but to get the new platform you need the new backend and if you have the new backend your task queue is broken.
e) because of the changes in drush, a new platform won't be able to get verified and added and for the settings to propogate to the target platform, it needs to be verified by the front end, otherwise the drushrc.php file is incorrect.
f) when you follow through with the process anyway you get the following AND the sites directory on the target platform is wiped out completely :

Comment #1
adrian commentedThe new drush make based upgrade process for Aegir is very difficult at the moment. There are 2 main cases we have here :
1) upgrades from aegir releases before 0.4 alpha 2
2) upgrades from aegir 0.4 alpha 2
The process should be :
a) upgrade drush to drush 2.1
b) upgrade provision to the new alpha
c) download the latest beta of drush make
d) run 'drush hostmaster make /path/to/new/platform'
e) cd /path/to/old/platform
f) run 'drush hostmaster migrate site.com /path/to/new/platform
So here are the following issues :
a) when drush is updated to 2.1, the queue stops working because of drupal.org/node/586466 and the fact that the drush_scan_directory parameters have changed
b) to get the newest release, with the additional dependencies it is recommended that you use drush make, which requires the new HEAD.
c) The jquery_ui and modalframe modules, and the jquery ui library needs to be present before you can run the update functions, or http://drupal.org/node/620686 happens.
d) 0.4 alpha 2 already has a hostmaster park command, which validates that the platform you are migrating to has already been added, but to get the new platform you need the new backend and if you have the new backend your task queue is broken.
e) because of the changes in drush, a new platform won't be able to get verified and added and for the settings to propogate to the target platform, it needs to be verified by the front end, otherwise the drushrc.php file is incorrect.
f) when you follow through with the process anyway you get the following AND the sites directory on the target platform is wiped out completely :
Comment #2
adrian commentedhttp://pastebin.ca/1666386
Comment #3
adrian commentedwell. after a lot of back and forth I finally have the upgrade process automated.
after upgrading provision, drush and installing the latest beta of drush make you upgrade the front end by simply running :
'php ~/drush/drush.php --root='/path/to/current/platform' hostmaster migrate aegir.mydomain.com /var/aegir/aegir-0.4-alpha3'
This command will automatically download and register the new platform for you, but it may take a while.
it also wipes out your current crontab and replaces it with one that _will_ work, due to the drush 2.1 issues we have been facing
Comment #4
adrian commentedupdated the docs too.
Comment #5
Anonymous (not verified) commentedThe migrate seemed to work well on my initial test. There was only one error that occurred. During the migrate, a 'platform_.conf' was created, which contains settings specific to the *old* platform that is being migrated away from.
All other new configs and ones rewritten, look normal, so this is just the one anomaly.
Snippet from logs
I'll continue to do more tests (this was a migrate from a slightly-old-head to HEAD. Will test older versions too)
Comment #6
Anonymous (not verified) commentedFor the benefit of testing, a migrate from 0.3 to HEAD was also successful. Same issue again with a platform_.conf that was created with the contents of the old platform. But otherwise working well.
Comment #7
Anonymous (not verified) commentedWhere is the logic for 'hostmaster pause' ? I found resume.hostmaster.inc but I can't find pause anywhere. Surprisingly despite this, the command is run and doesn't throw any drush errors so I assume it's somewhere and I can't find it.
We seem to want to verify both old and new platforms in drush_provision_hostmaster_migrate_validate()
Both items r and root in this array are the target platform, as seen in;
because
is this right?
two verifies are run: the first gets the platform_.conf and contains info on the *old* platform, which is baffling to me, as I expected platform_.conf to occur because no nid exists yet for the target platform, and yet it is using the old platform's data (context issue?)
Comment #8
Anonymous (not verified) commentedRemoving
$data['root'] = $platformfixes the verify issue and actually runs the verify on the old and target platforms respectively, because $data['root'] is picked straight out of the drush_get_merged_options() (as it should, or from the current pwd per the fallback there)However *both* of them generate the platform_.conf . And I suspect that is why it ends up with the old platform's contents: the old platform gets verified *after* the target platform, and so it overwrites the file. Either way it's a moot point since it should be doing this properly (I still don't see why the old platform is unable to find a platform nid)
Comment #9
Anonymous (not verified) commentedanarcat points out we need to write the platform nid to drushrc.php to avoid that old issue.
We need to persist the platform nid for the old platform, but we are doing a verify of the *new* platform before it exists as a node in the aegir db yet. We add that platform via node_save etc much later, *after* we migrate to it, in 'hostmaster resume'. So even if we fix that old bug of persisting the platform nid in a verify task, we don't actually *have* one yet for the new platform. Perhaps we need to take that logic from resume.hostmaster.inc and do that first in the validation, and then do the verify? This then follows the typical procedure of adding a platform that one does through the frontend (node_save, then verify)
Comment #10
adrian commentedthe platform will get re-verified after creation anyway, and we can't create it on pause, because it won't be available yet on 0.3 sites.
i am going to suggest we
1. provide a sensible fallback for the platform_X file, like we do for site_id
2. just not write the platform file if the X file is missing, it will get created later anyway
3. never use the platform id in the file creation to begin with
a lot of this stuff becomes irrelevant in alpha 4 anyway because we will be producing a server level verify task.
Comment #11
adrian commentedno longer creates the files when no platform id is specified.
Comment #12
Anonymous (not verified) commentedWhile not a major issue, is this not still a problem?
Am I right in thinking the first one should be removed, and just inherited from the merged options? Otherwise we are verifying the same platform twice.
Comment #13
adrian commentedthey are both specified because we don't want a case where -r and --root are different values, because then we depend on drush to know what the precedence is
