Upgrade from 2018.4

Make sure you walk through each of these steps before running the 2019.1 script.

1. Update Promote's base image for Python to yhat/promote-python:2019.1.0.

Under the Admin tab in the Promote UI, navigate to the Advanced settings. There, input yhat/promote-python:2019.1.0 in the appropriate field to upgrade the Python base image.

Wait for the base image to upgrade. (Normally you see a status bar for the upgrade, but in some cases, you may see only a circular loading indicator. In that case, wait five minutes and then refresh the page. You should see that you successfully updated the base image.)

2. Update Promote's base image for R to yhat/promote-r:2019.1.0.

Under the Admin tab in the Promote UI, navigate to the Advanced settings. There, input yhat/promote-r:2019.1.0 in the appropriate field to upgrade the R base image.

Wait for the base image to upgrade. (Normally you see a status bar for the upgrade, but in some cases, you may see only a circular loading indicator. In that case, wait five minutes and then refresh the page. You should see that you successfully updated the base image.)

3. If you intend to deploy new R models to Promote version 2019.1, make sure you've installed the correct version of the R client:

# The correct version is 1.1.1 for Promote 2018.4

library(promote)
packageVersion("promote")

If you don't have version 1.1.1 of the Promote R client, install it:

# You need the devtools package to install older versions of the Promote R client

install.packages("devtools")

# Use install_versions(), located in devtools, to install the correct version of the R client

require(devtools)
install_versions("promote", version = "1.1.1")

# Now make sure you have the correct version of the R client

packageVersion("promote")

Open the upgrade script using a text editor (such as vi):

vi PATH/TO/upgrade_to_2019.1.0.sh

After you open the file, it should look like this:

NODE_1_IP=''
NODE_2_IP=''
NODE_3_IP=''

SSH_USER=''
KEY_PATH=''

Within each set of single quotation marks, use vi to insert this information:

When you finish updating the empty fields with needed information, the file should look like this:

NODE_1_IP='NODE1_EXTERNAL_IP'
NODE_2_IP='NODE2_EXTERNAL_IP'
NODE_3_IP='NODE3_EXTERNAL_IP'

SSH_USER='USERNAME_FOR_SSH'
KEY_PATH='PATH/TO/SSH/KEY'

Now that you've provided needed information to the upgrade script, run it:

sh upgrade_to_2019.1.0.sh

The script prompts you to make a couple selections. Confirm that all information is correct by providing either a yes or no response to each prompt:

After you make those selections, the script kicks off several upgrade actions on your nodes:

1. Your manager node performs these actions:

2. All nodes perform these actions:

3. Promote then restarts, which triggers a redeploy of all models.

After the script completes, wait for Promote services to build the UI and verify that it is up and running. You can watch these services generate:

watch -n .3 docker service ls

Check the Promote UI to verify that it is running and that all your models successfully redeploy.
