Upgrade your Debian Funkwhale installation

If you installed Funkwhale following the Debian guide, follow these steps to upgrade.

Cleanup old funkwhale files

Stop the Funkwhale services.
```
# systemctl stop funkwhale.target
```
Navigate to your Funkwhale directory.
```
# cd /srv/funkwhale
```
Remove the old files.
```
# rm -Rf api/* front/* venv
```

Download Funkwhale

Export the Funkwhale version you want to update to. You’ll use this in the rest of the commands in this guide.
```
export FUNKWHALE_VERSION=1.4.0
```
Follow the Download Funkwhale instructions in the installation guide.
Follow the Install the Funkwhale API instructions in the installation guide.

Upgrade your systemd unit files

To make sure you receive any updates made to unit files, download the latest versions from the repo.

# curl -L -o "/etc/systemd/system/funkwhale.target" "https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/funkwhale/raw/$FUNKWHALE_VERSION/deploy/funkwhale.target"
# curl -L -o "/etc/systemd/system/funkwhale-server.service" "https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/funkwhale/raw/$FUNKWHALE_VERSION/deploy/funkwhale-server.service"
# curl -L -o "/etc/systemd/system/funkwhale-worker.service" "https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/funkwhale/raw/$FUNKWHALE_VERSION/deploy/funkwhale-worker.service"
# curl -L -o "/etc/systemd/system/funkwhale-beat.service" "https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/funkwhale/raw/$FUNKWHALE_VERSION/deploy/funkwhale-beat.service"

Update your reverse proxy configuration

To ensure your reverse proxy is up-to-date with changes, you should regenerate your Nginx configuration with each upgrade. To do this:

Log in to a root shell to make changes to the config files
```
$ sudo su
```

Download the new Nginx templates from Funkwhale

# curl -L -o /etc/nginx/funkwhale_proxy.conf "https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/funkwhale/raw/$FUNKWHALE_VERSION/deploy/funkwhale_proxy.conf"
# curl -L -o /etc/nginx/sites-available/funkwhale.template "https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/funkwhale/raw/$FUNKWHALE_VERSION/deploy/nginx.template"

Update the Nginx configuration with details from your .env file

# set -a && source /srv/funkwhale/config/.env && set +a
envsubst "`env | awk -F = '{printf \" $%s\", $$1}'`" \
   < /etc/nginx/sites-available/funkwhale.template \
   > /etc/nginx/sites-available/funkwhale.conf

Check the configuration file to make sure the template values have been updated properly
```
# grep '${' /etc/nginx/sites-available/funkwhale.conf
```

Once you’ve updated your configuration, reload Nginx.

# systemctl reload nginx

Update your Funkwhale instance

Once you have downloaded the new files, you can update your Funkwhale instance. To do this:

Install or upgrade all OS dependencies using the dependencies script.
```
# api/install_os_dependencies.sh install
```

Collect the new static files to serve.

# venv/bin/funkwhale-manage collectstatic --no-input

Apply new database migrations.

# sudo -u funkwhale venv/bin/funkwhale-manage migrate

Restart the Funkwhale services.
```
# systemctl start funkwhale.target
```

That’s it! You’ve updated your Funkwhale pod. You should now see the new version running in your web browser.
