Starting the upgrade

To update your regify provider appliance, please log in via SSH (or PuTTY).

In case you log in with root account, you have to enter

providerConfig

to run the appliance menu.

Now select the first menu item "Check for updates". There is a huge list of packages. Use TAB to switch focus to "Yes" and press Enter to start the update. The update process can take up to 10 minutes. If you are running a redundant system, do this directly one after the other on each appliance.

Finish with restart

The update also updates the kernel of the system, so you need to make a restart after the update has finished. Logged in using SSH (PuTTY), you can restart the appliance using the appliance menu "Appliance..." -> "Other Settings..." -> "Reboot the appliance".

In case you log in with root account, you can also enter

shutdown -r now

ToDo after upgrading

System in maintenance mode?

If you turned on maintenance mode before upgrade, the system will come up in maintenance mode after update. Please enter Administration and use "Provider maintenance" dialogue to restore operation.

CSS modifications

We modified the CSS structure and especially the units. All units are now given in rem. Fem means relative to the root html element font size. By this, switching the font size for the html tag element will switch the whole scaling of all the dialoges.

We implemented automatic size due to the following rules:

  • Screen width below 1200px, the font size is 12px
  • Screen width between 1200px and 1800px, the font size is 1% of the screen width (1200px => 12px)
  • Screen width is bigger than 1800px, the font size is 18px
  • All elements (div, margins, padding etc) positions and sizes are based on rem, too. So their sizes will change with the font size, too.

Thus, we recommend you to edit your CSS in _customized.css, especially for the logo, to also use rem as unit for sizing and positioning.

Images

We replaced most of the used icons and symbols by fonticons. Due to this, it is more easy to change colors and also it is good in all scalings. Please verify any images you changed by using _customized.css.
