Upgrading ThingsBoard PE from AWS Marketplace

This guide describes how to upgrade ThingsBoard Professional Edition from AWS Marketplace.

Upgrading to ThingsBoard PE v.2.0.2

These steps are applicable for ThingsBoard PE with Cassandra v.1.4.


Important note


Please note that during upgrade procedure old rules and plugins will be completely removed from your ThingsBoard instance.

Old rules and plugins functionality is replaced by new rule engine components (rule chains and rule nodes).

If you have configured rules or plugins you need to backup them using export function before performing upgrade. After upgrade you will need to configure new rule chains in order to restore your application logic performed by old rules/plugins.

Please refer to new rule engine documentation for details.

Connect to your ThingsBoard PE v.1.4 instance over SSH.

Below is example command as a reference:

$ ssh -i <PRIVATE-KEY> ubuntu@<PUBLIC_DNS_NAME>

or goto EC2 instances and locate your ThingsBoard PE v1.4 instance. Then select Actions -> Connect and follow instructions provided in Connect To Your Instance dialog.

NOTE: Package installer may ask you to merge your thingsboard.conf configuration.

Configuration file '/usr/share/thingsboard/conf/thingsboard.conf'
 ==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
 ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
   What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
    Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
    N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
      D     : show the differences between the versions
      Z     : start a shell to examine the situation
 The default action is to keep your current version.
*** thingsboard.conf (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? Y

Select install the package maintainer’s version by entering Y or I.

NOTE: Package installer may ask you to merge your thingsboard.yml configuration.

After installation your previous configuration will be stored in the following files:

/usr/share/thingsboard/conf/thingsboard.conf.dpkg-old
/usr/share/thingsboard/conf/thingsboard.yml.dpkg-old

If you changed configuration files previously you can compare new configuration with the old one in order to restore your configuration values.

At least the following configuration parameters should be restored:

$ sudo nano /usr/share/thingsboard/conf/thingsboard.conf

For ThingsBoard Professional Edition with Cassandra or ThingsBoard PE Enterprise: -Dplatform=ami-pe-cassandra

For ThingsBoard PE Maker: -Dplatform=ami-pe-mk

For ThingsBoard PE Prototype: -Dplatform=ami-pe-pt

For ThingsBoard PE Startup: -Dplatform=ami-pe-st

For ThingsBoard PE Business: -Dplatform=ami-pe-bs

The final line should be like this (example for ThingsBoard Professional Edition with Cassandra):

   ...
   export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dplatform=ami-pe-cassandra -Dinstall.data_dir=/usr/share/thingsboard/data"
   ...

$ sudo nano /usr/share/thingsboard/conf/thingsboard.yml
