Upgrading Red Hat Developer Hub

Prerequisites

• You are logged in as an administrator on the OpenShift Container Platform web console.
• You have installed the Red Hat Developer Hub Operator.
• You have configured the appropriate roles and permissions within your project to create or access an application. For more information, see the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform documentation on Building applications.

Verification

• The Upgrade status field value on the Subscription details page is Up to date.

• OpenShift Container Platform web console

  Warning

  If you have installed Developer Hub manually using the Helm CLI, the Helm chart release upgrade in the OpenShift Developer Console is going to fail. The failure is due to the limitations when using the OpenShift Container Platform console to upgrade a Helm release that was initially deployed using the Helm CLI. You can bypass this limitation by using the Helm CLI to upgrade. However, if you still want to upgrade using the console, select the Helm Chart version from the drop-down list and select the Developer Hub version you want to upgrade to. Before performing this step, save your values.yaml configuration file in a different location.

  1. In the Developer perspective, click Helm to open the Helm Releases tab.
  2. Click the overflow menu on the Helm release that you want to use and select Upgrade.
  3. On the Upgrade Helm Release page, select the version of Developer Hub that you want to upgrade to from the chart version drop-down list.

  4. Click Upgrade.

     Note

     It might take a few minutes to delete the resources in the older versions and to start the newer versions of the Developer Hub pods.

  5. Close all open Developer Hub web pages, and log in again to verify that the upgrade was successful.

• OpenShift Container Platform CLI

  1. Log in to the OpenShift Container Platform cluster as the cluster administrator and switch to the project or namespace in which Developer Hub was installed.

     $ oc login -u <user> -p <password> https://api.<HOSTNAME>:6443
     $ oc project my-rhdh-project

     Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  2. For a new version of the Developer Hub Helm chart, run the following upgrade command:

     $ helm upgrade -i rhdh -f new-values.yml \
       openshift-helm-charts/redhat-developer-hub --version 1.8.4

     Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
     Note

     You can also provide extra values to the chart by creating a new-values.yml file on your workstation with values that override the attributes in the installed chart or by adding new attributes.
