# Updating Gosora (Windows)

The update system is currently under development, but you can run `dev-update.bat` to update your instance to the latest commit and to update the associated database schema, etc.

If you run into any issues doing so, please open an issue: https://github.com/Azareal/Gosora/issues/new

If you want to manually patch Gosora rather than relying on the above scripts to do it, you'll first have to create a copy of `./schema/schema.json` named `./schema/lastSchema.json`, and then, you'll overwrite the files with the new ones with `git pull origin master`.

After that, you'll need to run `go build ./patcher`.

Once you've done that, you just need to run `patcher.exe` to apply the latest patches to the database, etc.

# Updating a software with a simple installation (Linux)

The update system is currently under development, but you can run `dev-update-linux` to update your instance to the latest commit and to update the associated database schema, etc.

If you run into any issues doing so, please open an issue: https://github.com/Azareal/Gosora/issues/new

If you want to manually patch Gosora rather than relying on the above scripts to do it, you'll first have to create a copy of `./schema/schema.json` named `./schema/lastSchema.json`, and then, you'll overwrite the files with the new ones with `git pull origin master`.

After that, you'll need to run the following code block:
```
cd ./patcher
go build -o Patcher
mv ./Patcher ..
```

Once you've done that, you just need to run `./Patcher` to apply the latest patches to the database, etc.


# Updating a software using systemd (Linux)

You will first want to follow the instructions in the section for updating dependencies.

The update system is currently under development, but you can run `quick-update-linux` in `/home/gosora/src`to update your instance to the latest commit and to update the associated database schema, etc.

If you run into any issues doing so, please open an issue: https://github.com/Azareal/Gosora/issues/new

If you're using a systemd service, then you might want to switch to the `gosora` user with `su gosora` (you may be prompted for the password to the user), you can switch back by typing `exit`.
If this is the first time you've done an update as the `gosora` user, then you might have to configure Git, simply do:

`git config --global user.name "Lalala"`
`git config --global user.email "lalala@example.com"`

Replace that name and email with whatever you like. This name and email only applies to the `gosora` user. If you see a zillion modified files pop-up, then that is due to you changing their permissions, don't worry about it.

If you get an access denied error, then you might need to run `chown -R gosora /home/gosora` and `chgrp -R www-data /home/gosora` to fix the ownership of the files.

If you want to manually patch Gosora rather than relying on the above scripts to do it, you'll first have to create a copy of `./schema/schema.json` named `./schema/lastSchema.json`, and then, you'll overwrite the files with the new ones with `git pull origin master`.

After that, you'll need to run:
```
cd ./patcher
go build -o Patcher
mv ./Patcher ..
```

Once you've done that, you just need to run `./Patcher` to apply the latest patches to the database, etc.


# Updating Dependencies

Dependencies are third party scripts and programs which Gosora relies on to function. The instructions here do not cover updating MySQL / MariaDB or Go.

You can update them by running the `go get` command.

You'll need to restart the server after you change a template or update Gosora, e.g. with `run.bat` or killing the process and running `./run-linux` or via `./pre-run-linux` followed by `service gosora restart`.
