Open edX Eucalyptus Release#
Warning
This release is unsupported.
The Open edX Platform Release Notes and the Open edX Platform Release Notes are the authoratative sources of information on all Open edX releases. It is strongly recommended to operate off the latest Open edX release at all points in time, as only the most recent release is community-supported.
See the Open edX Release Schedule for information on release dates and end-of-life support.
This section describes the Open edX Eucalyptus release. Note that edX no longer supports the Eucalyptus relesae.

Upgrading from Dogwood to Eucalyptus#
You can upgrade an Open edX instance that is running the Dogwood release to the
Eucalyptus release. EdX provides the upgrade.sh script if you have a simple
Dogwood installation and want to upgrade it automatically. If you have a more
complex or customized installation, you may need to upgrade manually.
The upgrade.sh script is in the edX configuration repository on GitHub.
Note
The upgrade script is only for upgrading instances running the Dogwood release. If your instance is running a release prior to the Dogwood release, follow the instructions to upgrade it to each intervening release, and then upgrade from Dogwood to Eucalyptus.
Caution
Before upgrading your Open edX instance, back up all data and configuration files. Then verify that you can restore your Open edX instance from the backup files.
On the computer or virtual machine that is running the Dogwood release of Open edX, run the upgrade script for your type of installation.
Download the script.
$ export OPENEDX_RELEASE=open-release/eucalyptus.1 $ curl -OL https://raw.github.com/openedx/configuration/$OPENEDX_RELEASE/util/vagrant/upgrade.sh
Run the script.
For devstack, run
bash upgrade.sh -c devstack.For fullstack, run
bash upgrade.sh -c fullstack.
You can find the most up-to-date Git tag for the current Open edX release on Open edX Platform Release Notes.
You can also run bash upgrade.sh -h to see which other options the script
accepts.
The script creates a temporary directory in which it upgrades Open edX, then cleans up extra files and directories when it finishes running.
After upgrading Open edX to the Eucalyptus release, start the LMS and Studio and verify that course content and data was migrated correctly.
Upgrading to a Subsequent Eucalyptus Release#
Occasionally, we release updates to Eucalyptus. For example, the second
release of Eucalyptus is open-release/eucalyptus.2.
The steps to upgrade differ based on your original installation method.
Upgrading a Vagrant Installation#
Devstack and Fullstack for Eucalyptus are installed using Vagrant. To upgrade to a Eucalyptus point release, follow these steps in the host operating system.
$ export OPENEDX_RELEASE=open-release/eucalyptus.2
$ vagrant provision
Upgrading a Native Installation#
If you installed Open edX using the Open edX Native 12.04 Installation, re-run
those steps using your desired Eucalyptus tag as the new value for
OPENEDX_RELEASE.
