Helper script to perform the steps required for an upgrade automatically:
- Check if upgrades (minor/major release) for Mediawiki or one of the extensions (supports composer and git) are available
- File backups via bup
- Database backups via mysqldump
- Pull updates
- Run
update.php(Mediawiki maintenance script) - Perform test request
upgrade.sh is a simple wrapper for runs via timers/cronjobs, sending mail reports.
The upgrade script should be run as an unprivileged user but requires the ability to restart the PHP-FPM service. Thus sudo and a whitelisting for the required commands should be confgiured:
$ visudo
# insert:
www-data ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /bin/systemctl stop php7.0-fpm.service
www-data ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /bin/systemctl start php7.0-fpm.service
www-data ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /bin/systemctl reload php7.0-fpm.service
