Introducing SNAP Tracks!

Announcements
21

snap is huge user base relying on automatic upgrades.

Users get quite upset if their server is “bricked”, becomes unstable, or inherits major bugs overnight.

As such we need to wait for enough feedback about each release before making the decision to “cut one” for snap.

It will be 3.5.x and it is likely later in August.

Alright, thank you for the clarification!

23

an you guide me to update by snap?

24

Rc 3.5.2 just now installed by snap.

25

Yup everyone should now be on latest. I’d not a snap refresh will get you there. Don’t forget to do regular backups or set them up for the snap to do so :slight_smile:

Just to clarify, if I have an old snap installation, it is on the latest/stable channel which is 2.x. Will it switch someday to 3.x or stay on 2.x?

27

Good day

Just to be sure. Will the snap install of Rocket.chat automatically update to version 3.6 or is their anything I need to configure to receive this update automatically? I am currently running 3.5.2 on Ubuntu 20.04

Thanks
Peter

I get notification “Any workspace on a version older than 5.4.6 will be automatically upgraded to 5.4.6”.
i updated my snap from 4 to 5 by running
snap switch rocketchat-server --channel=5.x/stable
snap refresh rocketchat-server
now i have 5.4.5
but how to get 5.4.6 ? this is not clear for me - I guess there is some serious bugfix ?
thanks

for snaps installations.

Hello,

I’m trying to upgrade changing channels but after upgrade the the chat wont work anymore,

It says mongodb is not able to start or something.

I have 3.18.7 stable installed.
SO: Ubuntu 20.04 and also tried with 22.04.2

I also tried installing from scratch (sudo snap install rocketchat-server) which it worked but after restoring the backup that I previously created. then mongodb is not able to start again.

Is somebody able to help here?

Thank you!
