Pre-Upgrade Checklist

Post by meg1793 »

Has anyone created a pre-upgrade validation checklist that they would be willing to share? I'm currently working on one, but running out of time and thought I'd hit up the geniuses in this forum for some quick help! I'm also happy to post my checklist when it's complete, so others can use it for validation.

Any help is very much appreciated, thank you!

The Cacti installer does this, but would be a nice pull request, or script to commit. A few things that are required now:

RRDtool 1.4+ (preferably 1.7+)
MariaDB 5.6+ (10.5 preferred)
PHP5.4+ (Soon to be PHP7.2+)

For Cacti 1.2, CentOS 7 or 8

With CentOS 8, you need php-fpm (default for httpd). For Debian OS', the requirements are the same. There are required php-modules too. It's all pretty strait fair though.
True understanding begins only when we realize how little we truly understand...

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?
