Upgrading .54 to .55 failing

[evmarshall]

Hi - I’ve been running email and dns on MIAB for about 3 years. Never have had ANY problems but I’m finding that I cannot upgrade from .54 to .55.

I’ve run all the Something Went Wrong steps and rerun the installer. No change. Everything is green except for the upgrade. 40GB remaining. 80% free memory.

This is the upgrade session:

root@box:~# curl -s https://mailinabox.email/setup.sh | sudo bash

Aborting
Update failed. Did you modify something in /root/mailinabox?

I have not made any changes to any files but in all my digging the only thing that I’m considering may have had an effect is that I resized the VPS where MIAB is hosted.

Could that be the issue? If so, can that be resolved? What else should I be investigating?

Thanks for a great project.

For some reason git is reporting changes to dns_update.py.

I am weak with git and might be wrong:

If I read that correctly, you can use git stash with the appropriate permissions from the mailinabox/ directory to “stash” the changes, whatever that does.

Also, I think if you are in the mailinabox/ directory you can run git status and it will show what it thinks the changes are.

ROCK n ROLL! Git fixed it. Thanks openletter.
