Upgrade your Phoniebox to a newer version

Note

This describes upgrading for Version 2.x (and even 1.x versions). For Version 3 please see here.

Which version am I on?

There is a file settings/version containing the version number.

Upgrade if you run on the latest Raspberry Pi OS legacy version or newer

The best way to upgrade would be running the one-line-install script.

If you run the script on top of an existing installation, the installer will detect the existing installation and ask you what to do (use audio files, use RFID configs, etc.). See below for details.

Upgrade if you run on anything older than the latest Raspberry Pi OS legacy version

If you plan to upgrade...

  1. Make a backup first. Ideally, backup the entire folder
    • /home/pi/RPi-Jukebox-RFID
  2. Then install a fresh system on a SD-Card
  3. Copy your backup to the new SD-Card, so that you have the same location as before:
    • /home/pi/RPi-Jukebox-RFID
  4. Run the one-line-install script
    • The script will detect your Phoniebox folder (which is why it is important that it's in the same location!)

How the install script reacts with an existing installation

When you start the installer, early on, after the WiFi settings, this will come up:

#####################################################
#
# . . . * alert * alert * alert * alert * . . .
# 
# WARNING: an existing Phoniebox installation was found.
# 
IMPORTANT: you can use the existing content and configuration files 
for your new install.
Whatever you chose to keep will be moved to the new install.
Everything else will remain in a folder called 'BACKUP'.

Re-use config, audio and RFID codes for the new install? [Y/n]

If you type Y you will get the following options:

Ok. You want to use stuff from the existing installation.
What would you want to keep? Answer now.

RFID config for system control (e.g. 'volume up' etc.)? [Y/n]
RFID shortcuts to play audio folders? [Y/n]
Audio folders: use existing? [Y/n
GPIO: use existing file? [Y/n]
Sound effects: use existing startup / shutdown sounds? [Y/n]

Legacy Upgrade Manuals

Upgrade for 2.x Versions

Assuming that you use git pull to update the code base of your Phoniebox, every now and then you need to run some update scripts, like patches. To make this somewhat consistent, I started this page to document things that need to be done.

If you still encounter problems after running the below upgrade snippets, check inside the folder scripts/installscripts/ for scripts which contain the entire install process.

Upgrade from Version 1.1.7 to 1.1.8

NOTE: version 1.1.8 is the master branch. If you run into issues, please ask them on the "issues" board on GitHub. [2018-12-10].

And in capital letters: YOUR BEST CHOICE IS TO GET A NEW SD CARD AND DO A FRESH INSTALL FOR THE NEW 1.1.8 VERSION, BECAUSE A LOT HAS CHANGED AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE UPGRADE SCRIPT BELOW (now you can't say you didn't know...)

We introduce Phoniebox Editions. To distinguish them, we call them "Phoniebox Classic" (out of the box, no Spotify) and "Phoniebox +Spotify" (Phoniebox with Spotify integration).

This is a bugfix-version. After release of "Phoniebox +Spotify" there were reported some problems, which are bugfixed now, hopefully. e.g. Improved loading time of local music (please go to "Folders & Files" and scan your library ONCE after update and everytime you upload new files to your box!). To reduce the boot up time of Phoniebox, be sure you are using the newest version of mopidy-spotify. The upgrade is integrated into the following steps.

Please use our spotify thread to post improvements regarding this feature.

git checkout master
git fetch origin
git reset --hard origin/master
git pull

Upgrade from Version 1.1.1 to 1.1.7

Not much has changed in the core of this version. There is the new feature: Integrating Spotify to your Phoniebox. Currently this is only a HOWTO document which needs improvement and your input. I invite everybody to use our spotify thread to post improvements regarding this feature. You might also want to improve the documentation on Spotify integration and create pull requests so I can merge this with the core.

Upgrading is therefore fairly simple. The following will overwrite any local changes to your code but NOT to your configruation files and systemd services, GPIO and the like. Only core code:

cd /home/pi/RPi-Jukebox-RFID
git checkout master
git fetch origin
git reset --hard origin/master
git pull

Upgrade from Version 1.1.1 to 1.1.6

A few important bug fixes. And a new design. And the option to decide what the 'second swipe' of a card does (see settings in the web app). The following should get you all you need, without running the install script if you only want to upgrade.

cd /home/pi/RPi-Jukebox-RFID
git checkout master
git fetch origin
git reset --hard origin/master
git pull
sudo chown -R pi:www-data /home/pi/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/shared
sudo chmod -R 775 /home/pi/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/shared
sudo chown -R pi:www-data /home/pi/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/htdocs
sudo chmod -R 775 /home/pi/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/htdocs
sudo chown -R pi:www-data /home/pi/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/settings
sudo chmod -R 777 /home/pi/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/settings
sudo cp /home/pi/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/misc/sampleconfigs/phoniebox-rfid-reader.service.stretch-default.sample /etc/systemd/system/phoniebox-rfid-reader.service 
sudo chown root:root /etc/systemd/system/phoniebox-rfid-reader.service
sudo chmod 644 /etc/systemd/system/phoniebox-rfid-reader.service
sudo systemctl enable rfid-reader

Upgrade from Version 1.0.0 to 1.1.1

This upgrade brings the web app UI for file management, recursive folder management, wifi switch off and more. The latest one-line Phoniebox install script contains all the necessary steps, but will treat your upgrade like a new install. Manual upgrade:

cd
cd /home/pi/RPi-Jukebox-RFID
git fetch
git checkout master
git pull
# settings for php.ini to support upload
# make backup
sudo cp /etc/php/7.0/fpm/php.ini /etc/php/7.0/fpm/php.ini.backup
# replace file
sudo cp /home/pi/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/misc/sampleconfigs/php.ini.stretch-default.sample /etc/php/7.0/fpm/php.ini
sudo chown root:root /etc/php/7.0/fpm/php.ini
sudo chmod 644 /etc/php/7.0/fpm/php.ini
sudo service lighttpd force-reload
sudo service php7.0-fpm restart

Upgrade to Version 1.0

As of version 1.0 there is a much simpler install procedure: copy and paste one line into your terminal and hit enter. Find out more about the one-line Phoniebox install script.

Upgrade from 0.9.5 to 0.9.7

  • Adding a Settings page in the web app to control features like 'idle shutdown' and 'max volume' and toggle systemd services
  • Documentation / troubleshooting / tricks: how to install via ssh, improve on board audio quality and the like
  • Adding auto shutdown when idle for longer than x minutes (see manual for details)
  • Adding maximum volume percent to settings (see manual for details)
  • Fixing bug: settings volume for stereo audio iFace
  • Fixing bug: bash code compatible with all shells
  • Web app enhancements (audio level, display 'playing now')
# services to launch after boot using systmed
sudo cp /home/pi/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/misc/sampleconfigs/phoniebox-idle-watchdog.service.sample /etc/systemd/system/phoniebox-idle-watchdog.service
sudo chown root:root /etc/systemd/system/phoniebox-idle-watchdog.service
sudo chmod 644 /etc/systemd/system/phoniebox-idle-watchdog.service
# the config file where you can add the minutes after which Phoniebox shuts down
echo "0" > /home/pi/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/settings/Idle_Time_Before_Shutdown
# enable and start the service
sudo systemctl enable phoniebox-idle-watchdog.service
sudo systemctl start phoniebox-idle-watchdog.service

Upgrade from 0.9.4 to 0.9.5

  • Configuration of RFID card control in extra file settings/rfid_trigger_play.conf
  • Playout control config now uses settings folder to store iFace value (e.g. PCM) and percentage of relative volume change
  • both bash scripts scripts/rfid_trigger_play.sh and scripts/playout_controls.sh are not created from .sample versions anymore, because the config has been moved to external files.

Upgrade to 0.9.4

  • The following script refers to the OS version 'Stretch' in some places but this should also work for 'Jessie'.
  • OS 'Stretch' and 'Jessie' require different lighttpd.conf parameters. Samples can be found in misc/sampleconfigs
