Restarting DSMR-reader

You might want or need to restart DSMR-reader manually at some time, without updating. E.g. due to altered settings that need to be reapplied to DSMR-reader.

  • Log in as the dsmrreader user and run:
shell
sudo su - dsmrreader
podman-compose up -d
  • If no settings were changed, this will have no effect. Then run this instead:
shell
podman-compose restart dsmr

Minor updates (v6.X to v6.Y)

When a new minor version of DSMR-reader is released (e.g. v6.0 to v6.1).

Note that we are using podman-compose, everywhere, and not podman compose (note the dash/whitespace difference). Using the latter will result in different behavior!

  • Log in as the dsmrreader user and run:
shell
sudo su - dsmrreader
podman-compose pull
podman-compose up -d

Check in DSMR-reader if you are now running the latest version in the series.

Major updates (vX.* to vY.*)

When a new major version of DSMR-reader is released (e.g. v6.x to v7.0) you need to follow additional steps.

  • Start by updating to the latest minor version of your current major version first (e.g. v5.11 to v5.12). See minor updates above.

If that works, check the Changelog for any special instructions before updating to the next major. Some incompatible changes may be there, e.g. unsupported database versions or featured removed from DSMR-reader.

  • Log in as the dsmrreader user:
shell
sudo su - dsmrreader
  • Open the Compose YAML file and change the image tag to the new major version.
    • For example, to upgrade to DSMR-reader v7.x (in the future), change dsmr-reader-docker:6 to dsmr-reader-docker:7
compose.yml (simplified version)
services:
    dsmr:
        # This will always use the latest minor release within the major DSMR-reader vX version specified below (dsmr-reader-docker:X)
        image: ghcr.io/xirixiz/dsmr-reader-docker:7
  • To apply, now run:
shell
podman-compose up -d

Check in DSMR-reader if you are now running the latest version in the series.
