Upgrade Process

openHABian

If you are working with an openHABian setup, the upgrade is quite easy. Regardless of if you are currently using the openHAB 2.1 stable release or one of the latest 2.2 SNAPSHOT builds, switching to openHAB 2.2.0 stable is done in just a few steps:

Connect to the SSH command line and execute: sudo openhabian-config
Select the „Update“ option
Wait for the openHABian update to finish, reenter the openHABian configuration tool
Select the „openHAB 2.2.0 stable“ option

Package-based Installations

For package based installations, you may be asked to replace some configuration files in /var/lib/openhab2. For best results select yes at each of these prompts. Old configurations can be found in the same place, but with dpkg-old appended to it.

APT

Make sure that openHAB is sourced from the latest location, has the correct GPG signing key and that your system can download .deb packages via HTTPS by following the instructions for a stable installation in the docs.

If the above is correct, simply upgrade by using:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Alternatively, you can force apt to install 2.2.0 and it’s optional addons with:

sudo apt-get install openhab2=2.2.0-1

## optional addons for offline installation ##
sudo apt-get install openhab2-addons=2.2.0-1
sudo apt-get install openhab2-addons-legacy=2.2.0-1

RPM

openHAB is also distributed in RPM packages. To use them, make sure that openHAB is sourced from the latest location, and has the correct GPG signing key for verification by following the stable installation instructions outlined in the docs.

If the above is correct, then simply upgrade using your systems package manager (yum, dnf, etc.)

sudo yum update

Alternatively, you can force apt to install 2.2.0 and its optional addons with:

sudo yum install openhab2-2.2.0

## optional addons for offline installation ##
sudo yum install openhab2-addons-2.2.0
sudo yum install openhab2-addons-legacy-2.2.0

Manual Installations

Offical update scripts are available that let you update your 2.1 installation to version 2.2:

Linux/MacOS

Change to your openHAB root directory (e.g. cd /opt/openhab2)
If you are upgrading from a version after and including 2.1.0, then simply run the command:

sudo ./runtime/bin/update 2.2.0

If you are upgrading from a version before 2.1.0, you can download and run the update script in one command using:

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openhab/openhab-distro/2.2.0/distributions/openhab/src/main/resources/bin/update)" -- 2.2.0

Windows

This is the first stable version with a Windows update script, therefore you will need to download the one packaged with 2.2.0 to upgrade. To do this, make sure to download update.ps1 and backup.ps1 from the github repository (right-click the page then „Save-As“) then save it to the runtime/bin folder of openHAB. To start the update process, run PowerShell as an administrator and use the following commands. Assuming you have openHAB saved in C:\openHAB:

cd C:\openHAB
. .\runtime\bin\update.ps1
Update-openHAB -OHVersion 2.2.0

Now that openHAB has updated, you only need to run the above commands again for future versions.

Breaking Changes that Require Manual Interaction after the UpgradeGeneral Changes

The logging framework has been upgraded to log4j2, which results in a different format of the logger configuration. So in case you have done changes to the org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg file, please re-apply those to the new version in the log4j2 format. For an example configuration, see this community post.
The configuration for the Inbox auto-approval (within services/runtime.cfg) has changed from autoapprove:enabled to org.eclipse.smarthome.inbox:autoApprove.

Rules

*.rules file are now validated upon startup. Warnings are logged, but won’t have any other impact, while files with errors will from now on be ignored by the runtime.
DateTimeType.getCalender() has been deprecated. The new DataTimeType.getZonedDateTime()should be used instead. In rules, (riseStart.state as DateTimeType).calendar.timeInMillis can be replaced with (riseStart.state as DateTimeType).zonedDateTime.toInstant.toEpochMilli to avoid the validation warning.

Running openhab using docker

There are small changes for running openHAB using docker. For both docker and docker-compose you have to pass a parameter to inform docker that it should ‚allocate a pseudo-TTY‘. The examples have been updated but the short explanation is that docker run needs either the -t or --tty parameter and docker-compose needs configuration format 2.1 and tty: true.

Interessiert in verschiedenste IT Themen, schreibe ich in diesem Blog über Software, Hardware, Smart Home, Games und vieles mehr. Ich berichte z.B. über die Installation und Konfiguration von Software als auch von Problemen mit dieser. News sind ebenso spannend, sodass ich auch über Updates, Releases und Neuigkeiten aus der IT berichte. Letztendlich nutze ich Taste-of-IT als eigene Dokumentation und Anlaufstelle bei wiederkehrenden Themen. Ich hoffe ich kann dich ebenso informieren und bei Problemen eine schnelle Lösung anbieten. Wer meinen Aufwand unterstützen möchte, kann gerne eine Tasse oder Pod Kaffe per PayPal spenden – vielen Dank.
