Sendy is a self-hosted Newsletter manager. We've got a couple instance of Sendy running, and instead of manually upgrading each when a new version comes out, we simply run the following script for each. It's based off of the instructions from Sendy's Get Updated Page.
#!/bin/bash # This script upgrades a sendy installation, retaining the configuration, # languages & uploads. if [ $# -ne 2 ]; then echo "Usage: sendy_upgrade.sh <upgrade zip file> <install folder>" echo "" echo " sendy_upgrade.sh ~/sendy-2.0.1.zip ~/public_html/sendy" exit fi SENDY_PACKAGE="$1" SENDY_INSTALL_DIR="$2" # Unzip the package UNZIP_DIR="$HOME/sendy" TEMP_SENDY_DIR="$UNZIP_DIR/sendy" mkdir -p $UNZIP_DIR unzip $SENDY_PACKAGE -d $UNZIP_DIR # Remove files we will replace rm -rf $TEMP_SENDY_DIR/includes/config.php $TEMP_SENDY_DIR/.htaccess \ $TEMP_SENDY_DIR/uploads $TEMP_SENDY_DIR/locale/en_US # Copy over files from old installation cp $SENDY_INSTALL_DIR/includes/config.php $TEMP_SENDY_DIR/includes/ cp $SENDY_INSTALL_DIR/.htaccess $TEMP_SENDY_DIR/ cp -r $SENDY_INSTALL_DIR/uploads $SENDY_INSTALL_DIR/locale $TEMP_SENDY_DIR # Backup & Replace the old installation CURRENT_TIME="`date +%s`" BACKUP_DIR="$HOME/sendy_backup_$CURRENT_TIME/" mkdir -p $BACKUP_DIR mv $SENDY_INSTALL_DIR $BACKUP_DIR mv $TEMP_SENDY_DIR $SENDY_INSTALL_DIR rm -rf $UNZIP_DIR echo "Sendy upgrade Complete!"
A paste is available here, along with a raw version.
To use the script, you should download the latest version of Sendy to your server's home folder. You can grab the script using wget:
wget http://sleepanarchy.com/p/k80BK1/raw -O upgrade_sendy.sh
Then just point it to the correct zip file & installation directory:
bash upgrade_sendy.sh ~/sendy-2.0.1.zip ~/public_html/sendy
Your configuration file, .htaccess, languages & uploads will be retained and a backup will be created in your home folder.
