IBM Cloud Automation Manager Content Runtime deployment installs either Docker CE or Docker EE on the Content Runtime system based on user selection. Docker CE is installed either using Docker provided convenience scripts or using the installation binary provided by the user. Docker EE is installed using the Docker EE repository URL provided by the user or the installation binary provided by the user.

Before you upgrade the Docker Engine:
 
1. Execute the following command to verify the docker engine version that is running on your Content Runtime system.
 
docker version
 
If the version is lower than 19.03.11 then you need to upgrade it to 19.03.11 or higher.
 
2. Make sure you have no middleware content template deployments, destroys or deletes in “Progress” state. If they are in Progress state, then wait for them to complete.
 
3. Execute the following command to bring down the pattern manager and software repository containers on the Content Runtime system.
 
cd /root/advanced-content-runtime
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml down
 
Upgrade Docker CE on Ubuntu
 
1. Execute the following command to update the apt packages
 
sudo apt-get update
 
2. List the versions available in your repo. Verify if the version you need is in the list.
 
sudo apt-cache madison docker-ce
 
3. Install a specific version by its fully qualified package name.
 
sudo apt-get install docker-ce=<VERSION_STRING> docker-ce-cli=<VERSION_STRING> containerd.io
where version string is the second column from output of step 2
   
Example:
      
sudo apt-get install docker-ce=5:19.03.12~3-0~ubuntu-xenial docker-ce-cli=5:19.03.12~3-0~ubuntu-xenial containerd.io
 
4. Verify the docker version using the following command
 
sudo docker version
 
5. Restart the containers using the following command
 
cd /root/advanced-content-runtime
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d
 
6. Verify if the containers are started by executing the following command.
 
sudo docker ps
 
For more details on install and upgrade of Docker CE on Ubuntu refer to https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/
 
Upgrade Docker EE on Ubuntu
 
1. Execute the following command to set up the repository for Docker Engine 19.03
 
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] <YOUR_DOCKER_EE_REPO_URL>/ubuntu <YOUR_UBUNTU_VERSION> stable-19.03"
 
Example: sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://storebits.docker.com/ee/trial/sub-xxx/ubuntu xenial stable-19.03"
 
2. Execute the following command to update the apt packages
 
sudo apt-get update
 
3. List the versions available in your repo. Verify if the version you need is in the list.
 
sudo apt-cache madison docker-ee
 
4. Install a specific version by its fully qualified package name
 
sudo apt-get install docker-ee=<VERSION_STRING> docker-ee-cli=<VERSION_STRING> containerd.io
 
Example: sudo apt-get install docker-ee=5:19.03.12~3-0~ubuntu-xenial docker-ee-cli=5:19.03.12~3-0~ubuntu-xenial containerd.io
 
5. Verify the docker version using the following command
 
sudo docker version
 
6. Restart the containers using the following command
 
cd /root/advanced-content-runtime
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d
 
7. Verify if the containers are started by executing the following command.
 
sudo docker ps
 
 
Upgrade Docker EE on Red Hat Linux
 
1. Execute the following command to set up the repository for Docker Engine 19.03
 
sudo yum-config-manager --enable docker-ee-stable-19.03
 
2. List the versions available in your repository. Verify if the version you need is in the list.
 
sudo yum list docker-ee --showduplicates | sort -r
 
3. To upgrade 19.03 execute:
    
sudo yum -y install docker-ee-< version_string > docker-ee-cli-< version_string > containerd.io
 
where version_string is the second column from output of step 2 starting at the first colon (:), up to the first hyphen.
 
Example: sudo yum -y install docker-ee-19.03.12 docker-ee-cli-19.03.12 containerd.io
 
4. Verify the docker version using the following command
 
sudo docker version
 
5. Restart the containers using the following command
 
cd /root/advanced-content-runtime
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d
 
6. Verify if the containers are started by executing the following command.
 
sudo docker ps
 
For more details on install and upgrade of Docker EE on Red Hat Linux refer to https://docs.mirantis.com/docker-enterprise/v3.1/dockeree-products/docker-engine-enterprise/dee-linux/rhel.html
 
Upgrade Docker installed using binary files
 
If you installed Docker on Content Runtime virtual machine using the Docker Installation file option during Content Runtime deployment, then you need to download the debian or rpm package from Docker and upgrade the package.
 
For more information, depending on your operating system and Docker Engine Edition, refer to Upgrade section in one of the following links
 
 
Note: You must download and install docker-cli, containerd.io and docker-ce (or docker-ee).
 
For Ubuntu execute the following steps
 
1.    Upgrade to new version using
 
sudo dpkg -i <PATH_TO_UPGRADE_PACKAGE>
 
2.    Verify the docker version using
 
docker version
 
3.    Restart the containers using the following command
 
cd /root/advanced-content-runtime
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d
 
4.    Verify if the containers are started by executing the following command.
 
docker ps
 
For Red Hat execute the following steps
 
1.    Upgrade to new version using
 
sudo yum -y upgrade <PATH_TO_UPGRADE_PACKAGE>
 
2.    Verify the docker version using
 
docker version
 
3.    Restart the containers using the following command
 
cd /root/advanced-content-runtime
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d
 
4.    Verify if the containers are started by executing the following command.
 
docker ps
