Automating Git Updates for FOG

JJ Fullmer

In the past I made a script for automating svn updates. Since sourceforge has been making a habit of crashing lately, I decided to start using the git repo instead and adjusted my script to work with git.
I figured others might benefit from it so why not share…

#!/bin/bash

# -------------------------------------------
# Fog Git Updater
# -------------------------------------------
# -------------------------------------------
# Script Purpose
# -------------------------------------------
# This script is designed to run an automated update of the latest FOG Git dev build and it's cron friendly
# -------------------------------------------
# -------------------------------------------
# Some prereqs for this script
# -------------------------------------------
# 1. Already have an existing working install/configuration of FOG 1.0 or later
#
# 2. Have git installed and setup. You can do that by doing....
# 	sudo apt-get install git
#  	mkdir /home/fog/fogInstalls/git
#	git clone https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject.git /home/fog/fogInstalls/git
#
# 3. A script to echo the encrypted version of your sudo password, create one with this function
#	just put in your password into the following in place of your_super_secret_password (leave the quotes)
#	and then uncomment and copy paste the function into a terminal and then run it with just the name of the function pw
	# pw(){
	# 	touch /home/fog/fogInstalls/.~
	# 	ossl=`echo "your_super_secret_password" | openssl enc -des -a -e -pass pass:PASSWORD`
	# 	echo 'echo "$(echo '$ossl' | openssl enc -des -a -d -pass pass:PASSWORD)"' >> /home/fog/fogInstalls/.~
	# 	sudo chown fog.root /home/fog/fogInstalls/.~

Also, if you happen to have btsync set up, which I just gave a try using the guide here https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_to_trunk (Side note, I didn’t have to untar anything in a downloads folder and someone should probably edit the typo that says chrmod instead of chmod)

I set up my btsync to a folder called /home/fog/fogInstalls/btsync/fog Which is in a variable in the following script if you put it somewhere else and need to change it.

Another side note/question. For git my git pulls are around 300 MB or so, but the BTSYNC is a little less than 20 MB, am I getting all the files or is there something wrong with my config? That size difference is slightly concerning to me is all.

Anyway, here’s the btsync version of the update script that you could run whenever you get a btsync update.

This is good stuff.

It never hurts to have extra backups.
But fog does backup the web directory now, along with the database too. automatically. And the installer also updates only the packages that need updated. This is probably more stable than updating everything, because you have less things in motion at one time. Inside of the /opt/fog/.fogsnapins file, there is a backup setting now, which defines the backup path. The default is the home directory.
But again I’ll say that it never hurts to have extra backups.

@Arrowhead-IT the size difference is the folder that stores the data for btsync. For git and svn you’re pulling the whole tree, including past revisions. In the case of btsync the initial pull is of the same size as the svn or git pulls but you’re only getting he changed files rather than a whole new revision.
