Updating Attendize

I’m using the super duper Attendize, a open-source ticketing system, for some of my activities. After having hard time to get it work, I found nearly 0 documentation about how to update it.

Fortunately, as it’s an open-source software, I was able to open an issue and ask the developer community around this software how to do it.

Update procedure · Issue #285 · Attendize/Attendize

So, in order to update your installation you have to :

1. Copy over files with the newer version (via SFTP)
2. Log-in with ssh to your server and enter php artisan migrate into the root folder to launch the database migration.

That’s it 🙌🏼.

I’m a little bit concerned about the FTP / SSH thing in 2017 so I’m gonna look to a better way to do it, with some CI tools to automate the file deployment and command running to migrate DB. Keep you posted 😉
