GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON redcap6168_briccsext.* TO 'briccsext02_user'@'uhlbriccsext01.xuhl-tr.nhs.uk';

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON redcap6168_briccsext.* TO 'briccsext02_user'@'uhlbriccsext02.xuhl-tr.nhs.uk';

Upgrade Redcap using Docker

Go to your home directory and checkout from git docker_redcap_upgrade

sudo git clone https://github.com/LCBRU/docker_redcap_upgrade

This will create a directory /home/<USER>/docker_redcap_upgrade

This docker script upgrades an existing redcap installation.

The first step is to zip the existing redcap installation, this could be either

1. The directory /var/www/redcap on a virtual machine.

cd /var/www/redcap

sudo zip -r redcap_v5.7.0.zip *

Move this file into /home/<USER>/docker_redcap_upgrade

2. The directory /var/www/redcap within a running Docker container.

Connect to existing docker container using

sudo docker exec -i -t <CONTAINERID> /bin/bash

cd /var/www/redcap

sudo zip -r redcap_v5.7.0.zip *

sudo mv redcap_v5.7.0.zip /share/

exit

redcap_v5.7.0.zip should now be available on the host machine. In the directory /share/

Move this file into /home/<USER>/docker_redcap_upgrade

sudo docker build -t lcbruit/redcap_fresh:v6.16.6 .

sudo docker run -v /share:/share -itd -p 80:80 lcbruit/redcap_fresh:v6.16.6

sudo docker exec -i -t cbd3b580bd1b /bin/bash
