To upgrade to this release of Dapr, follow the steps here to ensure a smooth upgrade. You know, the one where you don't get red errors on the terminal.. we all hate that, right?
Uninstall Dapr using the CLI you currently have installed. Note that this will remove the default $HOME/.dapr directory, binaries and all containers dapr_redis, dapr_placement and dapr_zipkin. Linux users need to run sudo if docker command needs sudo:
dapr uninstall --all
For RC releases like this, download the latest and greatest release from here and put the dapr binary in your PATH.
Once you have installed the CLI, run:
dapr init --runtime-version=1.6.0
Wait for the update to finish, ensure you are using the latest version of Dapr(1.6.0) with:
$ dapr --version
CLI version: 1.6.0
Runtime version: 1.6.0
You can perform zero-downtime upgrades using both Helm 3 and the Dapr CLI.
Download the latest RC release from here and put the dapr binary in your PATH.
To upgrade Dapr, run:
dapr upgrade --runtime-version 1.6.0 -k
To upgrade with high availability mode:
dapr upgrade --runtime-version 1.6.0 --enable-ha=true -k
Wait until the operation is finished and check your status with dapr status -k.
All done!
Note: Make sure your deployments are restarted to pick the latest version of the Dapr sidecar
To upgrade Dapr using Helm, run:
helm repo add dapr https://dapr.github.io/helm-charts/
helm repo update
helm upgrade dapr dapr/dapr --version 1.6.0 --namespace=dapr-system --wait
Wait until the operation is finished and check your status with dapr status -k.
All done!
Note: Make sure your deployments are restarted to pick the latest version of the Dapr sidecar
Please see how to deploy Dapr on a Kubernetes cluster for a complete guide to installing Dapr on Kubernetes
