Update JetBrains TeamCity in one click
A small script developed to upgrade TeamCity with no or less effort! a very simple script, easily extensible.
“TeamCity is a continuous integration and build management system. With TeamCity, you can set up a build server within minutes and enjoy out of the box continuous unit testing, code quality analysis, and early reporting on build problems — even without leaving your favorite IDE. TeamCity offers a gentle learning curve, so you can quickly improve your release management practices by gradually adopting its advanced features and capabilities.”
Limitations
This script only work if
- You run TeamCity using the standalone package provided at http://www.jetbrains.com/teamcity/download/index.html#linux under #Linux
- You use MYSQL as an external DB
- You must run it as root (because getting the latest software with wget may not otherwise be possible)
- This script is not endorsed by JetBrains nor official.
- GNU/GPL version 3, use at your own risk, provided as IS
It must be safe to use, as
- It backup first your database

- it also copy any customizations (server.xml, agent build.properties) you have made to the new installation
- It download automatically and extract teamcity
