How to update TriggerMesh

Overview

Below is a breakdown of the main TriggerMesh components that have their own release cycles and hence their own versioning:

When TriggerMesh makes minor or major releases, the umbrella version number used is that of triggermesh/triggermesh.

With that in mind, here is what you need to know when updating these components, for example if a new release includes fixes or features you'd like to access.

Updating tmctl

There are different ways to update tmctl, depending on you operating system and how you installed tmctl:

  • If you used homebrew, you can run brew upgrade triggermesh/cli/tmctl
  • If you used one of the pre-built binaries, you can replace the existing binary with the new one. The script provided with curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/triggermesh/tmctl/HEAD/hack/install.sh | sh will do this automatically

Warning

Updating tmctl will not impact the versions of TriggerMesh components it uses.

To update the version of components used by tmctl, you need to update tmctl configuration to point to the version of the TriggerMesh components you want it to use.

You can view the current version used with the tmctl version command, which produces the following output:

CLI:
 Version:  v1.0.0
 Commit:  08be377e0f5fb77cee7fdd2d0ad026297245b8eb
 OS/Arch: darwin/arm64

TriggerMesh:
 Components version:  v1.22.0

Docker:
  Docker Desktop 4.6.1 (76265)

To switch to another version of the TriggerMesh components, you can use the command:

tmctl config set triggermesh.version v1.23.0

Updating TriggerMesh on K8s

If you've installed an older version of TriggerMesh, you can simply update it by following the installation guide with the latest versions of the CRDs and controllers or by using the latest helm chart.

Please carefully read the release notes before performing an update. There maybe be backwards incompatible changes to components that require changes to your configurations. It is your responsibility as the user to make any necessary migrations.
