Upgrade ERPNext 12 from Debian 9 to Debian 10

From OISecWiki


The base line i've did this with is ERPNext 12 on Debian 9 with Python 3.5. We use nginx as a reverse proxy frontend with letsencrypt certificates.

We need to upgrade this to ERPNext 12 on Debian 10 with Python 3.7.

First make a snapshot if you are running it in a VM. This makes it much easier to rollback after it fails. 

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade

Do not do an apt-get autoremove because this will remove python 3.5 and this will make the next step hell. 

reboot

Wait a while for mysql to upgrade all tables

Everything should work now. Next step upgrade to python 3.7 to remove unsupported python 3.5 in Debian 10. 

sudo -u frappe -s -H 
cd ~/frappe-bench 
bench migrate-env /usr/bin/python3.7
bench update

After this update gunicorn will not start. This is due to a newer version of werkzeug that is incompatible. We are going to force it to version 0.16.0. 

./env/bin/pip install werkzeug==0.16.0
bench update

Now everything is installed and working correctly. Time to remove the old packages 

apt-get autoremove

And we are done. ERPNext 12 on Debian 10 with Python 3.7. Snapshots can now be removed ;)
