Rolling back Management Console

Should you need to roll back your Management Console to a previous version, please follow the procedure below.

  • Find the Management Console backup that was done before the update (you'll need it later) and copy it to a safe place
  • Stop Management Console service
  • Uninstall Management Console via Windows "Add or Remove programs"
  • Copy files from the backup on top of existing files:
    db.sqlite to c:\ProgramData\Resilio\Connect Server\data\data.db
    history.sqlite to c:\ProgramData\Resilio\Connect Server\data\history.db
    Note that the actual path of data.db and history.db may vary if your installation has non-default storage folder location.
  • Download and install the old version of Management Console you had before. 
    Stick to the same installation method and parameters that you used previously (for example, this may be automated or silent installation). Do not start it. 
  • If you know that non-default value of memory limit for the service was set before downgrade, open Registry Editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\resilio-connect-server and update the key ImagePath, parameter --max_old_space_size, and put the desired value there. Save. 
    Starting with Resilio Connect 3.8.2, this parameter is replaced with CUSTOM_MEMORY_LIMIT. If you know you rollback from 3.8.2 to the older version where the non-default memory limit was set, be sure to replace CUSTOM_MEMORY_LIMIT with --max_old_space_size before downgrade.

  • Start the Management Console and login there. Check its version - it should be the same as before update.
  • Find the Management Console backup that was done before the update (you'll need it later) and copy it to a safe place
  • Stop Management Console process
  • Copy files from the backup on top of existing files:
    db.sqlite to {resilio-connect-server}/var/data/data.db
    history.sqlite to {resilio-connect-server}/var/data/history.db
    Note that the actual path of data.db and history.db may vary if your installation has non-default storage folder location.
  • Download old version tarball of Management Console you had before the update from Resilio download page.
  • Untar old version on top of existing installation. Note, that the tarball contains "resilio-connect-server" folder, so if your console runs in /opt/resilio-connect-server, the tarball should be unpacked to /opt
  • If you know that non-default value of memory limit for the service was set before downgrade, open srvctrl in a text editor and update value of --max_old_space_size parameter as needed.
    Starting with Resilio Connect 3.8.2, this parameter is replaced with CUSTOM_MEMORY_LIMIT. If you know you rollback from 3.8.2 to the older version where the non-default memory limit was set, be sure to replace CUSTOM_MEMORY_LIMIT with --max_old_space_size before downgrade.

  • Run the Management Console. If the rollback was to v3.6.x and not older, launch "update-or-install" script. If the MC was tolled back to version older than 3.6.x, start MC via srvctrl or using systemctl.
  • Login to your Management Console and check its version - it should be the same as before update.
