Upgrading the Driverless AI Marketplace Image

Note that the first offering of the Driverless AI Marketplace image was 1.5.2. As such, it is only possible to upgrade to versions greater than that.

Perform the following steps if you are upgrading to a Driverless AI Marketeplace image version greater than 1.5.2. Replace dai_NEWVERSION.deb below with the new Driverless AI version (for example, dai_1.5.4_amd64.deb). Note that this upgrade process inherits the service user and group from /etc/dai/User.conf and /etc/dai/Group.conf. You do not need to manually specify the DAI_USER or DAI_GROUP environment variables during an upgrade.

# Stop Driverless AI.
sudo systemctl stop dai

# Make a backup of /opt/h2oai/dai/tmp directory at this time.

# Upgrade Driverless AI.
sudo dpkg -i dai_NEWVERSION.deb
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start dai
