Migrations
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
When using the :code:`<version/>` tag in the model xml you automatically allow upgrades of your configuration data. If the
|
|
tag is missing, it will automatically assume your at version :code:`0.0.0` (initial version).
|
|
|
|
The migration feature provides a pluggable framework to offer new and changed attributes after installation of new software and
|
|
is therefor automatically triggered when performing upgrades or installing packages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. Tip::
|
|
You can always trigger migrations manually by executing :code:`/usr/local/opnsense/mvc/script/run_migrations.php` from
|
|
a console. This will output all installed modules and the upgrades performed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If no overrides are provided and the module version of the running configuration doesn't equal the one installed,
|
|
there automatically will be a migration created using the :code:`BaseModelMigration` base class.
|
|
This will take care of basic changes, such as adding new fields and applying defaults.
|
|
|
|
.. Note::
|
|
|
|
The current version will always be saved as an attirbute on the model xml (e.g. :code:`<Alias version="1.0.0">`)
|

Custom migrations
|
|
.............................
|
|
|
|
In some cases one wants to perform custom actions when upgrading between version, such as gathering data from legacy
|
|
configuration settings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The directory :code:`Migrations` in the model directory is used to hold the migration code on a per version basis.
|
|
By default classes (and files) in there use the following naming scheme: :code:`M1_0_0` which stands for [M]igration version
|
|
[1.0.0].
|
|
|
|
.. Note::
|
|
If different models share a namespace, you can change the prefix of the migration files, when nothing is provided
|
|
the default is **M**, the tag :code:`<migration_prefix/>` can be used to change this to something else. (e.g. :code:`<migration_prefix>MFP</migration_prefix>`)
|
|
|
|
The boilerplate for a model migration looks like this (for a migration to 1.0.0):
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: php
|
|
|
|
class M1_0_0 extends BaseModelMigration
|
|
{
|
|
/**
|
|
* default model migration
|
|
* @param $model
|
|
*/
|
|
public function run($model)
|
|
{
|
|
parent::run($model);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
/**
|
|
* post migration action, run after config sync
|
|
* @param $model
|
|
*/
|
|
public function post($model)
|
|
{
|
|
return;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
It contains two methods, :code:`run()` and :code:`post()`. The first one is executed in memory, before serializing data
|
|
back to the running configuration and for all version steps in sequence. (an upgrade from 1.0.0 to 1.0.2 might execute 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3).
|
|
The configuration data itself will be synced ones in this case.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The post action is called after normal model configuration and can sometimes be practical to alter the raw model xml, for example if
|
|
model versions require a move of datasets, without actually changing content.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. Note::
|
|
|
|
Although there are toggles in place, data migration can easily lead to race conditions. Always try to design your software for change,
|
|
adding fields which pass validation by default for example is always preferred above situations which will fail by default.
