Installing a fix pack on Docker

Before you begin

To install a fix pack on Sametime 12.0, the following conditions must be satisfied:

HCL Sametime 12.0 is installed and configured
Sametime server has access to a MongoDB server

About this task

Creating a backup of the installation directory, allows you to return to your previous version if a problem occurs related to installing the fix pack.

Note: Make a backup of your key files, such as .env, custom.env and docker-compose.yml so that you can validate any custom settings from the previous installation. If you have placed files in the sametime-config folder like custom branding or TLS certificates, those files need to be restored after the fix pack is installed.

Procedure

In the directory where Sametime is installed, issue the following command to stop the Sametime server.
```
 docker-compose down 
```
Make a copy of the Sametime installation directory as a backup before installing the fix pack.
Copy the contents of the installation directory into another directory. For example, /sametime_install_backup where sametime_install is the Sametime installation directory.
Download and decompress the Sametime fix pack archive to the Sametime installation directory.
```
unzip sametime_fixpack_zip -d /sametime_install_path 
```
In the sametime_install directory, run the following script to initiate the installation process.
```
 ./install.sh
```
Follow the prompts to provide the required information. The install process detects if the install is an upgrade or full install.
