Upgrade Graylog 6.1.11 to 6.2.2 - Debian install

Software & Web Applications

Hello,

I’m sorry in advance because English is not my mother language and I’m a fairly newbie in such installation. :slight_smile:

Here is my situation:

  • I’m running Graylog in a LXC container within PROXMOX 8.4.1.
  • The LXC container and Graylog were created with the help of a Proxmox community script (community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/raw/main/ct/graylog)

graylog-6.1-repository 1-1
graylog-datanode 6.1.11-1
graylog-server 6.1.11-1
mongodb-database-tools 100.12.1
mongodb-mongosh 2.5.1
mongodb-org 7.0.20
mongodb-org-database 7.0.20
mongodb-org-database-tools-extra 7.0.20
mongodb-org-mongos 7.0.20
mongodb-org-server 7.0.20
mongodb-org-shell 7.0.20
mongodb-org-tools 7.0.20

So far everything is working nice. I get the log of my UCG max and Proxmox machine.

Here is my concern (and probably future issue) ; I get in the Graylog application (GUI) a message telling me that I’m using an old version, that a 6.2.2 version is available.

I try to upgrade following the community script instructions (running the same script) without success, at the end I get the same version installed.

I’ve trying to solve this by googling and I think that I’ve found the issue, seems that I cannot get the latest package…

Installed: 6.1.11-1
Candidate: 6.1.11-1
Version table:
*** 6.1.11-1 500
500 https://downloads.graylog.org/repo/debian stable/6.1 amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
6.1.10-1 500
500 https://downloads.graylog.org/repo/debian stable/6.1 amd64 Packages
6.1.9-1 500
500 https://downloads.graylog.org/repo/debian stable/6.1 amd64 Packages
6.1.8-1 500

6.1.7-1 500
500 https://downloads.graylog.org/repo/debian stable/6.1 amd64 Packages
…

I try to find out the means to get the 6.2.2 package available (my guess is that the script will do the job with the new package) but I’m not 100% sure that my comprehension of the issue is the right one.

Could you comment, show me the right track to solve this?
A warm thank you in advance.

Welcome to the forums. I can’t offer much help as I have not tested setting it up in any other way besides docker.

Let me preface this with the fact that I have not done this and have no direct experience with graylog besides installing it once to tinker for a weekend.

Based on the output you provided, it looks like the script must set up an apt repository. Have a look in the files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d and see if there’s a graylog repo. If so, open the file and check it out. Maybe there’s a hard coded version number in there.

Also, definitely check the documentation (Upgrade Graylog). A lot of these types of software suites have specific version upgrade requirements.

Thank you for your help.

A warm thank you, the Graylog version the update script is effectly hardcoded within this file “/etc/apt/sources.list.d/graylog.list”

Thank you for your time.
