If you already have a well-set-up and well-loved Archipelago (1.0.0-RC2) running Drupal 8 (D8), this documentation will allow you to update to 1.0.0-RC3 on Drupal 9 (D9) without any major issues.
D8 is no longer supported as of the end of November 2021. D9 has been around for a little while, and even if every module is not supported yet, what you need and want for Archipelago has long been ready for D9. However, Archipelago is still D8 compatible if it's necessary for you to stay back a little longer.
- An archipelago-deployment local instance 1.0.0-RC2 (working, tested) deployed using provided instructions via Docker and running Drupal 8.
- Basic knowledge and instincts (+ courage) on how to run Terminal Commands,
composer
anddrush
. - Patience. You can't skip steps here.
- For shell Commands documented here please copy line by line—not the whole block.
Backups are always going to be your best friends. Archipelago's code, database, and settings are mostly self-contained in your current archipelago-deployment
repo folder, and backing up is simple because of that.
On a terminal, cd
into your running archipelago-deployment
folder and shut down your docker-compose
ensemble by running the following:
docker-compose down
Verify that all containers are actually down. The following command should return an empty listing:
docker ps
If anything is still running, wait a little longer and run the command again.
Now let's tar.gz
the whole ensemble with data and configs. As an example we will save this into your $HOME
folder.
As a good practice we append the **current date **(YEAR-MONTH-DAY) to the filename. Here we assume today is December 1st of 2021.
cd ..
sudo tar -czvpf $HOME/archipelago-deployment-RC2-20211201.tar.gz archipelago-deployment
cd archipelago-deployment
The process may take a few minutes. Now let's verify that all is there and that the tar.gz
is not corrupt.
tar -tvvf $HOME/archipelago-deployment-RC2-20211201.tar.gz
You will see a listing of files, and at the end you will see something like this: Archive Format: POSIX pax interchange format, Compression: gzip
. If corrupt (Do you have enough space? Did your ssh connection drop?) you will see the following:
tar: Unrecognized archive format
Restart your docker-compose
ensemble, and wait a little while for all to start.
docker-compose up -d
Export/backup all of your live Archipelago configurations (this allows you to compare/come back in case you lose something custom during the upgrade).
docker exec esmero-php mkdir config/backup
docker exec esmero-php drush cex --destination=/var/www/html/config/backup
Good. Now it's safe to begin the upgrade.
First we are going to disable modules that are not part of 1.0.0-RC3 or are not yet compatible with D9. Run the following command:
docker exec esmero-php drush pm-uninstall module_missing_message_fixer markdown webprofiler key_value webform_views
From inside your archipelago-deployment
repo folder we are now going to open up file permissionss
for some of your most protected Drupal files.
sudo chmod 777 web/sites/default
sudo chmod 666 web/sites/default/*settings.php
sudo chmod 666 web/sites/default/*services.yml
Time to fetch the 1.0.0-RC3
branch and update our docker-compose
and composer
dependencies. We are also going to stop the current docker
ensemble to update all containers to newer versions:
docker-compose down
git checkout 1.0.0-RC3
Then copy the appropriate docker-compose
file for your architecture:
OSX (macOS)/x86-64:
cp docker-compose-osx.yml docker-compose.yml
Linux/x86-64/AMD64:
cp docker-compose-linux.yml docker-compose.yml
OSX (macOS)/Linux/ARM64:
cp docker-compose-arm64.yml docker-compose.yml
Finally, pull the images, and bring up the ensemble:
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d
Give all a little time to start. The latest min.io
adds a new console, and your Solr
core and Database
need to be upgraded. Please be patient. To ensure all is well, run (more than once if necessary) the following:
docker ps
You should see something like this:

Important here is the STATUS
column. It needs to be a number that goes up in time every time you run docker ps
again (and again).
Now we are going to tell composer
to actually fetch the new code and dependencies using the 1.0.0-RC3 provided composer.lock
and update the whole Drupal/PHP/JS environment.
docker exec -ti esmero-php bash -c "composer install"
This will fail (sorry!) for a few packages but no worries, they need to be patched and composer is not that smart so simply run it again:
docker exec -ti esmero-php bash -c "composer install"
Well done! If you see no issues and all ends in a Green colored message all is good! Jump to Step 4
If you have manually installed packages via composer in the past that are NO longer Drupal 9 compatible you may see errors. In that case you need to check each package website's (normally https://www.drupal.org/project/the_module_name) and check if there is a Drupal 9 compatible version.
If so run:
docker exec -ti esmero-php bash -c "composer require 'drupal/the_module_name:^VERSION_NUMBER_THAT_WORKS_ON_DRUPAL9_' --update-with-dependencies --no-update" and run **Step 3 ** again (and again until all is cleared)
If not, try to find a replacement module that does something similar, but in any case you may end up having to remove before proceding. Give us a ping/slack/google group/open a github ISSUE if you find yourself uncertain about this.
docker exec -ti esmero-php bash -c "composer remove drupal/the_module_name --no-update"
docker exec -ti esmero-php bash -c "drush pm-uninstall the_module_name"
We will now ask Drupal to update some internal configs and databases. The following commands are part of the from ZERO deployment. They will bring you up to date with RC3 settings and D9 particularities.
docker exec -ti esmero-php bash -c 'scripts/archipelago/setup.sh'
docker exec -ti esmero-php bash -c 'drush urol administrator "admin"'
docker exec -ti esmero-php bash -c "drush updatedb"
Previously D8 installations had a "module/profile" driven installation. Those are no longer used or even exist as part of core, but a profile can't be changed once installed so you have to do the following to avoid Drupal complaining about our new and simpler way of doing things (a small roll back):
docker exec -ti esmero-php bash -c "sed -i 's/minimal: 1000/standard: 1000/g' config/sync/core.extension.yml"
docker exec -ti esmero-php bash -c "sed -i 's/profile: minimal/profile: standard/g' config/sync/core.extension.yml"
Now you can sync your new Archipelago 1.0.0-RC3 and bring all the new configs and settings in. For this you have two options (no worries, remember you made a backup!):
A Partial Sync, which will bring new configs and update existing ones but will not remove ones that only exist in your custom setup, e.g. new Webforms or View Modes.
docker exec esmero-php drush cim -y --partial
A Complete Sync, which will bring new things and update existing but will also remove all the ones that are not part of RC3. It's a like clean factory reset.
docker exec esmero-php drush cim -y
If all goes well here and you see no errors it's time to reindex Solr
because there are new Fields. Run the following:
docker exec esmero-php drush search-api-reindex
docker exec esmero-php drush search-api-index
You might see some warnings related to modules dealing with previously non-existent data—no worries, just ignore those.
If you made it this far you are done with code/devops (are we ever ready?), and that means you should be able to (hopefully) stay in the Drupal 9 realm for a few years!
Recommended: If you want to add new templates and menu items 1.0.0-RC3 provides, run this:
docker exec -ti esmero-php bash -c 'scripts/archipelago/deploy.sh'
Once that is done, you can choose to update all Metadata Displays (twig templates) we ship with new 1.0.0-RC3 versions (heavily fixed IIIF manifest, Markdown to HTML for Metadata, better Object descriptions). But before you do this, we really recommend that you first make sure to manually (copy/paste) back up any Twig templates you have modified. If unsure, do not run the command that comes after this warning! You can always manually copy the new templates from the d8content/metadatadisplays
folder which contains text versions (again, copy/paste) of each shipped template you can pick and use when you feel ready.
If you are sure (like really?) you want to overwrite the ones you modified (sure, just checking?), then you can run this:
docker exec -ti esmero-php bash -c 'scripts/archipelago/update_deployed.sh'
Done! (For realz now)
Please log into your Archipelago and test/check all is working! Enjoy 1.0.0-RC3 and Drupal 9. Thanks!
