Linux - tarball to RPM/DEB

If you're running a Management Console instance installed from a tarball archive you can switch to a DEB or RPM based packages.

Prerequisites

Architecture: x64 (amd64, x86_64)
Init manager: systemd (with systemctl)

Note

Even though legacy init.d script is available in the packages, it is not guaranteed to work on every GNU/Linux distribution, so it's recommended to use a distribution with systemd.

The Management Console installed from a tarball archive is, by default, extracted to the /opt folder.

To update a Management Console installed from a tarball archive to a DEB/RPM package:

Upgrade the Management Console to the latest version and stop the service.
Install the same version of Management Console using DEB/RPM package. During the installation a new service file /lib/systemd/system/resilio-connect-management-console.service and a new Management Console storage folder in /var/opt/resilio-connect-management-console are created.
Edit /lib/systemd/system/resilio-connect-management-console.service file and change "user" and "group" to the user that used to run the current Management Console instance.
Copy the content of the tarball-installed Management Console's storage folder /opt/resilio-connect-server/var/ to new storage folder of the package-installed Management Console /var/opt/resilio-connect-management-console/.
Start the package-installed Management Console.
Disable the Management Console daemon if it's been registered during installation if it was registered before.
