Upgrade issue

[zaqes]

When doing a "sift upgrade" I get this issue.

$ sudo sift upgrade

Update works fine though

I saw similar mentioned here, https://github.com/teamdfir/sift/issues/432#issuecomment-592017192 Maybe same issue?

Hi @zaqes , this looks like it might be a different issue, however, the Cast installer is the new CLI for installing SIFT.

Can you give that a shot and let us know how it turns out?

[zaqes]

Ah, I didn't think there was an official change yet.

How do I migrate from SIFT-CLI to Cast? Just install Cast or do I need to uninstall something?

[digitalsleuth]

You can just install Cast, then run sudo cast install teamdfir/sift-saltstack. If you want to run it in server mode (desktop is default) then use the command sudo cast install --mode=server teamdfir/sift-saltstack

[zaqes]

That worked fine. How do I update/upgrade with Cast?

[digitalsleuth]

Running the install command again will automatically fetch the latest, thus conducting an upgrade.

The sift-cli update command essentially re-installed the same version that was already installed to refresh the installation. That function isn't currently available in cast, and likely won't be required.

@ekristen Is there a future plan to add a separate update/upgrade command line for cast?

[ekristen]

That's a good question, install will always grab the latest and run everything.

update is simply an alias to install -version <current-version> upgrade is simply an alias to install

I may or may not add it, unsure, it caused a lot of confusion with people in the past, was trying to simplify.
