We have an installation of LimeSurvey to create surveys:

https://survey.tails.boum.org/

Infrastructure

Puppet configuration files:

• https://git-tails.immerda.ch/puppet-tails/tree/manifests/limesurvey.pp
• https://git-tails.immerda.ch/puppet-tails/tree/files/limesurvey/sudo/limesurvey-admin

Git repositories:

• Upstream repo in https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey.git.

• Updates repo in /var/lib/limesurvey/ which is synced automatically to the upstream repo.

• Production repo in /var/www/limesurvey which has the update repo as origin.

Updating LimeSurvey

1. Read the release notes:

   https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/master/docs/release_notes.txt.

2. Connect to the platform:

   ssh 7vz7psas6zqqdszg.onion
   

3. Update the backup of the database in case things go wrong:

   sudo /usr/sbin/backupninja --now --debug --run /etc/backup.d/10.mysql
   

4. Login as www-data:

   sudo -u www-data bash
   

5. Fetch the changes from the updates repo:

   git fetch origin
   

6. Check the version number in the production repo and the updates repo:

   git log master
   git log origin/master
   

7. Merge the updates repo (or the upstream repo) into the production repo:

   git merge $TAG
   

8. Check the version in the footer of:

   https://survey.tails.boum.org/index.php/admin/index

   While doing so you might be prompted to apply database updates.
