# Release process guidance
## Pre-reqs
1. Make sure you have enterprise remote configured
```
git remote add enterprise <url>
```
1. Make sure you have singing key configured
1. Make sure you have github token with at least `read:org, repo, write:packages` permissions exported under `GITHUB_TOKEN` env variable.
You can create token [here](https://github.com/settings/tokens)
1. Make sure you're [authorized](https://hub.docker.com/orgs/victoriametrics/settings/enforce-sign-in/windows) for pushing docker images
### For MacOS users
Make sure you have GNU version of utilities `zip`, `tar`, `sha256sum`. To install them run the following commands:
```bash
brew install coreutils
brew install gnu-tar
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"
```
Docker may need additional configuration changes:
```bash
docker buildx create --use --name=qemu
docker buildx inspect --bootstrap
```
For ARM arch (M1/M2 processors) additionally configure docker with preferred platform:
```
export DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM=linux/amd64
```
By default, docker on MacOS has limited amount of resources (CPU, mem) to use.
Bumping the limits may significantly improve build speed.
## Release version and Docker images
1. Make sure that the release commits have no security issues.
1. Document all the changes for new release in [CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/docs/CHANGELOG.md) and update version if needed in [SECURITY.md](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/docs/SECURITY.md)
1. Add `(available starting from v1.xx.y)` line to feature docs introduced in the upcoming release.
1. Cut new version in [CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/docs/CHANGELOG.md)
and make it merged. See example in this [commit](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/commit/b771152039d23b5ccd637a23ea748bc44a9511a7).
1. Cherry-pick all changes from `master` to `cluster` branch, and to ENT branches `enterprise-single-node`, `enterprise-cluster`.
1. Cherry-pick bug fixes relevant for LTS releases.
1. Make sure you get all changes fetched `git fetch --all`.
1. Create the following release tags:
* `git tag -s v1.xx.y` in `master` branch
* `git tag -s v1.xx.y-cluster` in `cluster` branch
* `git tag -s v1.xx.y-enterprise` in `enterprise` branch
* `git tag -s v1.xx.y-enterprise-cluster` in `enterprise-cluster` branch
1. Run `TAG=v1.xx.y make publish-release`. This command performs the following tasks:
a) Build and package binaries in `*.tar.gz` release archives with the corresponding `_checksums.txt` files inside `bin` directory.
This step can be run manually with the command `make release` from the needed git tag.
b) Build and publish [multi-platform Docker images](https://docs.docker.com/build/buildx/multiplatform-images/)
for the given `TAG`, `TAG-cluster`, `TAG-enterprise` and `TAG-enterprise-cluster`.
The multi-platform Docker image is built for the following platforms:
* linux/amd64
* linux/arm64
* linux/arm
* linux/ppc64le
* linux/386
This step can be run manually with the command `make publish` from the needed git tag.
1. Push the tags `v1.xx.y` and `v1.xx.y-cluster` created at step 8 to public GitHub repository at https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics.
Push the tags `v1.xx.y`, `v1.xx.y-cluster`, `v1.xx.y-enterprise` and `v1.xx.y-enterprise-cluster` to the corresponding
branches in private repository.
**Important note:** do not push enterprise tags to public GitHub repository - they must be pushed only to private repository.
1. Run `TAG=v1.xx.y make github-create-release github-upload-assets`. This command performs the following tasks:
a) Create draft GitHub release with the name `TAG`. This step can be run manually
with the command `TAG=v1.xx.y make github-create-release`.
The release id is stored at `/tmp/vm-github-release` file.
b) Upload all the binaries and checksums created at step `9a` to that release.
This step can be run manually with the command `make github-upload-assets`.
It is expected that the needed release id is stored at `/tmp/vm-github-release` file,
which must be created at the step `a`.
If the upload process is interrupted by any reason, then the following recovery steps must be performed:
- To delete the created draft release by running the command `make github-delete-release`.
This command expects that the id of the release to delete is located at `/tmp/vm-github-release`
file created at the step `a`.
- To run the command `TAG=v1.xx.y make github-create-release github-upload-assets`, so new release is created
and all the needed assets are re-uploaded to it.
1. Go to <https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases> and verify that draft release with the name `TAG` has been created
and this release contains all the needed binaries and checksums.
1. Update the release description with the content of [CHANGELOG](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/docs/CHANGELOG.md) for this release.
1. Publish release by pressing "Publish release" green button in GitHub's UI.
1. Bump version of the VictoriaMetrics cluster in the [sandbox environment](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/ops/blob/main/gcp-test/sandbox/manifests/benchmark-vm/vmcluster.yaml)
by [opening and merging PR](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/ops/pull/58).
1. Bump VictoriaMetrics version at `deployment/docker/docker-compose.yml` and at `deployment/docker/docker-compose-cluster.yml`.
1. Follow the instructions in [release follow-up](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics-enterprise/blob/master/Release-Guide.md).
## Building snap package
pre-requirements:
* snapcraft binary, can be installed with commands:
for MacOS `brew install snapcraft` and [install multipass](https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/installing-multipass-on-macos/8329),
for Ubuntu - `sudo snap install snapcraft --classic`
* exported snapcraft login to `~/.snap/login.json` with `snapcraft export-login login.json && mkdir -p ~/.snap && mv login.json ~/.snap/`
* already created release at github (it operates `git describe` version, so git tag must be annotated).
1. checkout to the latest git tag for single-node version.
1. execute `make release-snap` - it must build and upload snap package.
1. promote release to current, if needed manually at release page [snapcraft-releases](https://snapcraft.io/victoriametrics/releases)
