+
+Upgrade your leap_platform to 0.6 and make sure you have the latest leap_cli.
+
+**Update leap_platform:**
+
+ cd leap_platform
+ git pull
+ git checkout -b 0.6.0 0.6.0
+
+**Update leap_cli:**
+
+If it is installed as a gem from rubygems:
+
+ sudo gem update leap_cli
+
+If it is installed as a gem from source:
+
+ cd leap_cli
+ git pull
+ git checkout master
+ rake build
+ sudo rake install
+
+If it is run directly from source:
+
+ cd leap_cli
+ git pull
+ git checkout master
+
+To upgrade:
+
+ leap --version # must be at least 1.6.2
+ leap cert update
+ leap deploy
+ leap test
+
+If the tests fail, try deploying again. If a test fails because there are two tapicero daemons running, you need to ssh into the server, kill all the tapicero daemons manually, and then try deploying again (sometimes the daemon from platform 0.5 would put its PID file in an odd place).

if you see this error, simply restart the node.
CouchDB
--------
-. You can't deploy new couchdb nodes after one or more have been deployed. Make *sure* that you configure and deploy all your couchdb nodes when starting the provider. The problem is that we dont not have a clean way of adding couch nodes after initial creation of the databases, so any nodes added after result in improperly synchronized data. See Bug [#5601](https://leap.se/code/issues/5601) for more information.
+---------------------
-. In some scenarios, such as when certain components are unavailable, the couchdb syncing will be broken. When things are brought back to normal, shortly after restart, the nodes will attempt to resync all their data, and can fail to complete this process because they run out of file descriptors. A symptom of this is the webapp wont allow you to register or login, the /opt/bigcouch/var/log/bigcouch.log is huge with a lot of errors that include (over multiple lines): {error, emfile}}. We have raised the limits for available file descriptors to bigcouch to try and accommodate for this situation, but if you still experience it, you may need to increase your /etc/sv/bigcouch/run ulimit values and restart bigcouch while monitoring the open file descriptors. We hope that in the next platform release, a newer couchdb will be better at handling these resources.
+At the moment, we strongly advise only have one bigcouch server for stability purposes.

You can also see the number of file descriptors in use by doing:
# watch -n1 -d lsof -p `pidof beam`|wc -l
+The command `leap db destroy` will not automatically recreate new databases. You must run `leap deploy` afterwards for this.

User setup and ssh
------------------
-. if you aren't using a single ssh key, but have different ones, you will need to define the following at the top of your ~/.ssh/config:
- HostName <ip address>
- IdentityFile <path to identity file>
-
- (see: https://leap.se/code/issues/2946 and https://leap.se/code/issues/3002)
-
-. If the ssh host key changes, you need to run node init again (see: https://leap.se/en/docs/platform/guide#Working.with.SSH)
-
-. To remove an admin's access to your servers, please remove the directory for that user under the `users/` subdirectory in your provider directory and then remove that user's ssh keys from files/ssh/authorized_keys. When finished you *must* run a `leap deploy` to update that information on the servers.
+At the moment, it is only possible to add an admin who will have access to all LEAP servers (see: https://leap.se/code/issues/2280)
-. At the moment, it is only possible to add an admin who will have access to all LEAP servers (see: https://leap.se/code/issues/2280)
+The command `leap add-user --self` allows only one SSH key. If you want to specify more than one key for a user, you can do it manually:
-. leap add-user --self allows only one key - if you run that command twice with different keys, you will just replace the key with the second key. To add a second key, add it manually to files/ssh/authorized_keys (see: https://leap.se/code/issues/866)
+ users/userx/userx_ssh.pub
+ users/userx/otherkey_ssh.pub
+All keys matching 'userx/*_ssh.pub' will be used for that user.
Deploying
---------
-. If you have any errors during a run, please try to deploy again as this often solves non-deterministic issues that were not uncovered in our testing. Please re-deploy with `leap -v2 deploy` to get more verbose logs and capture the complete output to provide to us for debugging.
