Managing Resin on Ubuntu

When I new release of Resin comes out, I often want to test out that some getting started tutorials are up to date and working as advertised.

In order to do this, I like to completely remove Resin off of one of my Ubuntu instances. These steps should also work with Debian.

Is Resin installed with apt-get or Debian package manager?

To see if Resin is installed at all, do this:

$ dpkg --get-selections | grep resin

Output

resin-pro					install

What version of Resin is installed?

To see what version of Resin you are running, you can do this:

$ dpkg -l | grep resin-pro

Output

ii  resin-pro                              4.0.26                                  Resin application server

Or this if Resin is running:

$ resinctl status

Output

Resin/4.0.26 status for watchdog at 127.0.0.1:6600

watchdog:
  watchdog-pid: 19766

server 'app-0' : ACTIVE
  password: missing
  watchdog-user: root
  user: www-data(www-data)
  root: /var/www
  conf: /etc/resin/resin.xml
  pid: 27326
  uptime: 25 days 16h21

See what Installs with Resin

To see what files are part of this version of Resin do this.

$ dpkg -L resin-pro  

This list is very long so if you wanted to see what Resin puts in /etc you could do this:

$ dpkg -L resin-pro  | grep /etc

Output

/etc
/etc/init.d
/etc/init.d/resin
/etc/resin
/etc/resin/resin.xml
/etc/resin/cluster-default.xml
/etc/resin/app-default.xml
/etc/resin/resin.properties
/etc/resin/resin-inf
/etc/resin/health.xml

To see what Resin installs in usr/local/share you can do this:

$ dpkg -L resin-pro  | grep /usr/local

Output

I also find it useful to see what is installed sans the docs folder so you can pipe to grep -v (the -v means only show me stuff that does not match the pattern).

$ dpkg -L resin-pro  | grep -v "/www/doc"

Output
