On Ubuntu, upgrade standalone base ArcGIS Enterprise using Chef automation.

1. SSH to the EC2 instance as the ubuntu user.
2. Download and install Chef client 14 (if older Chef Client version is already installed, update it to either version 13 or 14). The following command will download and install Chef Client 14.12.9:
   
   

   curl -L https://omnitruck.chef.io/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- -v 14.12.9

3. Upload the 10.8.1 installation setup archive files to a folder, e.g. /data/software_archives folder.
   • ArcGIS_Web_Adaptor_Java_Linux_1081_175313.tar.gz
   • Portal_for_ArcGIS_Linux_1081_175300.tar.gz
   • ArcGIS_Server_Linux_1081_175289.tar.gz
   • ArcGIS_DataStore_Linux_1081_175312.tar.gz
   • Portal_for_ArcGIS_Web_Styles_Linux_1081_175311.tar.gz
4. Obtain Portal for ArcGIS 10.8 authorization (.json file) and ArcGIS Server 10.8 authorization files.
5. Download the ArcGIS Cookbook version 3.6.0 to the EC2 instance; untar and unzip it; copy over cookbooks folder inside it to replace the existing /var/chef/cookbooks.
6. Using a text editor, open the /etc/chef/node.json file and modify the following parameters, like the sample base_enterprise_allinone_ubuntu.json file.
   • Update the node['arcgis']['version'] to 10.8.1.
   • Update node['arcgis']['portal']['authorization_file'] for the new Portal for ArcGIS license files.
   • Update node['arcgis']['server']['authorization_file'] for the new ArcGIS Server authorization file.
   • Define node ['arcgis'][repository']['archives'] for the path to 10.8.1 setup archives.
   • Add "recipe[arcgis-enterprise::webstyles]" to the runlist if needed.
7. As ubuntu user, run the following command:
   
   

   sudo chef-solo -j /etc/chef/base_enterprise_allinone_ubuntu.json
