How do I update the VM Size options for Linux VMs? about azuretre

Hey @TonyWildish-BH can you attach a snippet of your file changes?

porter.yaml:

[...]
custom:
  # For information on vm_sizes and image_options, see README.me in the guacamole/user-resources folder
  vm_sizes:

hi tony and you version update in the porter file ??

[TonyWildish-BH]

Yes, I did. Can someone just tell me what the correct procedure is for updating the sizes? What I actually did so far probably isn’t worth debugging, since I don’t know what I’m doing. It would be preferable to have a correct recipe to follow, but I couldn’t find one in the docs, not for this.

Hi Tony. it is essentially as you have done already.
update the port file (including version)
update the template schema
rebuild the docker image
and then run the full pipeline. (we have a shortened one which just deploys the new bundle)
The above is a git deployment and your doing a manual deployment. There are 3 stages for a bundle, publish, register, deploy
so are you able to deploy using Git?

thanks @Danny-Cooke-CK, it helps to know I'm on the right track.
Those are the steps I've done, and yes, manually, the github actions pipeline doesn't work well enough for us to use.

So, I go through these steps, I see my new container deployed in the ACR, and I've verified that the linux VM container does contain my changes (run locally and inspect the contents),

However, my Guacamole instance still uses the old template. I create a new linux VM, check the template version it uses, it's the old one. I've tried deleting my Guacamole service and creating a new one, that doesn't help, it still uses the old template.

I've even tried bumping the Guacamole version and building/deploying that, but that didn't help either.

Do I need to do something specific for Guacamole to pick up the new template?
