Sharing my working compiled steps to upgrade nodes to Cardano 1.35.0 for nodes
built using Coincashew or manual methods. This is NOT meant for nodes that were
built using CNTOOLS. Some good reference material have already been built for that.
While there has been material for Coincashew/manual builds, I have not seen a
complete compilation yet which included backup steps, dependency installation, and
some procedures that can reduce total downtime all combined.
As of this writing, Coincashew still had the steps to upgrade to a previous version
which was mostly parameterized. This makes it easy to update but not as easy to follow.
Hopefully, this sharing can help people who need it.
Although these steps are compiled by WISH Pool, we want to give credit also to the
incredible people from whom we copied large portions to create this
procedure. These include IOHK, Coincashew, Jack7E and jf3110
DISCLAIMER:
These upgrade steps are shared in good faith. While I have done multiple tests to
ensure it is working before I shared it, you may encounter issues unique to your
setup. For example, it is likely that your directories and currently installed apps
are different from mine.
Therefore, please do your own checks and adjust the commands accordingly.
I suggest that you backup your node first before doing the upgrade so you can easily
fall back to your backup if something goes wrong. As usual, try the upgrade on your
testnet nodes first and make sure they are working before updating mainnet.
Good luck!

- At this point, if you want to keep your node up as long as possible, I recommend you DO NOT shutdown your node and update your Config files yet. You can do this at a later stage after you have compiled the new binaries

### Copy latest config files
# Stop Cardano node before updating config files
sudo systemctl stop cardano-node.service
# Use these commands to refresh the config files from IOHK
cd $HOME/cardano-my-node
wget -N https://hydra.iohk.io/job/Cardano/cardano-node/cardano-deployment/latest-finished/download/1/${NODE_CONFIG}-config.json

* You probably don't want to overwrite your current topology files but if for some reason you want to overwrite your topology file, uncomment the command below and run it
#wget -N https://hydra.iohk.io/job/Cardano/cardano-node/cardano-deployment/latest-finished/download/1/${NODE_CONFIG}-topology.json
# Install the binary files
# Replace binary files
sudo cp $(find $HOME/git/cardano-node2/dist-newstyle/build -type f -name "cardano-node") /usr/local/bin/cardano-node

# Verify versions are properly installed
cardano-node version
cardano-cli version
### Reboot to refresh the system
sudo reboot
# Do this only if you need to manually start cardano service
sudo systemctl start cardano-node.service
# Organize git directory
cd $HOME/git
mv cardano-node/ cardano-node-old/
mv cardano-node2/ cardano-node/
# That's it! You have completed the upgrade to Cardano 1.35.0
