@girish Oh, absolutely with a custom app, I mentioned in the original post that I'm going to build my own Wordpress Stack to simply and only add this. But I saw benefit to other user's being able to script something post-update as that's literally the only thing my stack will do differently than the default Wordpress app (I'll have to integrate your updates into my stack manually each time so I still wish there was a way to run an external custom sh script post-installation).

As you can see my custom script simply uses the CLI to upgrade all databases with any new required formatting if and only if any updated Wordpress core or updated plugin require it. When you update from the Cloudron interface, it simply updates all the files and Wordpress has this really annoying tendency to not upgrade the databases post-upgrade invisibly. The script above is the only way to make sure file versions and database versions stay in sync 100% of the time every update.

This becomes nearly unavoidable if you want to support multisite in the future since the problem becomes more convoluted in that installation type so my script detects multisite installations and runs database upgrades accordingly with WP CLI commands or single site only commands if it's a single site.

I actually think the script below should be an optional "automatic upgrade plugin and themes checkbox when updating Wordpress core" option for Wordpress installations as well, here's the WP CLI code for it:

# Plugin updates wp plugin update --all wp plugin update --all --skip-plugins --skip-themes # Theme updates wp theme update --all wp theme update --all --skip-plugins --skip-themes

Indeed this is on our roadmap.

I'd like to add to this. The ability to select the pass length and whether we want special characters. Or if it's easier to do, allow us to add our own passwords instead of them being generated for us.

Adding to this: Maybe it's possible to implement a backup browser via the file browser, at least for the rsync format and even for encrypted backups?

@robi @girish thanks, I figured it might be something like that as I think it was just after a reboot that I noticed they had disappeared.

@jdaviescoates nope, just regular domains, not sure why but will just wait and see I guess

Just to follow up, here's a sample of normal backups followed by a Cloudron upgrade, which itself triggered another backup run, and the corresponding relevant network and disk graphs:

All in all, it's definitely fast-er but not insanely performant. CPU utilization vs load hints that it may in fact be down to inefficient utilization of cores to some extent, but there is definitely a fair bit more bottleneck coming from the network still.

Nothing earth-shattering either way, and gains were more mild than I would have guessed, but all in all, not a bad outcome.

@robi Yes, more checks to keep the mounting "alive".

@fbartels We can always have a simple runner page preload indicating the rehydration of the app and how to avoid it.

Gamify it a bit..

Indeed, I have add a Media section now for next release.

+1 I often forget where Stop and Restart are found!

And it doesn't make sense to me that they are found in different places

Stop is hidden in Uninstall
Restart is in Repair

@nebulon Ahh okay that makes it clearer why this style was chosen.

I can live with that explanation. 👍

@nebulon Great guys! You're doing amazing !!!

@d19dotca said in UX Change for App Automatic Updates:

If "Updates are checked for everyday", then why would the text on the page read "If you disable automatic updates, be sure to manually check for updates."?

I changed this a bit to "Cloudron periodically checks the App Store for updates. If you disable automatic updates, be sure to manually apply the updates."

@jdaviescoates said in During restoring app: Cloudron page is showed:

Could we consider this a feature request to that effect?

Yes, that's what this feature request is 🙂 either make it customizable or merge it with the existing one.

@girish Great! @jdaviescoates 👍

@humptydumpty Not got a referral link and I tend to avoid using them on forums and tweets etc as I want to make sure my pointers are untainted but maybe an idea to load up the profile text with them for people that want to use them as a free beer sharing.

I have a few referral links on my website for those that might find but then I still need to do a bit more work on the declaration text part of that. The new Ghost snippets feature will make that and other common text a lot easier to do as time goes by.

I'm my own worst critic for writing though, so like to write and review several times over a long time period before I make something a standard text I'm happy with. Damn, this time-saving internet technology lark doesn't half take a lot of time! 😂

To add to what @subven said, there is also https://www.cloudron.io/appstatus.html which gives the latest version and update timeline.

Having this be a sticky default setting would be great..

@nebulon thought that might've been it, thanks 🙂
