Is it possible/safe to install Client Push App ?

[mononym]

Hello. Short question: I wonder if I can install the Client Push App, as described in https://github.com/nextcloud/notify_push ? Basically, does the setup work when running sudo -u www-data php -f /app/code/occ notify_push:setup. Thx

Hello @mononym

You can always create a clone from your latest backup and tinker with the clone.
With that approach you risk nothing and can report findings.

@james unfortunately that's not possible because of storage capacity. All data is on the primary storage. I'll maybe give it a try after a regular backup.

You can always play in the demo cloudron

I don’t think this is possible within Cloudron. For push to work, you need to create a daemon at /etc/systemd/system/notify_push.service and make some changes to Apache or Nginx.
The occ notify_push:setup command assumes that all of this is done on the same server where Nextcloud itself is installed.
However, based on the information from https://github.com/nextcloud/notify_push, it seems that it might be possible to set it up on a separate server — though exactly how to do that is another question.

Thanks. I started guessing the same while trimming through the repo. If I'm not mistaken, moving towards Nextcloud All-in-one would integrate this in the NC packge. Meanwhile, good to know that changes on the server are not immediately pushed to the clients.

I've been following the instructions in threads cited below, and it looks like notify_push is up and running

1. configure nginx https://forum.cloudron.io/post/48343
2. run notify_push via script https://forum.cloudron.io/post/48298
