Surfer v7 - new CLI, deploys, app passwords
-
Surfer has undergone some breaking changes and thus a bump in the major version.
- The CLI tool is now
@cloudron/surfer. This is a better place because own the@cloudronnamespace in npm.cloudron-surferis deprecated but will continue to work I guess. - The old tokens will not work anymore. You have to fix up the CI to use the App passwords which were part of Cloudron 10. With this, we can now track which user is making changes to surfer.
- The new CLI offers a
surfer deploywhich deploys a site atomically. It also creates a eventlog entry which you can see in the "Deploys" view. This way you can track who last deployed and when.

API keys/tokens - use these tokens to make API calls to Cloudron REST API. What changed is that they used to be per user but now they are server level. This changed because only admins can make practically any of those API calls and we thought it's better to have all admins see all the api keys created/used as a security measure
-
App password . Use these to log in to apps. Also, for SFTP/WebDAV/CLI tools of apps.
