Tried an older update, similar error:

Apparently, the fever plugin that was part of my Tiny Tiny RSS installation is 'gone' - it's not even in the backups (I just checked the folder...)

[necrevistonnezr]

Ok, managed to restore to a functional version by manually recreating all files and folders in the plugins directory...
Why weren't the backed up?

[nebulon]

They are in appsdata so they will get backed up. Can you check if they are backed up now after your fix or if the issue persists?

[necrevistonnezr]

@nebulon
Yep, it's backed up now. Weird.

[necrevistonnezr]

@nebulon
I realized something now: Plugins in /app/date/plugins.local/ (where the software author fox wants user plugins to go to) are not recognized in the Cloudron version of TT-RSS....

[nebulon]

What do you mean by this? The plugins would still be updated if they are located within /app/data/. Do you mean manually installed plugins are now located in some other folder which the app does not include?

[necrevistonnezr]

@nebulon
/app/data has two folders for plugins: "plugins" (system plugins) and "plugins.local" (user plugins).

According to https://git.tt-rss.org/fox/tt-rss/wiki/Plugins:

Installing plugins Copy plugin folder to tt-rss/plugins.local then activate it in the settings panel. Plugin folder name should correspond to plugin class name defined in (plugin)/init.php, i.e. Af_ExamplePlugin should be copied to plugins.local/af_exampleplugin.

If I have the a plugin folder in "plugins.local" it's not recognized in TT-RSS on Cloudron, only if the plugin folder is in "plugins".

[nebulon]

Oh I see what you mean, it misses the symlink from /app/code/plugins.local to /app/data/plugins.local?

[necrevistonnezr]

Yep!

[girish]

@necrevistonnezr Ah, I wasn't aware of this local plugin directory. I will fix up the app. This is actually really nice of ttrss since it simplifies app packaging.
