Besides being a freakin' awesome swiss army knife for (any|every)thing network related, this is another reason to love #curl
"curl shall forever remain independent. curl is not part of any umbrella organization, it is not owned or controlled by any company. It makes us entirely independent and free to do what we think is best for the community"

Nextcloud auf der Kommandozeile aktualisieren

Ich möchte zeigen, wie ich bei Hostsharing eine Nextcloud auf der Kommandozeile aktualisieren kann.

Für kleine Nextcloud-Installationen reicht es meistens, die Updates im Browser durchzuführen.
Aber gerade bei größeren Nextclouds ist es ab einer gewissen Benutzeranzahl sinnvoll, das Update auf der Kommandozeile durchzuführen.
Da steht mehr RAM zur Verfügung, und die Laufzeit des Skriptes kann beliebig lang sein. Im Browser wird da schon mal zu früh das Update abgebrochen.

Ich zeige jetzt, wie ich mich mit Windows auf der Kommandozeile bei Hostsharing anmelden kann.
Ich selber bevorzuge Linux, aber Windows ist ja doch noch recht verbreitet.
Auf Windows muss ich das Programm Putty installieren.

Hier kann Putty heruntergeladen werden:
chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtath…

Dann starte ich Putty, und melde mich auf dem Server bei Hostsharing an.
Ich kann die Session speichern.

Mein Benutzername ist mein Paketbenutzer, xyz00, in meinem Beispiel tim05.
Mein Hostname ist mein Paket xyz00.hostsharing.net, in meinem Beispiel tim05.hostsharing.net

Das Passwort habe ich aus meinem Passwortmanager in die Zwischenablage kopiert, und kann jetzt mit einem Rechtsklick auf das Putty Fenster das Passwort einfügen.
Dann muss ich noch die Entertaste drücken, und bin angemeldet.

Ich kann auch Befehle hier auf der Kommandozeile mit einem Klick auf die rechte Maustaste einfügen:
echo "Hello World"

Ich kann sehen, unter welchem Benutzer die Domain läuft:

ls -la /home/doms/nextcloud.test.beispielverein.de
ich drücke die Tabulatortaste, um den Pfad automatisch zu ergänzen.

Dann wechsel ich mit dem sudo Befehl in diesen Benutzer, also schlüpfe in seine Rolle:

Ich markiere den Benutzernamen mit der Maus, und kann dann die Markierung mit der rechten Maustaste einfügen:
sudo -u tim05-nextcloud bash

Hier wechsel ich erstmal ins Home Verzeichnis:

cd ~

Mit ls -la sehe ich die Verzeichnisse

Jetzt können wir der Anleitung im Wiki folgen:
wiki.hostsharing.net/index.php…

xyz00-cloud@h00:~$ cd ~/nextcloud/updater
xyz00-cloud@h00:~/nextcloud/updater$ chmod u+x updater.phar
xyz00-cloud@h00:~/nextcloud/updater$ ./updater.phar

Es sollten außerdem ein paar Routine-Aufräumarbeiten durchgeführt werden:

xyz00-cloud@h00:~$ cd ~/nextcloud
xyz00-cloud@h00:~/nextcloud$ php occ db:add-missing-primary-keys --no-interaction
xyz00-cloud@h00:~/nextcloud$ php occ db:add-missing-columns --no-interaction
xyz00-cloud@h00:~/nextcloud$ php occ db:add-missing-indices --no-interaction
xyz00-cloud@h00:~/nextcloud$ php occ db:convert-filecache-bigint --no-interaction

So können die Apps noch alle aktualisiert werden:

xyz00-cloud@h00:~$ cd ~/nextcloud
xyz00-cloud@h00:~/nextcloud$ php occ app:update --all -n --no-ansi

Indeed.

But I still think the wording could be better to make that distinction clear so people won't be mislead. Just a prefix of “for practical purposes” would go a long way.

(Real-world exception to 7-bit ASCII octets: a few characters in SMS text messages where '[' and ']' (e.g. for an IPv6 address) are escaped. But all buried in the messaging apps so not much of a practical issue for anybody not programming those.)

BTW, I really liked the rest of your take on Gemini. I looked into it a bit quite a while ago and liked a lot, particularly the client certificate idea in principle, disliked some aspects of the markup language (lack of images in text documents) but was really uncomfortable about the scanty and mixed up specifications. Thank you for taking the time to articulate similar ideas in so much more detail than I had the patience for.

You may think that QR codes are great for securing your login, or letting users read more online about a product marketed in a news paper ad. But there is a high risk you are creating barriers for people with disabilities, unless you use QR codes correctly.

It seems counterintuitive but Steve is right here. One of the defining aspects of conservatives is that they don’t change, at least not for the better. They are firmly rooted in the past and the only way out is through/forward, not back.

I should clarify and say it’s not conservatives themselves that can’t change. It’s the political movement/party. And the party itself has been sliding further and further right every year for the last 20 years. I’m not concerned with being “helpful” any longer. The country and frankly the world doesn’t have the time to wait for conservatives to change like you did. We are now, quite literally at the edge of a cliff, politically, environmentally, economically.
