[Wiki.js] Auto Upgrade Script

General
1 1 768
  • Hi 🙂

    Sorry if I’m not in the right category.

    It’s nothing compared to @phenomlab and for all that he gives us but here’s a small contribution.

    I use the excellent software Wiki.js for my Wiki and I wrote this script and I share it with you


    Informations


    – The script allows you to automatically upgrade Wiki.js.

    – It pre-checks the installed version and compares it with the latest available on GitHub.

    – A backup of Wiki.js is made before the version upgrade in a defined directory.

    – The script has a –rollback option which allows you to return to the version installed before the execution of the script thanks to the backup if a problem occurs. (This does not prevent having another backup on hand 🙂 )


    Use


    – Copy and adapt the code below and paste it into a file named upgrade-wikijs.sh :

    nano upgrade-wikijs.sh
    

    – Make the script executable :

    chmod +x upgrade-wikijs.sh
    

    – Use it :

    ./upgrade-wikijs.sh
    
    ./upgrade-wikijs.sh --rollback
    

    CODE


    – I consider postgreSQL database engine is installed for Wiki.js
    This is the best possible choice for the future.

    – Adapt the code below :

    #!/bin/bash

    For EU-based, end-to-end encrypted cloud storage, here are the strongest options beyond what you’re already using: Tresorit (Switzerland) : Probably the gold standard for E2EE. Zero-knowledge, Swiss/EU data residency, excellent for both file sync and secure sharing. More expensive than competitors but very polished and audited. Filen (Germany) : Zero-knowledge E2EE by default, generous free tier (10GB), very competitive pricing on paid plans, and lifetime plans available. Open-source clients. Popular on the privacy subreddits as a Proton Drive alternative. Internxt (Spain) : Open-source, zero-knowledge E2EE, GDPR-based. Offers storage plus a few extra privacy tools. Lifetime plans available. Younger company, so weigh that against the price. pCloud (Switzerland, registered in EU) : Massive caveat: E2EE is not default. It’s a paid add-on called “pCloud Crypto.” Without it your files are encrypted at rest but not zero-knowledge. The draw is genuine lifetime plans, which can be cost-effective over years if you trust their longevity.

    @JAC those speeds are indeed possible over light as a transport medium (if you consider the speed) but I can’t comprehend the distance quoted. If you happen to encounter a solid obstacle, the beam is either absorbed, or deflected meaning the data never arrives.

    @phenomlab I will have to test this out in my virtual environment. I have an Arch KDE Plasma install in virtualbox that I am testing a bunch of things out before I actually wipe the hard drive and install linux. I am currently in the process of copying my Arch test web server over to virtualbox on linux to make sure that it works. This is the virtual server that I test updates on before updating the production server. I can’t remember the error I was getting but I think it had to do with the network device. That was on the virtualbox side. So the cloud storage will be the next thing that I test.

    @phenomlab said: @DownPW thanks for spotting (and fixing) this issue. I admittedly threw this together quickly for @jac some time ago, and it hasn’t had any love since. If OK with you, I’ll merge these changes into the github repository? No problem dude
