Updater should be able to execute external (own) sript

[hitam4450]

Hello Developer community of OwnCloud,

How about the idea, to provide a possibility that the Updater provides a possibility to execute an external (own) script (e.g. php, shell, perl, etc) at a given point of the update process??

I am looking forward to discussing with you!

Have a Nice, relaxing Sunday!

regards, hitam4450

I extend this to a pre and a post script possibility
Because we have to:

• set proper permissions pre running the update
• reset proper permissions when the update has finished

And thinking that we may have to use superuser rights, we may want to ask in a field in the admin page for the superusers password which we pass to the script...

It will be possible to wrap CLI application call inside own bash (or any other) script since 9.0

For sure beeing to stupid, but would you mid to describe how / where this can be done. I have not found a description for. The updater app does not give me a place where to add external pre/post scripts...

[VicDeo]

via CLI:

preupgradescript.sh
sudo -u wwwrun php /path/to/owncloud/updater/application.php 
postupgradescript.sh

Thx, got that.
But is there also a way to define the scripts you want to pre/post run when you use the updater app via the browser?

[mmattel]

Because when checking for a build, I am able to start the update process from there, and at this point I need to run the scripts manually from a shell = parallel administration...

This needs really in depth thinking - we would need different handlings depending on the execution mode: web vs cli.

I'm not really convinced

I’m closing this issue because it has been inactive for a few months. This probably means that it is not reproducible or it has been fixed in a newer version. If it’s an enhancement and hasn’t been taken on for so long, then it seems no one has the time to implement this.

Please reopen if you still encounter this issue with the latest stable version and then please use the issue template. You can also contribute directly by providing a patch – see the developer manual. :)

Thank you!
