Sentora Updater

[TGates]

For some reason I feel this is more complicated than it should be... the entire process that is.

Why can't there be a base/main installer/updater... pretty much will never change. Then, you have a DB updater file, file updater file, and config updater file... seems pretty straight forward to me.

For my Windows ZP to Sentora update package all i did was make a file package, the user uploads it to /panel/ folder, navigates to panel.domain.com/update/ and simply clicks 'Upgrade!' The DB is patched, the configs patched... pretty simple. If people are using custom installs to bad! I never finished it 100% like changing the core DB name or folder name from zpanel to sentora... oh well

For one of my other projects, its a 1-click update.

1. New version gets downloaded to hosting space.
   
2. Backups are made of entire site and DB. (For Sentora we would skip hostdata/logs/junk like that I would think..?)
   
3. Files are extracted into panel folder (skipping any configs).
   
4. Updater script is read and DB gets patched as needed.
   
5. Update files and deprecated files are deleted.
   

And the upgrade from ZP > Sen should be it's own entity! Just do the conversion from ZP 10.1.1 > Sentora 1.0.0 and run the normal upgrade scripts from there! I made the basic Windows patch in less than a week, I'm pretty sure you lynux guru's can sort a bash script the same way

I probably could make one in PHP in 2-3 weeks based off my Windows converter

Kick it around, we have lost thousands of ZPanel users by not getting the conversion patch done!

If 90% of it can be done using php, then use it

That's my 25 cents worth
Think it over.
