ConvoyPanel/panel v5.0.0-alpha.4

on GitHub

Still an alpha: use it for test installs and to rehearse the upgrade from v4, and keep production panels on v4 until
5.0 is released. The installer only picks up full releases by default, so name this one:

curl -fsSL https://install.convoypanel.com/5 | sudo bash -s -- --version 5.0.0-alpha.4

Use this release to rehearse the move from v4. It downloads everything the import needs before v4 goes into
maintenance mode, and its output says what each step is doing. The fixes v4 has had since v4.7.0-rc.4 still aren't in
5.x (#211).

Updating from 5.0.0-alpha.3

Point the install at this release and upgrade:

sed -i 's/^CONVOY_VERSION=.*/CONVOY_VERSION=5.0.0-alpha.4/' /opt/convoy/.env
convoy upgrade

Changed

• convoy import-v4 now shows one short line for each thing it does, and before a real import it lists what will
  happen to v4. The output from Compose, pgloader and the migrations is saved to the log instead of the terminal, and
  if one of them fails, the import shows the end of its output. The installer also downloads Convoy without Compose's
  progress bars.
• Text across the panel, the installer and convoy follows the new writing guide in docs/writing.md:
  • Descriptions that repeated a title are gone, including those on the admin Overview page and its cards.
  • Delete and confirmation dialogs say what will happen instead of asking "Are you sure?".
  • Empty states read "No backups", "No servers" and so on.
  • Errors end with what to do next.
  • Create buttons and their dialogs share one name, such as "Create User".
  • The admin area is called "Admin" everywhere.
  • convoy --help, convoy support --help, convoy import-v4 --help and the installer's --help end with examples.
• Form errors read "Required" and "Must be at most 40 characters" instead of "String must contain at least 1
  character(s)". The password rule names the symbols it accepts.

Fixed

• The server picker in the address form showed a translation key instead of "No servers" when nothing matched.
• convoy import-v4 now downloads everything it needs, including pgloader and MySQL, before putting v4 into
  maintenance mode. They used to be downloaded after v4 was stopped, so a slow download added to the downtime and a
  failed one ended the import with v4 offline.
