v1.8.0-beta.0 Database Migration

⚠️ Pre-Release / Breaking Changes / Backup required ⚠️

Pre-Release

This is a pre-release of v1.8.0, where the old database provider was changed to sqlite3. Apparently the old database was unstable on some systems and crashed Gokapi after some extended time. Any feedback is very welcome - thank you! Please backup all Gokapi data before installing this pre-release

On first start, the old database will be migrated and all users logged out.

Breaking Changes

• Only 4,000 parallel requests that are writing to the database are supported now, any requests above that limit may be rejected. Up to 500,000 parallel reading requests were tested.
• Dropped Windows 32bit support
• According to the documentation, the GOKAPI_DATA_DIR environment variable should be persistent, however that was not the case. Now the data directory that was set on first start will be used. If you were using GOKAPI_DATA_DIR after the first start, make sure that the data directory is the one found in your config file.
• The undocumented GOKAPI_FILE_DB environment variable was removed
• Removed optional application for reading database content
