I have daily Borg backups held for at least one year but the problem is that the issue came out at least two weeks ago and nobody noticed. It's better to have nothing (customer gets error page when viewing useless survey that nobody is watching) rather to restore such a old backup (everyone loses 2-4 weeks of data)

They're releasing a new version every two month or so and dropping them rapidly from support, pinning it with a tag means that in 12 months the install would be exploitable.
Now, I did directly to production because this is low priority stuff, but it would have happened even with a testing stage. I would have never noticed that the forms apps was disabled, the system disabled it without any notification.
You would expect that an official app supports the latest release, no?
This wasn't an app released by a nobody in their free time, this is a main feature heavily advertised in their blog. Look by yourself:
https://nextcloud.com/blog/nextcloud-forms-to-keep-your-surveys-private/
It's not unreasonable to get pissed when 6 months after that blog post it doesn't support the latest release anymore.
I wiped a whole drive (luckily it was filled with a redundant backup) with the docker image, as the behavior was (or still is, don't know if it was fixed) to rm -rf . and replace with fresh stuff if occ isn't found. So in the docker compose I accidentally mistyped the wrong volume as /mnt/disk2 instead of /mnt/disk3 and it erased it
Yes no staging because it's something used at most by 2 concurrent users, we were ok with 95% reliability (we discovered it was disabled after at least two weeks lol)
Otherwise we would just have signed up to one of the many cloud forms sites at $100/year
Backups daily but it's unthinkable to revert something like nextcloud to a months old one
Subscribed to both newsletter and RSS feed to know about issues (the command to update the docker images isn't automated but manually issued). The maintainer of the forms app is nextcloud itself so any incompatibility should have been written in red bold characters in the blog posts and newsletter.
You mean the one that used to be called tomato? (Forgot how it's called now)
It never gave me any image that was bigger than 1000 pixel in width. I could get a very similar result with the Google images thumbnail + waifu2x
I never had them working, the result that they were giving was a very low quality image. Like if they just downloaded the free thumbnail and passed it through waifu2x
If you make a backup with a tool like Borg that creates encrypted archives, then using AWS S3 glacier is the cheapest.
What's bad about it: if you ever need those files again, it's going to be VERY expensive to download them again, so it has to be treated as the "what if a nuke hits my city and all the local and off-site backups are vaporized" solution
Also: it's not recommended to directly host plain files, they need to be in an archive format with big chunks, as the API calls that are used to list them during sync are counted in a very expensive way
Ah maybe I was missing the ./ , it said garage not found on path (on mobile, can't try)
I set garage via docker and it was not impossibly hard.
Main problem is that there isn't an admin panel and you can't login to the docker container via docker exec, so you have to write some python (or other language of your choice) to send requests to the API port to:
- Set the layout of your server
- Create an user
- Create a bucket
- Assign that bucket to your user
It makes sense
In the serie A let me see what they can do with that money... Uhm the Juventus can't even pay for Dusan Vlahovic (he gets €12 million - net per season)
What if the apps are installed via adb using
pm install -i "com.android.vending" /sdcard/yourapp.apk
?
For the system then the app has been installed from the play store
Or it checks online to see if the current user has a (free?) license?
Exactly, they have a release schedule, why their own plugin, that they're heavily promoting as a feature, isn't following that? If for some reason the forms app isn't ready for that date, why not postponing the launch instead of having it broken for who know how many months?
It's not a plugin made by someone else in their free time. They knew that by updating to NC 30 that feature that was marketed just 6 months ago would be disabled, so at least have the decency to write it in the release notes. I subscribe to the newsletter and the RSS for what, just enjoy the marketing buzzwords?
It's like if Microsoft releases an operating system with a buggy and broken taskbar because of a rushed self imposed deadline and fixes it one year later.
