One click Appcd update

wbknght

If requested before please delete the post, I've searched but couldn't find.

Whenever there is an update to Appcd I have to go through all of the servers one by one and update each one like everybody here.
It would be great if one click update possible for all connected servers.

wbknght +1 if its still possible to update one by one.

Sometimes its not a good idea to role out an update across your whole estate at the same time. Imagine there is an issue and ALL your servers are down now.

Maybe make the update all button stagger the updates with a customizable delay between successful update and the next server. A stop button to stop the update progression.

You could also write a ansible script or something similiar that deploys updates, check uptime of sites on that server, proceed.

Don't you have to do this anyway to update apt packages/kernel etc?

wbknght a one-click would be nice for appcd, but I would prefer it to even a step further and have a whole dedicated updates section where we could run all the package updates, and options to decide what packages to update.

The way I do it now is ssh and run apt. It'd be nice if we could just run this from a section in enhance, or even have configurable options for scheduling like running it automatically nightly - similar to how whm/cpanel automated server updates.

When we release a core update, if it relies on a specific appcd feature, appcd will be updated on every server as part of the core update process. Other appcd updates are optional.

I hear the suggestion for a global updates centre, not just for appcd but for other system packages, where you can see all versions "at a glance" and update when required. This will come as part of a wider change to the way Enhance updates are handled, most likely in the second half of this year.
