I think the most notable issue is with backups, no?

Yes, it’s the backup system that’s keeping us from upgrading for now. We’re doing extensive testing daily as time permits, and as soon as this is 100% fixed, we’ll jump right in. We even created a special script to quickly test the backup system and save time. Each time a new Enhance version is released, we delete all backups on the test cluster and run the tests again.

If anyone wants to test the backup system after a new version is released, just delete all backups on your test cluster, set the backup schedule to run every hour, and after a few hours, run this script on your backup server to check it:

bash <(curl -ks https://api.cpfence.app/backup_test.sh) "2025-02-20 12:00:00"

You can change the date and time as needed. This will give you a summary of your backups status along with useful info to know if the issue is fixed or not yet:

=========================================  
Summary of Backups for Enhance version 12.0.17:  
-----------------------------------------  
Successful (hard links): 12 sites  
Full copies (no hard links): 10 sites  
Skipped (empty, no files, or single snapshot): 2 sites  
=========================================

In the meantime, if any cPFence user has already upgraded, we recommend periodically taking a backup using the cPFence bulk backup tool:

cpfence --bulk-backup-wp-sites

This will back up all your WordPress sites' files and databases.

I would argue the VirtualHost config not working/applying & not showing in the UI could be crucial if you are running custom Nginx config that a website cannot function without. I reported this issue end of last week, team is aware.

Krikke Few of my sites went down due to this bug...
If someone needs an urgent fix, there are 3 things to know:
1) Nginx sites configs in v12 moved to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
New path for custom configs: /etc/nginx/vhost_includes
2) You need add a line in the end of server {...} block:
include vhost_includes/your-domain.conf;
Replace your-domain.conf with actual filename. Then restart nginx: service nginx restart
3) You can recover your old custom config from folder: /var/local/enhance/nginx/vhost_includes

Failed to move backups to another server in the cluster.

You are saying "just delete all backups on your test cluster". Do you mean you can just delete old backups bij removing the folders? Nothing else to do?

Helix

FTP is no longer using TLS also, its connecting to plain FTP on port 21. Not good 🙂

Kosta

Helix yeah I know from 12.0.01 and they has been informed, I was expecting security issues first to be sorted anyway

Yes, just delete the snapshot-* folders. Don’t remove anything else, especially not the /backups/<website-ids> directories or the hidden SSH files in them.

Nginx issue resolved? Is it affecting updated systems or fresh installs or both ??
