Auto Update from 0.1.4 to 0.1.5

For servers with the autopatch feature enabled, the update will automatically occur tonight. We've implemented a failsafe mechanism for this update: should the upgrade process encounter any issues causing the OpenAdmin or OpenPanel services to malfunction, the update will automatically revert to the previous version (0.1.4), and a notification will be sent to your admin dashboard.
In the event of a successful update, we want to assure you that the previous version (0.1.4) will be preserved in backup folders. Additionally, the installation process includes a comprehensive guide on how to manually revert to version 0.1.4, should you encounter any post-update issues or prefer the previous version for any reason.

Manual Update from 0.1.4 to 0.1.5

For users who have both autopatch and autoupdates disabled and prefer to manually update at a time that suits them best, please execute the following command:
opencli update --force
This command initiates the update process immediately, overriding any previous settings to ensure you have the latest version of the software at your convenience.

How to revert to previous version:

If you encounter any issues with this update, you can revert to the previous version using the following steps:

Delete the new version files:
rm -rf /usr/local/admin /usr/local/panel
Restore files from the previous verison (0.1.4):
mv /usr/local/admin-0.1.4/ /usr/local/admin ; mv /usr/local/panel-0.1.4}/ /usr/local/panel
Restart OpenPanel and OpenAdmin services:
service panel restart && service admin restart
Check if OpenCLI is working and OpenAdmin is accessible:
opencli admin

We are committed to ensuring a smooth and seamless transition to OpenPanel version 0.1.5 and thank you for your patience and understanding throughout this process. Should you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to our support team.

Thank you for your continued trust in OpenPanel.

Warm regards,
