Upgrade to V2

Seedbox version 2 is here! Since there are some breaking changes and a configuration structure migration, a major version was mandatory.

These releases notes are still a work-in-progress as V2 is not fully tested and finalized yet.

What's new?

• Configuration change to new YAML format
  • Run config-updater.sh to migrate your old services.conf to the new config.yaml format.
  • jq (v1.5+) and yq (v4+) are now requirements
  • Easier feature switches
  • If a service is missing, it won't be enabled by default like before. The config is now more declarative.
  • Traefik routing rules are now dynamically generated in a file in Traefik config directory, so no more Docker labels. They became hard to maintain due to all possibilities caused by VPN support or custom files for example.
• VPN support
  • With gluetun service, you can now place any service behind a VPN.
  • Default gluetun configuration is Wireguard "custom" mode, but see below...
• Support custom services and docker-compose yaml files
  • Place a docker-compose.yaml file in services/custom/ directory, add a service in your config.yaml specifying a customFile, and you are set.
  • Support Plex hardware transcoding using a custom-file, already available in the services directory (just specify a customFile on plex service - see config.sample.yaml).
• Support arbitrary Traefik rules
  • Place a Traefik YAML in samples/custom-traefik/ directory, it will be copied in the Traefik configuration folder.
  • Ideal to forward traffic to other services which do not belong to this seedbox.
• New services:
  • Gluetun: VPN client (see above)
  • Heimdall: Dashboard
  • Readarr: Ebook and comic monitor
  • Komga: Comic Book Manager
  • Kavita: Comic / Book Manager

And also:

• update-all.sh is now called run-seedbox.sh but its purpose is the same.
• More checks in run-seedbox.sh. For example, throws an error if Flood is enabled but not Deluge, or if VPN is enabled on a service but the VPN client is not.
• You can now specify where your data lives on your host through new environments variables (see .env.sample).
  • This change is backward-compatible as the run-seedbox.sh script will default to the old "/data/torrents" and "/data/config" paths if these variables are not set.
• networks: section is now aligned with the new docker compose syntax
• Nextcloud-db has moved. It is now in /data/config (see below how to mitigate the errors).
• Disable Traefik access logs

How to migrate

./config-updater.sh
# Check the content of your .env file (in comparison with .env.sample which brings new variables)
./run-seedbox.sh

When everything runs smoothly, you can delete your old configuration file:

rm -f services.conf

Also, please make sure you have read the next section about Nextcloud Database location.

Nextcloud-db has moved

Since commit e4ede925a8, nextcloud-db directory (mapped on /var/lib/mysql) has moved from /data/nextcloud-db to $HOST_CONFIG_PATH/nextcloud-db (/data/config/nextcloud-db by default).

To ensure a smooth transition, you will have to move the directory nextcloud-db into the correct new location, then run some commands to fix the schema:

mv /data/nextcloud-db/ /data/config/
./run-seedbox.sh
source .env
docker exec -it nextcloud-db mysql_upgrade -u root -p${MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD}
docker restart nextcloud nextcloud-db

Ensure everything runs nicely by looking at nextcloud-db and nextcloud logs, and by accessing your Nextcloud web UI.
