1 | 1 | # Plugin Migration to Slackware Package: Progress Report |
2 | 2 |
|
| 3 | +## Overview |
| 4 | +This document tracks our progress in migrating the Unraid plugin to a native Slackware package. |
| 5 | + |
3 | 6 | ## Completed Tasks |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +### Package Structure and Slackware Integration |
4 | 9 | - Created standard Slackware package description file (`slack-desc`) for the dynamix.unraid.net package |
| 10 | +- Implemented proper Slackware init system integration: |
| 11 | + - Modified `rc.unraid-api` script to include standard start/stop/restart/status functions |
| 12 | + - Created proper init system symlinks in `doinst.sh` for runlevel 3 (startup) and 0/6 (shutdown) |
| 13 | + - Added boot-time node modules dependency restoration to the `start()` function |
| 14 | + - Moved environment setup from setup_api.sh to rc.unraid-api to ensure it's available at boot |
| 15 | + - The service will now properly start on boot if pre-installed in the OS |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +### Installation Scripts |
5 | 18 | - Added `doinst.sh` script to handle post-installation tasks like creating symlinks and starting services |
6 | | -- Removed Node.js symlinking from both the doinst.sh script and plugin file as this will be handled by the build-txz script |
7 | | -- Moved all setup and cleanup scripts from the plugin file to the doinst.sh script |
8 | 19 | - Implemented support for both install and remove operations in doinst.sh using Slackware's installation mode parameter |
9 | 20 | - Modularized the installation logic into separate scripts for better maintainability: |
10 | 21 | - `setup_api.sh`: Handles API setup, symlinks, and service startup |
11 | 22 | - `file_patches.sh`: Manages file patches and system configurations |
12 | 23 | - `cleanup.sh`: Performs uninstallation and cleanup operations |
13 | | -- File restoration scripts have been successfully migrated from the plugin's inline code to the modular cleanup.sh script, with improved organization using functions |
| 24 | +- Improved doinst.sh script maintainability: |
| 25 | + - Added SCRIPTS_DIR variable to centralize script paths |
| 26 | + - Replaced all hardcoded script paths with the variable reference |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +### Cleanup and Removal Operations |
| 29 | +- File restoration scripts have been successfully migrated from the plugin's inline code to the modular cleanup.sh script |
14 | 30 | - Enhanced cleanup.sh to handle both installation and removal scenarios with a mode parameter ('restore' or 'cleanup') |
15 | 31 | - Updated doinst.sh to call cleanup.sh with the appropriate mode for both installation and removal operations |
16 | | -- Ensured POSIX shell compatibility by replacing Bash-specific array syntax with POSIX-compliant for loops |
17 | | -- These changes follow Slackware packaging conventions for proper integration with the OS |
18 | | -- Removed the now-redundant file restoration block from the plugin file |
19 | | -- Removed redundant cleanup commands from the plugin XML file as they've been properly migrated to the Slackware package scripts |
20 | | -- Simplified the plugin XML file by removing all cleanup code, as these operations are now entirely handled by the Slackware package system via removepkg |
21 | | -- Simplified the unsupported OS handling code to just display a warning message and exit gracefully rather than performing complex cleanup operations |
| 32 | +- Simplified the plugin XML file by removing all cleanup code, as these operations are now entirely handled by the Slackware package system |
22 | 33 | - Updated the removal script to rely on the Slackware package system instead of manually running cleanup operations |
23 | 34 | - Consolidated all cleanup scripts into a single robust shell script: |
24 | 35 | - Merged functionality from the PHP `cleanup_operations.php` script into the shell-based `cleanup.sh` |
25 | | - - Removed dependency on PHP for cleanup operations, making the process more compatible with native Slackware tooling |
| 36 | + - Removed dependency on PHP for cleanup operations, making it more compatible with native Slackware tooling |
26 | 37 | - Created a unified script that handles both file restoration (during installation) and full cleanup (during removal) |
27 | | - - Added a mode parameter to control which operations are performed |
28 | | - - Completely removed the legacy PHP cleanup script (cleanup_operations.php) |
29 | | -- Eliminated duplicate cleanup scripts by: |
30 | | - - Removing the redundant script at install/scripts/cleanup.sh |
31 | | - - Standardizing on the version at usr/local/share/dynamix.unraid.net/install/scripts/cleanup.sh |
32 | | - - Ensuring all script references point to the canonical script location |
33 | | -- Improved doinst.sh script maintainability: |
34 | | - - Added SCRIPTS_DIR variable to centralize script paths |
35 | | - - Replaced all hardcoded script paths with the variable reference |
36 | | - - Makes future path changes easier to implement by only requiring a single edit |
37 | | -- Eliminated duplicate setup_api.sh scripts by: |
38 | | - - Removing the redundant script at install/scripts/setup_api.sh |
39 | | - - Standardizing on the version at usr/local/share/dynamix.unraid.net/install/scripts/setup_api.sh |
40 | | - - Following the same pattern used for cleanup.sh consolidation |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +### Node.js and Dependencies Management |
| 40 | +- Removed Node.js symlinking from both the doinst.sh script and plugin file as this will be handled by the build-txz script |
| 41 | +- Implemented vendor archive handling in the rc.unraid-api script: |
| 42 | + - Proper path definitions for the vendor archive |
| 43 | + - Comprehensive dependency restoration function that checks file existence and disk space |
| 44 | + - Archive creation function for backing up node_modules |
| 45 | + - Command-line interface for both restoration and archiving operations |
| 46 | + - Automatic restoration during service startup if node_modules are missing |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +### Script Consolidation |
| 49 | +- Eliminated duplicate cleanup scripts by standardizing on the version at usr/local/share/dynamix.unraid.net/install/scripts/cleanup.sh |
| 50 | +- Eliminated duplicate setup_api.sh scripts by standardizing on the version at usr/local/share/dynamix.unraid.net/install/scripts/setup_api.sh |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +### POSIX Compatibility |
| 53 | +- Ensured POSIX shell compatibility by replacing Bash-specific array syntax with POSIX-compliant for loops |
| 54 | +- Fixed POSIX shell compatibility in verify_install.sh: |
| 55 | + - Replaced Bash-specific array syntax with POSIX-compliant string lists |
| 56 | + - Maintained identical functionality while ensuring /bin/sh compatibility |
| 57 | + - Eliminated SC3030 shellcheck warnings about undefined arrays in POSIX sh |
| 58 | + - Removed unused check_file() function to fix SC2317 unreachable command warning |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +### Verification and TAG Handling |
| 61 | +- Created post-installation verification script: |
| 62 | + - Checks for existence of critical files and directories |
| 63 | + - Verifies executable permissions on important scripts |
| 64 | + - Validates init script symlinks for proper startup/shutdown |
| 65 | + - Provides color-coded output for easy readability |
| 66 | + - Integrated with doinst.sh to run automatically after installation |
| 67 | +- Added TAG handling from plugin XML file to the Slackware package |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +## Recent Decisions |
| 70 | +- Kept version compatibility check in the plugin file rather than the Slackware package: |
| 71 | + - Recognized that doinst.sh runs after files are already installed |
| 72 | + - Version checking needs to happen before installation to be effective |
| 73 | + - The PHP check in the plugin file is the best place for this validation |
| 74 | +- Removed TAG handling from doinst.sh and reverted to plugin file approach: |
| 75 | + - Discovered TAG isn't properly set in the Unraid environment within doinst.sh context |
| 76 | + - Reverted to using the plugin file for TAG handling to ensure proper functionality |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +## Removed Components |
| 79 | +- Removed redundant build-slackware-package.sh script: |
| 80 | + - Eliminated duplicate functionality as we now use build-txz.ts for package creation |
| 81 | + - Simplified build tooling to use a single TypeScript-based build process |
| 82 | +- Removed makepkg-usage.md documentation: |
| 83 | + - Determined that direct makepkg usage documentation is unnecessary |
| 84 | + - Package creation is now fully handled by the build-txz.ts script |
41 | 85 |
|
42 | 86 | ## Next Steps |
| 87 | +- Document complete migration process with testing results |
43 | 88 | - Review and ensure all file permissions are set correctly |
44 | 89 | - Test package installation and removal |
45 | 90 | - Verify that all services start correctly after installation |
46 | | -- Ensure proper dependency handling |
47 | | -- Convert PHP version compatibility check to a shell script |
48 | | -- Implement vendor archive handling in the package structure |
49 | | -- Create complete SlackBuild script with proper: |
50 | | - - Build process |
51 | | - - File permissions |
52 | | - - Directory structure |
53 | | -- Add TAG handling from plugin XML file |
54 | | -- Create post-installation verification to ensure all files are properly installed |
55 | | -- Document complete migration process with testing results |

63 | | - - Moved environment setup from setup_api.sh to rc.unraid-api to ensure it's available at boot |
64 | | - - The service will now properly start on boot if pre-installed in the OS |
65 | | - - Node modules will be automatically restored from the vendor archive if missing at boot |
66 | 91 |

67 | | -## Notes |
| 92 | +## Implementation Notes |
68 | 93 | - Disk space verification checks are not needed in the native package since it will be pre-installed in Unraid |
69 | 94 | - Gzip availability checks are unnecessary for the native package |
70 | 95 | - DNS resolution checks are unnecessary and should be removed from the plugin file |
71 | | -- Plugin staging conflict check is outdated and no longer needed |
| 96 | +- Plugin staging conflict check is outdated and no longer needed |
| 97 | +- Full SlackBuild script is not necessary since we're not compiling code; direct use of `makepkg` is simpler |
| 98 | +- Version compatibility checks should remain in the plugin file since they need to run before installation |
