Mass extension reinstallation after upgrade?

KanenasPL

Moved from Discord as it may be useful for others.

The issue

First time I am about to upgrade Flarum (Yunohost version, 1.7.1 -> 1.8.1). There is a a bunch of extensions installed and it is dreadful to think that I'd need to reinstall them manually. Is there already any automated solution to perform this task?

KanenasPL I once wrote extiverse updater to do this automatically, but it had some issues in some php environments. See https://extiverse.com/helper, it doesn't need any changes as it relies on the Extiverse database.

With the development of the package manager as a 1st party tool, it is very likely we will create some similar functionality in that extension. Although I think mass disabling is already possible with it, see: https://docs.flarum.org/internal/package-manager/

Assuming I am doing general update outside the helper (Yunohost server does it itself) and I only wish to preserve/recover and reinstall extensions, should I install the helper before or after upgrade?

KanenasPL

I converted compose.json into a shell script with upgrade commands for each extension. First I did the Yunohost upgrade, then run the script. Everything's peachy!
