✅ Have you read and understood the above guidelines?

yes

📜 What is the name of the script you are using?

Kimai

📂 What was the exact command used to execute the script?

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/main/ct/kimai.sh

📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

In order to use plugins with kimai you need to create data in /opt/kimai/var/plugins. When using the update-script this directory and all it's content is wiped and replaced with the "empty" source.
(See attached link to Backup-Docs of Kimai)

This line of the update script is causing trouble:
rm -rf /opt/kimai

Maybe it would be possible to backup this data before running the update and restore it afterwards?

I thought about something like that (hope it helps):

Before update:

  • (check if there are files in /opt/kimai/var...?)
  • backup var folder to temp folder
    cp -r /opt/kimai/var /opt/kimai_var_backup

After update:

  • restore backup folder
    mv /opt/kimai_var_backup /opt/kimai/var
  • carry on with permission settings etc.

⚙️ What settings are you using?

  • Default Settings
  • Advanced Settings

🖥️ Which Linux distribution are you using?

Debian 12

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

"Install" plugins / create data in /opt/kimai/var/…

Run update script >> This line is executed: rm -rf /opt/kimai >> plugins & any custom data in /opt/kimai/var/… is gone.

❌ Paste the full error output (if available).

No error log (see above)

🖼️ Additional context (optional).

Wow! That's a fast fix!

I like the restructured backup & restore process! Maybe you could even add

msg_info "Backup of Kimai configuration and var directory restored"

Thanks a lot!

I had at first, but then I would have to make it even more detailed, because every msg_info needs a msg_ok, otherwise the spinner hangs endlessly in the console. (and msg_info in msg_info do the same)
That's why I opted for the short version and wrote everything in Update :-)
