  1. What does "MySQL configuration tuning" mean? Do we need to run it manually?
  2. wo secure settings deleted again
  3. WO Dashboard charts broken again

    Hello mdoooooot.

    1. WordOps automatically configure MariaDB variables (InnoDB settings) depending on the server resources during stack installation. But applying those optimization to previous WordOps installation isn't available yet (will be added into wo stack upgrade soon).
    2. What are the settings deleted ?
    3. Just try to run wo stack restart --netdata

        VirtuBox What are the settings deleted ?
        port, user, pass
        Just try to run wo stack restart --netdata
        OK this worked thx

            mdoooooot if I understand how the port can be overwritten during WordOps upgrade, I haven't be able to reproduce this issue on my servers (acl.conf & htpasswd-wo should not be overwritten during upgrade process).

              Are changes to php and nginx conf applied to existing installs or should I edit them by hand? Thanks!

                hm_u For php-fpm and nginx, configurations are already updated during WordOps upgrade.

                  nsgoyat WordOps automatically create swap space is there is less than 4GB RAM available on the server.
                  Otherwise, it will not create SWAP.
                  But I haven't worked on this part yet, so I cannot tell you if it's working properly or not (EEv3 code)

                      VirtuBox Just tried it by testing on a VPS only with 1GB RAM. It doesn't create any SWAP space. It will be great if you may look into the code and make the implementation better. I don't know much about Linux but it seems to be a good addition.

                          Hello Master,
                          As you have updated WO to 3.9.7.1 today, I wanted to know if there is any way to update WordOPS without making changes in NGINX Version currently installed and it's Configuration.

                          I use your ultimate nginx-ee bash script to make use of Cloudflare patches, NAXSI WAF, and the latest mainline NGINX. So when I run wo update . It brings me back to NGINX 1.16.0 with the default nginx.conf. It makes me run the nginx-ee bash script again to update the nginx and then manually make changes in the configuration.

                          HalilG True! I also faced the same issue with the latest version too.

                            Hello @nsgoyat,
                            yes I'm planning to perform Nginx configuration refresh using wo stack upgrade in the next releases, to not have to purge Nginx package during WO upgrades anymore.
                            But there is already the flag --preserve available with the command wo update to upgrade WordOps without making any changes in Nginx configuration :

                            wo update --preserve

                            HalilG I'm thinking about disabling brotli by default, but I don't know if I should enable gzip or not.
                            Share your thoughts.

                                Yes, you should enable gzip by default. It would rather be an ocean of tears.

                                  portofacil Ok, I have moved gzip & brotli configuration out of nginx.conf, in /etc/nginx/conf.d/gzip.conf & brotli.conf. This way you will be able to disable one of them just by moving the .conf file.
                                  Example to disable brotli :

                                  sudo mv /etc/nginx/conf.d/brotli.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/brotli.conf.disabled
sudo service nginx restart

                                    VirtuBox anyone who tries wordops for the first time and dont know the reason will definitely abondon wordops. Novice users like me cannot find brotli is the reason. I just -by chance- read someone talked about it in the forum. default should be gzip if u ask me.
