Hey!
I am using Cloudways for my hosting.
What is the best way to update Chevereto?
Because uploading files via FTP takes too much time.

FTP the zip to your hosting. Extract there. This really is a pretty small package by todays standards. Upload, extract, overwrite.

📦 Deprecated HTTP update system

To guarantee the integrity of your installations, for V4 we will push on update methods based on CLI + file system. This means that to update within V4 you will require to unzip the package in your server.

Same goes for web panel users, after an exhaustive survey I've noticed that most well-known web panels may not include shell access, but for sure they at least provide a file manager with unzip support.

To make this easier we will provide shell scripts to ease the work on the CLI.

There is no way. And there is also no easy to use CLI script provieded.
Quite a step backwards compared to version 3.

Honestly, I don't understand why such an absolutely basic function was not implemented here. Downloading the package, unpacking it and replacing it will not be particularly difficult to build.

Here we go again... Why you keep bringing this to me?

I determined that for us it was absolutely not safe to rely on a self-updating system. As Chevereto users either use web panels or VPS it was understood that everybody had the means to carry these updates without needing a system made on top of the software itself.

A self-updating system is trivial, as a matter of fact we had one already made. Problem you don't realize is that such system is brittle and breaks a lot (it did it plenty times) on our context. Is not that we never had self-updating, we did it plenty years and it broke too many installations (the more on the V3.20.X times) and it also brought a permissions issue that also exposed installations.

You should feel lucky it didn't break yours.
