Use of undefined constant G_APP_VERSION

In trying to upgrade to 3.20 from 3.18.3. After replacing the contents of my root server, I'm getting this error:

Code: 
** errorId #6baac79a1db7b9e1 **
>> ErrorException [0]: Use of undefined constant G_APP_VERSION - assumed 'G_APP_VERSION' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP)
At /app/lib/functions.php:246

The server return actually no content except for a 500 error. Where, what, and how is the best place to set G_APP_VERSION?

Oh yes, there where other things missing, too. Like upload.php and the license folder etc.
After I noticed that, I postponed the update.

Now I downloaded the new zip and everything run's smooth after building a new container image.

Btw: I'm a software professional running a licensed chevereo in a cloud native environment (docker container in cluster behind a load balancer with google cloud sql and google storage as backend).
I have the following hints:
  • Bugs should be tracked in Github or any other professional system. Not in a forum (this forum prevents me to report bug. I'd report bugs, if I could do it in Github. I'd even write patches if I find bug, but not in this way)
  • Files should never be written to the filesystem, especially if running in a container. E.g. my User-Avatars get deleted after container recreation (for example due to this upgrade to 3.20). They should be written to the configured storage system (cloud storage in my case), not to the FS.
  • There should be a container image for the professional version which get's the license key for the environment, not from a file. I don't want to build a container for myself, just to add this file.

Just my 2 cents....

P.S.: here's how to build cloud native software: https://12factor.net/

I use this forum, which is connected with licensing so only those with access get my attention. At github I can't focus in those who are actually paying for my work as I can do here. I don't mind using another system, but I need to limit who gets my attention and this is the less hassle free for the user as it works with their Chevereto account.

Chevereto containers under chevereto/chevereto (dockerhub) are bootstrapped. That's mentioned, is on purpose. Those containers are for those needing to run it like that.

The distribution you mention is on my plans, for that thing I need some artifacts (like a template repo/action and some scripting) to easily allow customers to build their own image from the license key. My plan is to use github + docker to setup a github secret's based deploy system, feel free to join development when you see the repo spawning.

For now, you could simply use the asset storage env variables to externally store those assets that are troubling you.
