the unix-permissions of new files/folders can now be changed
* global-option --chmod-f, volflag chmod_f for files
* global-option --chmod-d, volflag chmod_d for directories
the expected value is a standard three-digit octal value
(User/Group/Other) such as 755, 750, 644, 640, etc
the up2k databases are, by default, stored in a `.hist` subfolder
inside each volume, next to thumbnails and transcoded audio
add a new option for storing the databases in a separate location,
making it possible to tune the underlying filesystem for optimal
performance characteristics
the `--hist` global-option and `hist` volflag still behave like
before, but `--dbpath` and volflag `dbpath` will override the
histpath for the up2k-db and up2k-snap exclusivey
`--md-hist` / volflag `md_hist` specifies where to put old
versions of markdown files when edited using the web-ui;
* `s` = create `.hist` subfolder next to the markdown file
(the default, both previously and now)
* `v` = use the volume's hist-path, either according to
`--hist` or the `hist` volflag. NOTE: old versions
will not be retrievable through the web-ui
* `n` = nope / disabled; overwrite without backup
too restrictive, blocking editing through webdav and ftp
but since logues and readmes can be used as helptext for users
with write-only access, it makes sense to block logue/readme
uploads from write-only users
users with write-only access can still upload any file as before,
but the filename prefix `_wo_` is added onto files named either
README.md | PREADME.md | .prologue.html | .epilogue.html
the new option `--wo-up-readme` restores previous behavior, and
will not add the filename-prefix for readmes/logues
adds a third possible value for the `replace` property in handshakes:
* absent or False: never overwrite an existing file on the server,
and instead generate a new filename to avoid collision
* True: always overwrite existing files on the server
* "mt": only overwrite if client's last-modified is more recent
(this is the new option)
the new UI button toggles between all three options,
defaulting to never-overwrite
* `xz` would show the "unrecognized volflag" warning,
but it still applied correctly
* removing volflags with `-foo` would also show the warning
but it would still get removed correctly
* hide `ext_th_d` in the startup volume-listing
1. warn about unrecognized volflags
previously, when specifying an unknown volflag, it would
be silently ignored, giving the impression that it applied
2. also allow uppercase, kebab-case
(previously, only snake_case was accepted)
3. mention every volflag in --help-flags
(some volflags were missing)
new global-option / volflag `zip_who` specifies
who gets to use the download-as-zip/tar function;
* 0: nobody, same as --no-zip
* 1: admins
* 2: authorized users with read-access
* 3: anyone with read-access
may improve upload performance in some particular uncommon scenarios,
for example if hdd-writes are uncached, and/or the hdd is drastically
slower than the network throughput
one particular usecase where nosparse *might* improve performance
is when the upload destination is cloud-storage provided by FUSE
(for example an s3 bucket) but this is educated guesswork
a better alternative to using `--no-idx` for this purpose since
this also excludes recent uploads, not just during fs-indexing,
and it doesn't prevent deduplication
also speeds up searches by a tiny amount due to building the
sanchecks into the exclude-filter while parsing the config,
instead of during each search query
global-option `--no-clone` / volflag `noclone` entirely disables
serverside deduplication; clients will then fully upload dupe files
can be useful when `--safe-dedup=1` is not an option due to other
software tampering with the on-disk files, and your filesystem has
prohibitively slow or expensive reads
dedup is still encouraged and fully supported, but
being default-enabled has caused too many surprises
enabling `--dedup` restores the previous default behavior
also renames `--never-symlink` to `--hardlink-only`
if --no-dedup was enabled in a volume which already contained
symlinked duplicate files, renaming/moving folders could fail
this is due to folder contents being moved one file at a time
(which is how symlink breakage is prevented) except the links
are moved assuming the final directory layout, meaning they
may be intermittently broken during the movie
with no-dedup, the symlinks are converted into full files as
each symlink is encountered, but a temporarily broken symlink
would crash the procedure
fix this by giving `_symlink` a new parameter `fsrc`
which is a known valid inode for data copying purposes
previously, the assumption was made that the database and filesystem
would not desync, and that an upload could safely be substituted with
a symlink to an existing copy on-disk, assuming said copy still
existed on-disk at all
this is fine if copyparty is the only software that makes changes to
the filesystem, but that is a shitty assumption to make in hindsight
add `--safe-dedup` which takes a "safety level", and by default (50)
it will no longer blindly expect that the filesystem has not been
altered through other means; the file contents will now be hashed
and compared to the database
deduplication can be much slower as a result, but definitely worth it
as this avoids some potentially very unpleasant surprises
the previous behavior can be restored with `--safe-dedup 1`
* template-based title formatting
* picture embeds are no longer ant-sized
* `--og-color` sets accent color; default #333
* `--og-s-title` forces default title, ignoring e2t
* add a music indicator to song titles because discord doesn't
to abort an upload, refresh the page and access the unpost tab,
which now includes unfinished uploads (sorted before completed ones)
can be configured through u2abort (global or volflag);
by default it requires both the IP and account to match

this improves performance on s3-backed volumes
noktuas reported on discord that the upload performance was
unexpectedly poor when writing to an s3 bucket through a JuiceFS
fuse-mount, only getting 1.5 MiB/s with copyparty, meanwhile a
regular filecopy averaged 30 MiB/s plus
the issue was that s3 does not support sparse files, so copyparty
would fall back to sequential uploading, and also disable fpool,
causing JuiceFS to repeatedly commit the same 5 MiB range to
the storage provider as each chunk arrived from the client
by forcing use of sparse files, s3 adapters such as JuiceFS and
geesefs will "only" write the entire file to s3 *twice*, initially
it writes the full filesize of zerobytes (depending on adapter,
hopefully using gzip compression to reduce the bandwidth necessary)
and then the actual file data in an adapter-specific chunksize
with this volflag, copyparty appears to reach the full expected speed
some clients (clonezilla-webdav) rapidly create and delete files;
this fails if copyparty is still hashing the file (usually the case)
and the same thing can probably happen due to antivirus etc
add global-option --rm-retry (volflag rm_retry) specifying
for how long (and how quickly) to keep retrying the deletion
default: retry for 5sec on windows, 0sec (disabled) on everything else
because this is only a problem on windows
