Updated: Feb 8th, 2016

FYI, 1st post guide to auto updating centmin mod code via git environment setup is still valid for both Centmin Mod 123.08stable and 123.09beta01 and higher. Just the branchname differs for bash scripts and /usr/local/src/centminmod-${branchname} is now just /usr/local/src/centminmod

for 123.08stable

Code:

#!/bin/bash
branchname=123.08stable
cd /usr/local/src/centminmod
git stash
git pull
git log -1

for 123.09beta01

Code:

#!/bin/bash
branchname=123.09beta01
cd /usr/local/src/centminmod
git stash
git pull
git log -1

With as many changes to Centmin Mod, some folks might want to use cronjob to auto update their Centmin Mod code. You can do this if you run centmin.sh menu option 23, submenu option 1 to setup git environment first.

    fix inc/openssl_install.inc for .08 beta 03 for LibreSSL make

to update centmin mod 123.08beta03 branch repo via git
        cd /usr/local/src/centminmod-123.08beta03
        git stash
        git pull
        chmod +x centmin.sh

now that you have git environment setup you can setup a cronjob every 6hrs to update your code

create updatecm.sh i.e. at /root/tools/updatecm.sh (i usually place all my custom scripts in a directory i create at /root/tools)

if using 123.08stable - 1.2.3-eva2000.08 then
you'd have to adjust the path to /usr/local/src/centminmod

Code:

branchname=123.08stable
cd /usr/local/src/centminmod

so the file /root/tools/updatecm.sh's contents becomes

Code:

#!/bin/bash
branchname=123.08stable
cd /usr/local/src/centminmod
git stash
git pull
git log -1

chmod +x the /root/tools/updatecm.sh file

Code:

chmod +x /root/tools/updatecm.sh

then setup cronjob every 6hrs using crontab -e command

Code:

0 */6 * * * /root/tools/updatecm.sh 2>/dev/null

or
setup cronjob every 2hrs using crontab -e command

Code:

0 */2 * * * /root/tools/updatecm.sh 2>/dev/null

manually run script will also update the code and list the last commit made

Code:

/root/tools/updatecm.sh

Persistent Custom centmin.sh Settings

If you want to customise their centmin.sh options, you can override and keep persistent config changes which remain after Centmin Mod code changes/updates at ${CONFIGSCANBASE}/custom_config.inc which defaults to /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc as outlined at CentOS 7.x - How to help test .08 CentOS 7 Betas with Github code ? | Page 22

supports 2 locations for custom_config.inc

1. inc/custom_config.inc where centmin.sh base directory resides
2. at ${CONFIGSCANBASE}/custom_config.inc which defaults to /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc

to override centmin.sh settings and allow them to persist on centmin mod code updates, create a custom_config.inc at one of the 2 locations mentioned above and add the centmin.sh option to the custom_config.inc file i.e.

to set PHP 5.6.8 + Zend Opcache as default place in manually created file at /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc the following variables which are in centmin.sh to override centmin.sh ones

Code:

PHP_VERSION='5.6.8'
ZOPCACHEDFT='y'

 

it's crontab -e for setting up cron job.. my bad

also what's contents of /root/tools/updatecm.sh ?

you'd have to adjust the path if it isn't at installed at /usr/local/src/centminmod-123.08beta03

Code:

branchname=123.08beta03
cd /usr/local/src/centminmod-${branchname}

if using 123.08stable - 1.2.3-eva2000.08 then
you'd have to adjust the path to /usr/local/src/centminmod

Code:

branchname=123.08stable
cd /usr/local/src/centminmod

 

Yup file /root/tools/updatecm.sh contents becomes

Code:

#!/bin/bash
branchname=123.08stable
cd /usr/local/src/centminmod
git stash
git pull
git log -1

web site has the updated text Upgrade Centmin Mod - CentminMod.com LEMP Nginx web stack for CentOS

 

doh ! nice catch corrected 1st post

 

hehe.. although updatecm.sh would only overwrite existing data so shouldn't fill up that much i think or you mean your backup script filled it up ?

 

lessened learned I guess thanks for catching that.. will go through centminmod.com site's posted info/instructions and see if have any boo boos like that too

edit: ah i see the instruction was on Upgrade Centmin Mod - CentminMod.com LEMP Nginx web stack for CentOS - fixing it now

reminder folks can set the above script up to auto update the Centmin Mod code located at /usr/local/src/centminmod

It's what i do for 120+ servers

 

great to hear

 

that no longer works in 123.09beta01
Centmin Mod 123.08stable and higher sets Nginx server banner in /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf (can get to it via shortcut command = nginxconf which invokes nano text editor on /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf)

Code (Text):

more_set_headers "Server: nginx centminmod";
more_set_headers "X-Powered-By: centminmod";

 

Centmin Mod 123.09beta01 latest update added a new /usr/local/src/centminmod/updatecm.sh script which can be setup as a cronjob to auto update Centmin Mod code at /usr/local/src/centminmod.

Setup cronjob to run every 6 hrs

Code (Text):

0 */6 * * * /usr/local/src/centminmod/updatecm.sh 2>/dev/null

You can also manually run the script via SSH command line to update code

Code (Text):

 /usr/local/src/centminmod/updatecm.sh

example output

Code (Text):

 /usr/local/src/centminmod/updatecm.sh
