yes

A clear and concise description of the issue.

/var/mail/root is full with emails like:

Subject: Cron <root@wallos> php /opt/wallos/endpoints/cronjobs/sendverificationemails.php >> /var/log/cron/sendverificationemail.log 2>&1
MIME-Version: 1.0

Message-Id: <20241117190601.8D49820965@wallos.localdomain>
Date: Sun, 17 Nov 2024 19:06:01 +0000 (UTC)

/bin/sh: 1: cannot create /var/log/cron/sendverificationemail.log: Directory nonexistent

caused by 61d2e0d599/install/wallos-install.sh (L61-L72)

I think you could redirect the output to logger, which also avoids filling up the disk (see https://serverfault.com/a/434902/178440)

What settings are you currently utilizing?

Default Settings

Which Linux distribution are you employing?

Debian 12

If relevant, including screenshots or a code block can be helpful in clarifying the issue.

Please provide detailed steps to reproduce the issue.

I see this was in the official instructions, so I opened an issue at wallos as well

@MickLesk how shall we proceed to benefit of the updated script? Shall we run it again from PVE shell or simply use the "update" function in the LXC? Or shall we nuke the existing container and start over to clean it from leftovers?
Thanks!

Update is enough. If there is no Update available Just enter: mkdir -p /var/log/cron

I run the "update" (from 2.38.0 to 2.38.1) command but am getting errors:

 /mv: cannot move '/opt/wallos/images/uploads' to '/opt/images/uploads': No such file or directory

[ERROR] in line 67: exit code 0: while executing command mv /opt/wallos/images/uploads /opt/images/uploads

I manually created the missing dir but then:

|mv: cannot stat '/opt/wallos/db/wallos.db': No such file or directory

[ERROR] in line 66: exit code 0: while executing command mv /opt/wallos/db/wallos.db /opt/wallos.db

Works fine for me. Why do you dont have an .db File? Is that a clean install without any user activity? Never registrated?

Ive build a little check, if the file is available for next pr. But it's still strange. It's there for me.

Yes I have a DB. No it’s not clean, I’m updating from previous version. Ended up updating manually for the time being, after rolling back to a couple of versions ago (previous update broke images and I noticed just now).

Where is your DB? It should be here /opt/wallos/db/wallos.db, but the error you posted says it is missing

it's indeed there and not empty too: /opt/wallos/db/wallos.db
Not sure why the script wants to move it to /opt/wallos.db though, shouldn't it stay in a "db" folder? Why is the script changing the current folder structure "/opt/Wallos/" with just /opt/ like in the first error above? With the current structure, manually updating is as easy as copying files over and running the migration command. I'm not an expert at all and just asking out of curiosity, I'm not implying anything so please don't feel bad about it.

We move what needs to be migrated out of the old app, remove the old app, get the new app, move migrated data into the new app. We don't want to copy files into the old app because that could mix old files with new files.
Anyway, if you now have /opt/wallos/db/wallos.db then the update should work for you after https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/pull/339 is merged. The problem in your post was that the images backup command failed, and that was after your database was moved, so when you tried to run the update again it could not find the database anymore
