    KStack 1.254 is rolling out to every node this week. The headline: staging copies now work for Node.js catalogue apps, not only WordPress.

    What's new

    • NodeBB, Wiki.js and Flarum get a staging copy with its own database, refreshed from live in one click.
    • Push back to production takes a snapshot first, so a bad push is one restore away.
    • Coding agents can be connected to a staging site only. Live sites are never written to.

    To try it, open a site, go to Advanced → Staging copy and press Copy the live site into it.

    Questions and bug reports in this thread, please.

      One thing worth knowing for NodeBB: after Rebuild & Restart in the admin panel, restart the app from the site's Apps tab as well. The admin panel's restart does not reach the process manager, so the new build only goes live after that restart.

        Also give the container at least 2 GB while NodeBB rebuilds. At 1 GB the asset build can run out of memory part-way, and visitors keep the old cached stylesheet.

          We used it to try this forum's new theme before it reached the real site. Next on the list: a diff view before pushing.
