Link-Live Private Release Notes

These release notes briefly describe the new features, enhancements, and changes included in each release of Link-Live Private.

Version 9.2.2 New Features & Enhancements

This release reorganizes the scripts in the installation bundle and adds several checks that catch installation problems before any changes are made to your server.

Utility Scripts Consolidated into a Toolkit Folder

The start script, ubuntu-start.sh, is now the only script at the root of the installation directory and the only one that carries an operating system prefix.

Every other script moved into a toolkit/ subfolder and dropped its ubuntu- prefix.

Previous location

New location

ubuntu-start.sh

Unchanged. Still at the root of the folder, still prefixed.

backup.sh

toolkit/backup.sh

restore.sh

toolkit/restore.sh

cert-renew.sh

toolkit/cert-renew.sh

export-logs.sh

toolkit/export-logs.sh

Run the toolkit scripts with sudo, from inside the installation directory. See Script Naming and Usage.

Recommended Installation Location

The recommended location for the installation directory is /opt. If the bundle is extracted elsewhere, the start script prints a warning naming /opt as the recommended location and then continues normally.

Installation and Setup

  • Fully offline installation – All required software is included in the bundle and is installed without an internet connection. The installer never contacts the internet.

  • Port 443 checked before installation – The installer verifies that port 443 is free before starting and stops with an error naming the process holding it, rather than failing partway through.

  • Dependency check before installation – The installer verifies that the packages it needs are present before making any changes, and names exactly which packages are missing or conflicting. This matters on minimal or offline servers, which cannot download a missing package.

  • Docker Compose v2 – Check your version with docker compose version, noting the space. If you are upgrading from an older installation, the v2 plugin is installed for you automatically.

  • Database migrations – Any migrations that a new version requires run automatically, with no user input. The migration scripts are in the db-migrations folder of the bundle, and each is named for the version that introduced it.

New Start Script Options

  • restart – Restart Link-Live Private with the existing configuration.

  • -h, --help – Show usage information.

  • -v, --verbose – Show detailed output during installation. NetAlly Support may ask you to run the start script with this option if an installation fails.

NOTE: See Manage and Update for the full list of start script options.
