Squorli Server 0.5.2
Notifications, a choice about link previews in direct messages, the owner as a server account, and a camera blur that no longer loads anything from other sites.
Before you update
- No database migration, no newer Squorli Directory.
squorli updatebrings the new server. - Desktop app 0.8.1 follows after this server. Older apps keep working; notifications, the stage's place holder, the list of who watches your share and the link preview switch reach app users with the new app, browser users with this update.
- New, optional variable
OWNER_SETUP_CODE: only for a server without an owner yet (see New). Existing servers need nothing. - The installer asks who becomes the owner (your Squorli account's key, a server account with a setup code, or whoever signs in first). It is downloaded fresh on every run; an existing installation needs nothing.
New
- The owner as a server account. With
OWNER_SETUP_CODEset (the installer makes one when you choose a server account), whoever registers a server account with that code becomes the owner; the registration form shows a field for it while there is no owner, also where server accounts are otherwise off. A name alone could be taken first by anybody, a code cannot. - Notifications. Direct messages and mentions you do not see right now can show as notifications of the system; a click opens the conversation. In the browser switch them on under Settings > Sounds (the browser asks once, not on phones); the text can be left out.
- Who watches your screen share. The avatars of the people watching appear in the top left corner of your share, on the stage and in its own window; the pointer on one shows it large with the name.
- Link previews in direct messages can be switched off under Settings > View: no link is looked up, your messages go without previews, and you see none in the messages you receive. The choice follows your Squorli account, encrypted.
Improved
- The camera's background blur comes from your server. Its model and program files ship with the client instead of being loaded from jsDelivr and Google; the page no longer allows scripts from any other site.
- The stage in its own window keeps its place. The main window shows where the stage went, with buttons to bring it back or to bring its window to the front.
- The licenses list (Settings > Licenses) names the desktop app's own packages and the blur model as well.
Fixed
- "Show the stage" did not bring the stage's window to the front in the desktop app; it does with desktop app 0.8.1.
Image: ghcr.io/danielklessa/squorli-server:v0.5.2 (also :latest). Update an installation made with the install script: squorli backup, then squorli update; with Compose by hand: set APP_IMAGE=ghcr.io/danielklessa/squorli-server:v0.5.2 in .env, then docker compose pull and up -d. Database migrations run by themselves at the start and cannot be undone: back up first. Guide: https://squorli.com/en/docs/install/
