Summary

Fixes a bug where the quickstart install script fails to update docker-compose.yaml when run on existing installations, causing users to miss new services like generate-pqc-keys.

Problem

When users run the install script on an existing installation:

  1. The script detects the existing directory
  2. Prompts "Do you want to reinstall? (y/N)"
  3. When piped to bash or user answers "N", it exits without updating docker-compose.yaml
  4. Users miss new services added to the compose file (like generate-pqc-keys)
  5. Platform fails to start because code expects services that don't exist

Solution

The script now automatically checks for and updates docker-compose.yaml when:

  • An existing installation is detected
  • User chooses not to reinstall (or script is piped to bash)

The update process:

  • Downloads latest docker-compose.yaml to a temp file
  • Compares it with the existing file
  • Updates if different and notifies user to restart services
  • Handles network errors gracefully
  • Cleans up temp files

Benefits

  • Users get updates without losing Docker volumes
  • No need for full reinstall to get new services
  • Works with piped execution (curl ... | bash)
  • Preserves existing data and configuration

Testing

Tested with existing installation missing generate-pqc-keys service - script successfully detected and updated the compose file.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Improved installation updates by detecting changes to the remote service configuration.
    • Replaces outdated local configuration files and reports whether an update was applied.
    • Advises users to restart services when configuration changes are detected.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Installation now continues gracefully when the remote configuration cannot be reached.
    • Temporary update files are cleaned up automatically.

…tions

  When the install script detects an existing installation and the user
  chooses not to reinstall, it now checks if docker-compose.yaml needs
  updating and automatically downloads the latest version if changes are
  detected.

  This fixes an issue where users running the install script on existing
  installations would miss new services (like generate-pqc-keys) added to
  docker-compose.yaml, causing platform startup failures when the code
  requires those services.

  The script now:
  - Downloads the latest docker-compose.yaml to a temp file
  - Compares it with the existing file using cmp
  - Updates if different and informs the user to restart services
  - Handles network errors gracefully
  - Cleans up temp files

  This allows users to get updates without losing their Docker volumes
  or requiring a full reinstall.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The installer now checks the remote docker-compose.yaml for existing installations. It updates differing local content, reports current or updated status, warns about network failures without exiting, and removes the temporary file.

Changes

Compose File Update

Layer / File(s) Summary
Existing installation update check
static/quickstart/install.sh
The installer compares the remote and local docker-compose.yaml files. It copies changed content into place, advises a service restart, reports matching content, warns on network failures, and cleans up the temporary file.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to f4d8c

The installer now downloads and replaces the compose file for existing installations, but it can hang indefinitely or replace a valid file with empty, invalid, or partially written content, potentially preventing services from starting. Merge should wait for download validation, comparison-error handling, and safer replacement.

Poem

A rabbit checks the compose file bright,
Downloads fresh code in morning light.
If changes hop in, services restart,
If networks fail, the script stays smart.
Temp files vanish without a trace—
A tidy update in its place.

Install the new Compose file atomically.

cp writes directly to $OPENTDF_DIR/docker-compose.yaml. An interruption or disk-full error can leave a truncated active file. Stage the validated file in $OPENTDF_DIR, then rename it into place with mv. Print the success message only after the replacement succeeds.

In `@static/quickstart/install.sh`:
- Around line 89-90: Update the curl invocation in the installer’s remote
compose-file download to include both connection and overall transfer time
limits via --connect-timeout and --max-time, while preserving the existing
silent/fail and output-file behavior.
- Line 90: Update the cmp comparison in the install script to capture its exit
status instead of using ! directly; replace the compose file only when the
status is 1 (files differ), and emit a warning without updating when the status
is 2 (comparison error).
- Around line 89-93: The install update flow must reject an unusable downloaded
Compose file before replacing the active one. In the curl success branch,
require TEMP_COMPOSE to be non-empty before cmp, and validate its Compose syntax
when the available tooling permits; only then copy it to
OPENTDF_DIR/docker-compose.yaml.
