Solved How to reinstall lost or deleted CB things nowadays?

[Richard G]

I was just wondering about something.

Suppose for some reason you delete some configure files like configure.php53 or a script like letsencrypt.sh and so on.
Previously we went to files.directadmin.com or so and got us new ones, or just ran the ./build clean and ./build update and for example for letsencrypt the ./build letsencrypt command and the letsencrypt.sh would be restored.

Just for fun I've been testing this now. Moved some configure files and moved the letsencrypt.sh file and then tried to restore it this way.

But it's advised not to use files.directadmin.com anymore as this would not be up to date anymore?
And the letsencrypt.sh did not re-appear after reinstalling letsencrypt.

Which makes me wonder. How would these kind of files be re-installed when somebody would delete them by accident nowadays?

Running da update --force will get back all the files that belong to /usr/local/directadmin. Including letsencrypt.sh and other custombuild files.

Ah great, then it's easier than I thought, my curiosity is satisfied, thank you!

Note that the --force parameter is there only to perform DA update even if it is already up-to date. Standard da update also restores all files, but if DA is up to date it does nothing, so adding --force makes sure it will proceed with update even if it is up to date.

Yup, I understand, because the normal update did indeed not restored it. Thanks!
