Cannot properly clean reinstall #33

Closed jellium closed 6 years ago

jellium commented 7 years ago

I remove a Movim installation with the following: sudo yunohost app remove movim --debug --verbose

I verify that the movim SQL database is deleted, as well as /var/www/movim and see that locate movim returns nothing.

I reinstall Movim with: sudo yunohost app install https://github.com/movim/movim_ynh --debug --verbose

I clear my browser cache, log in on my "fresh" Movim install and see that all the previous posted data are still here.

Did I do anything wrong?

Thanks!

You did nothing wrong, but you wanted to wipe data, you shot the wrong target. The data are stored on the XMPP server, Movim is just a (very good) client. Movim stores a cache, but data are supposed to be available from any other client as well.

OK, got it. Thanks! Perhaps the script that handles removal from YunoHost should update the metronome xmpp data base accordingly.

Movim is only an XMPP client: YunoHost provides the XMPP server and stores the data. In my opinion, removing the client shouldn't wipe the data on the server. I propose to close this issue.

I would strongly oppose the idea of deleting anything on the server when removing the client! One should be able to remove a client, install another one and find back all data. With the same logic, would you wipe out IMAP emails and contacts when you remove an email client?
