The publicClient interface is utterly horrific.
It allows any client to inject arbitrary events into the socket.io
event stream.
This should get wrapped into a "plugin" event so that it can get properly
typed, better yet, this should get removed completely.
The sort event bundled networks and channels for no reason at all.
They share none of the actual logic, so combining them just makes
the typing poor but serves no benefit.
Make the cleaner available to users by exposing it as a subcommand
to thelounge storage.
This is recommended to be run whenever the storage policy significantly
changes in a way that makes many messages eligible for deletion.
The cleaner would cope, but it'll be inefficient and can take many hours.
Due to how storage works in sqlite, the space would not actually be
given back to the OS, just marked for future writes.
Hence this also runs a vacuum to compact the DB as much as it can.
Once this is getting hooked up, it'll periodically delete old
messages.
The StoragePolicy can be chosen by the user, currently there's
two versions, delete everything based on age is the obvious.
The other is for the data hoarders among us. It'll only delete
message types which can be considered low value... Types with
a time aspect like away / back... joins / parts etc.
It tries to do that in a sensible way, so that we don't block
all other db writers that are ongoing.
The "periodically" interval is by design not exposed to the user.
This is laying the foundation to build a cleaning task that's
sort of database agnostic.
All calls are done by acting on a "DeletionRequest" so interpretation
of the config will go through a single point
A user reported in the IRC chan that installing packages fails with
```
2023-12-13 20:02:34 [INFO] Installing thelounge-theme-solarized v1.1.9...
undefined:1
(node:3329) [DEP0040] DeprecationWarning: The `punycode` module is deprecated. Please use a userland alternative instead.
^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token '(', "(node:3329"... is not valid JSON
```
Now, this happens as yarn helpfully prints a deprecation warning
that is shown in the stack trace.
Let's assume that we may get non json messages and log them at debug, as we
don't know their severity.
Node apparently throws even on valid ipv6 input in certain environments,
probably due to the DNS server returning SERVFAIL.
Guard against it and fallback with the plain IP
Fixes: https://github.com/thelounge/thelounge/issues/4768
So far the bind config only impacted the IRC connections.
However, nothing in our doc comment says that this is intentional.
> ### bind
> Set the local IP to bind to for outgoing connections.
This commit fixes the leak and uses it for all outgoing requests
as described by the docstring.
Add the ability to migrate our db in the upwards direction.
Use the facility to add primary keys to our messages table.
This should allow work like jumping to messages and the likes.
This also introduces the framework for rollback, without actually
hooking it up.
This should be easy enough to do when the need arises.
Noticed this breakage while trying to install a plugin on 4.4.1-rc2.
```
> semver.default.satisfies("4.4.1-rc2", ">=4.3.0")
false
> semver.default.satisfies("4.4.1-rc2", ">=4.3.0", {includePrerelease: true})
true
```
Network.export() only writes the "type" key if it's a ChanType.QUERY;
so the config on disk has no "type".
This causes it to be undefined when loading, which breaks various other
checks, and then drops it the next time the config is saved.
This enables db migrations to be undone, or "down migrated".
The down migration shouldn't be done automatically
as it could lead to severe data loss if that were done.
Hence, we still hard fail if we encounter a version lower than what
we have in the DB.
A CLI will be added in a later commit that allows users to explicitly
do that.
