🆕 A total of 218 new images and updates were added last week to the repositories and are now also available on ishare2!

We are adding a couple more by the end of this week 🧑‍💻

⚡️Also a new update of ishare2 is coming soon which will hopefully make error handling easier and use aria2 to download the images
It will also include the latest version of ishare2 GUI with improvements such as running as a systemd service 🙂

🆕 Here's the new update as promised
Remember, it will take a little longer to show up in ishare2

PS: I also finally added this switch which was a user contribution: https://labhub.eu.org/api/raw/?path=/UNETLAB%20I/addons/qemu/huaweice6800-ce6800/virtioa.qcow2

🆕 First part of the ishare2 update is finally done.
At first I wanted to take an error proof approach from the beginning thinking of all existing possibilities but then I figured I'd take it easy 😆

Anyway, this new version of ishare2 has a lot of changes, all details will be disclosed later in the GitHub repository but here's the most significant ones:
- ishare2 will have its own directory /opt/ishare2,
- it now uses aria2c to download images,
- it reuses already downloaded files to significantly improve speed and use slightly less bandwidth and outside requests,
- includes improved error handling and error logs to easily troubleshoot or report bugs.

This version is not yet available in the stable branch of ishare2.

👥 We need you! Please help us by testing the new version before release.

It's very simple to install the alpha version of ishare2 by simply running this command:
wget -O /usr/sbin/ishare2 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pnetlabrepo/ishare2/alpha/ishare2 > /dev/null 2>&1 && chmod +x /usr/sbin/ishare2 && ishare2

(Notice the only change in the installation command is the branch name)

After you install it and use it, please report any bugs you find.

Keep in mind this version is unstable so it might not work as expected, to go back to the old version, run the installation command of ishare2 stable.

This version includes more verbose logging by default for testing purposes.

🗂 You can also check the latest changes to the source code here:

👥 New update to ishare2: second part is done
A new update was made to the alpha version of ishare2. It now includes the new version of ishare2 GUI.

To upgrade, run this command again:
wget -O /usr/sbin/ishare2 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pnetlabrepo/ishare2/alpha/ishare2 > /dev/null 2>&1 && chmod +x /usr/sbin/ishare2 && ishare2

Then run: ishare2 update

Finally, test the new features:
ishare2 gui install: Installs latest and improved version of ishare2 GUI from https://github.com/ishare2-org/ishare2-web-gui

ishare2 test: tests if GitHub and Google Sheets are reachable.

Please report any bugs you find

👥 News: ishare2 v2.0.0 stable
Recently mentioned changes that were introduced to ishare2 alpha, were just merged with the stable branch. Please upgrade ishare2 to try them out!

During the testing phase the logging was verbose so we could identify issues easier, that output was reduced but it will still keep logs in the ishare2 directory.
What's staying is that ishare2 will show error messages if something goes wrong instead of just ignoring them.

Note that this is not a regular upgrade, but a very significant release because of the changes that were made and also, a lot of code was refactored and reviewed.

If you have any issues please let us know so we can fix the bugs ASAP.

The full changelog can be found on the GitHub thread and above messages.

I think this was never mentioned before but if you know even a little bit of bash or Python feel free to send a PR to the repositories. Your contributions will be appreciated.

👥 Last day of unetlab.cloud

ℹ️ This is the last day of unetlab.cloud it will expire in 24 hours.
🌐 Please use labhub.eu.org from now on

ℹ️ ishare2 v2.0.9
New update allows you to easily reconfigure ishare2 by using the

ishare2 config

command.

This is useful when you want to switch between aria2 and wget.

For now, the only config available is switching the download utility but there are more configs coming.

❓ If you ever have issues downloading images, it's probably because your server's aria2 package is miss configured.
To solve that you can either fix aria2 or just switch to wget which should work.

💡Tip of the day
If you ever run into this issue: https://t.me/PNETLab/134552
where ishare2 is not showing any search results, just run

ishare2 update

This will force the update of sources files instead of waiting 1 day for them to be automatically updated.

ℹ️ ishare2 CLI v2.1.0 [stable]
This new version aims to auto repair broken sources files.

🕒 Changelog:
- id_list integrity will be checked each time ishare2 runs as well as the lists of images (.CSV files).
- Added information about aria2 being more likely to fail as per user reports.

Overall this version will check for the integrity of the files that are the main components of ishare2 and make the troubleshooting process by itself.

I have tried to break it by deleting and emptying many files and it keeps auto repairing but let me know if you find another issue.

ℹ️ ishare2 CLI v2.1.1 [alpha]
More integrity checks for CSV files and Channel configuration added.

🕒 Changelog:
- ishare2 will check if the downloaded CSV files are missing rows or columns.
- ishare2 config will ask what update channel you'd like to use: main or alpha. Main channel is of course more stable.
- ishare2 test now checks connectivity with labhub.eu.org, it also runs the test automatically when it fails to download a certain file.

These features were added to the alpha branch, after some extra tests it will be released to the main branch.

ℹ️ ishare2 CLI v2.1.2 [stable]
Fixed bug where sources keep being downloaded infinitely
