HMAC File Server Installer Enhancements - COMPLETED

Summary

All requested enhancements have been successfully implemented and validated in the HMAC File Server installer script.

✅ Enhancement 1: Selectable Configuration Directory

Status: COMPLETED

  • Modified get_user_input() function to prompt users for custom configuration directory
  • Changed from hardcoded DEFAULT_CONFIG_DIR to user-selectable CONFIG_DIR variable
  • Updated all references throughout the script to use the CONFIG_DIR variable
  • Maintains backward compatibility with default /etc/hmac-file-server if user presses Enter

✅ Enhancement 2: Removed Duplicate Output on Finalization

Status: COMPLETED

  • Eliminated redundant installation completion messages
  • Consolidated completion information into single print_completion_info() function
  • Function is called only once in the native installation workflow
  • Docker deployment has its own streamlined completion message
  • No more duplicate service information or endpoint details

✅ Enhancement 3: Removed All Emoticons and Unicode Symbols

Status: COMPLETED

  • Systematically removed all Unicode characters including:
    • ✓, ✅, ❌, ⚠️ (checkmarks and warning symbols)
    • 🚀, 🌐, 📁, ⚡, 🔧, 📚 (various emoji)
    • • (bullet points)
    • █ (block characters)
    • ──── (Unicode dashes)
  • Replaced with standard ASCII equivalents (-, +, *, etc.)
  • Script now uses only standard ASCII characters for universal compatibility

✅ Enhancement 4: Docker Deployment Option

Status: COMPLETED

  • Added comprehensive Docker deployment workflow as alternative to native installation
  • Created installation type selection menu (Native vs Docker)
  • Implemented Docker-specific functions:
    • create_docker_deployment() - Sets up complete Docker environment
    • generate_docker_config() - Creates container-optimized configuration
  • Features included:
    • Multi-service docker-compose.yml with Redis and ClamAV
    • Multi-stage Dockerfile for optimized container builds
    • Automated start/stop scripts for easy management
    • Container-specific directory structure and volume mappings
    • Proper networking between services
  • Updated help documentation to reflect Docker option

🧪 Validation Results

  • Syntax Check: ✅ PASSED - No bash syntax errors
  • Help Function: ✅ PASSED - Docker deployment mentioned
  • Unicode Removal: ✅ PASSED - No Unicode symbols found
  • CONFIG_DIR Usage: ✅ PASSED - Consistently used throughout (Docker container paths excluded)
  • Docker Functions: ✅ PASSED - All Docker functions present and working
  • Duplicate Prevention: ✅ PASSED - Completion info displayed only once
  • Script Structure: ✅ PASSED - All key functions present and functional

📁 Files Modified

  • Main Script: /home/renz/source/hmac-file-server/installer.sh (extensively enhanced)
  • Documentation: Updated README.MD, INSTALL.MD, WIKI.MD, CHANGELOG.MD
  • Test Scripts: Created validation scripts to ensure functionality

🔧 Technical Implementation Details

Configuration Directory Selection

# User can now customize config directory
read -p "Configuration directory [$DEFAULT_CONFIG_DIR]: " CONFIG_DIR
CONFIG_DIR=${CONFIG_DIR:-$DEFAULT_CONFIG_DIR}

Docker Deployment Structure

  • Isolated directory structure with proper volume mappings
  • Redis and ClamAV services properly networked
  • Container-optimized paths (/var/lib, /var/log, /etc)
  • Both deployment types maintain same configuration options

Code Quality

  • Maintains all existing functionality
  • Backward compatible with previous usage patterns
  • Follows bash best practices
  • Comprehensive error handling preserved

🎯 Outcome

The HMAC File Server installer script now provides:

  1. Flexible Configuration: Users can select custom configuration directories
  2. Clean Output: No duplicate information during installation
  3. Universal Compatibility: Works with all terminal types (no Unicode dependencies)
  4. Modern Deployment Options: Choice between traditional systemd service or containerized Docker deployment

The installer is production-ready and significantly enhanced while maintaining full backward compatibility.

📖 Documentation Updates

All documentation files have been updated to reflect the new capabilities:

  • README.MD: Updated installation section with deployment options
  • INSTALL.MD: Added comprehensive Docker deployment instructions
  • WIKI.MD: Enhanced Docker section with automated deployment info
  • CHANGELOG.MD: Documented all enhancements in version 3.2

The project documentation now accurately reflects both the traditional installation method and the new automated Docker deployment option, providing users with clear guidance for their preferred deployment strategy.
