Hello everyone!
We just released a new testing version for YunoHost! This version is packed with an remarkable number of new features and changes, and we would be more than happy to receive feedback before releasing it as a stable version! š
Hereās a summary of the major changes:
- š„ **User management using CSV export/import**. This should make life easier for people handling a large number of users! _This work is supported by the CNAM._
- šØ **A rework of the app config panel framework** which was still an experimental/hidden feature. We hope that this rework will make it much easier for packagers to implement interfaces to configure and customize applications, as well as unlocking new possibilities for the future of YunoHost and the webadmin in general. Also, this comes with a **significant rework of the VPNclient and Hotspot apps** to integrate them in the webadmin! _This work is [supported by the NLnet foundation](https://nlnet.nl/)_.
- š **Autoconfiguration mecanism for DNS records** using registrars API and the [Lexicon library](https://github.com/AnalogJ/lexicon). For now, only OVH and Gandi were properly tested by the community. This works also brings **more feature- and subdomain-awareness to the recommended DNS configuration** , which is important for people handling many subdomains. _This work is [supported by the NLnet foundation](https://nlnet.nl/) and contributions from students from the [University of Technology of CompiĆØgne](https://www.utc.fr/)_.
- š¦ŗ A new setting for **experimental security features** as well as some **new diagnosis checks** for applications.
- š· **Better support for `.local` domain names** which should be useful for people willing to host local-only services!
- āØ **Improved mecanic for command-line prompts**
- āØ As always, various fixes / improvements for every day life, as well as internal spring cleanings, paving the way for the future!
- š£ **Lots of updates for translations** in Arabic, Catalan, Chinese (Simplified), Czech, Dutch, Esperanto, French, Galician, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Kurdish (Central), Macedonian, Persian, Portuguese, Spanish, Ukrainian
Thanks to all contributors ā¤ !

# How to participate to the beta-testing š·āāļø š·āāļø
ā _ **DO NOT** _ do this on a critical production server! ā
From the command line, you can launch the following command to switch to testing:
```auto
curl https://install.yunohost.org/switchtoTesting | bash
```
(If you are familiar with bash scripting, you might want to read what this script does before blindly running the command)
You should then be running YunoHost 4.3.x.
## What to test? š¾ š
Here are some specific items which are important to check to validate the current work:
- Validating that all the basic, existing everyday life features of Yunohost (user portal, sending/receiving emails, peroming app install/upgrades, diagnosis, ā¦) are still working is an important test in itself š
- If youāre interested in **user management using CSV import/export** , this can be tested from the webadmin in the User section (notice the small dropdown menu next to the āAdd userā button). The CSV can be edited in a spreadsheet software such a LibreOffice Calc.
- Testing the **new app configuration panels** is so far complicated considering no app actually implements a new configuration panel š
. Nevertheless, [the new version of VPN client](https://github.com/labriqueinternet/vpnclient_ynh/pull/65) is to be released soonā¢, [as well as hotspot](https://github.com/labriqueinternet/hotspot_ynh/pull/81), and packagers may also work in the coming days on new config panels for other apps, so **stay tuned**!
- Testing the **new automatic DNS configuration feature** is located in the Domain section. Please keep in mind that _only OVH and Gandi were properly tested for now_.
1. You should first go in the āDomain configuration \> DNSā section. You should then read carefully the documentation on how to obtain your registrar credentials.
2. After this, automatic configuration will be available in the āDNS configurationā section.
- Testing the **experimental security setting** : it can be enabled from the command line with: `sudo yunohost settings set 'security.experimental.enabled' -v True`. This enables the following:
- prevents system users from snooping on the list of processes (using ps -ef)
- adds `default-src https: data:` to the nginxās CSP configuration
- enforces `Secure` and `HTTPonly` on all cookies
- adds a more extensive `Permissions-Policy` in nginx configuration
- You should notice **a new āAppsā section at the bottom of the Diagnosis**
- Testing the **.local domain support** (only relevant if your server is in your local network): add a `whateveryouwant.local` domain. You should then be able to contact this server using any device on the local network. (You can possibly troubleshoot by checking the āyunomdnsā service)
- Testing the **new translations** can be done by changing the language in Tools \> Webadmin settings

@Aleks, solved by upgrading to `zeroconf-0.36.6`. š
~~`sudo pip3 install zeroconf --upgrade` (hopefully it does not break anything with next release)~~

Uuuuuuh okay but we shouldnāt do this because itās not straightfoward wether or not we (the yunohost project) will be able to upgrade the package via the .deb repo ā¦ This creates ambiguous situations where both lib versions are installed on the system
The right solution is that we should upgrade the version being server via our .deb repo ā¦

Hello,
I try to `switchto Testing` with the admin user but i canāt maybe due to permissions.
Then, i try to `sudo curl https://install.yunohost.org/switchtoTesting | bash` but same errors.
I havenāt try with root for now because i think most current users update/upgrade with the combo `sudo | admin`

Itās on my Raspberry Pi 3B on which iāve deployed YunoHost on a [Debian Buster arm64](https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_arm64/images/raspios_arm64-2020-08-24/) where iāve restored a YunoHost backup (from the previous same deployment with a conventional 32 bits armhf one).
Details : 4.2.8.3 stable YunoHost with one main domain and 2 sub-domains, an admin and a user, 4 apps (Dolibarr, Galene, Mumble and phpMyAdmin) and an exotic ssh port.

`sudo command | other_command` enable only sudo for `command` and not `other_command`
You need to set sudo on the `other_command` :
```auto
curl https://install.yunohost.org/switchtoTesting | sudo bash
```
(but you need to trust the provider of the bash script.
A more āsecureā way would be
```auto
# download the `switchtoTesting` script :
curl https://install.yunohost.org/switchtoTesting -o switchtoTesting.sh`
# read the script to be sure
# make it executable
chmod +x switchtoTesting.sh
# execute with sudo
sudo ./switchtoTesting.sh
```

I just tried this feature, with my domain name [informatiquelibre.fr](http://informatiquelibre.fr) registered at Gandi, but it fails to push the ipv6 and mail-related records the for the main domain (the only one I set for email in/out)
```auto

2021-09-21 12:09:20,412: WARNING - DNS records partially updated: some warnings/errors were reported.
```
The existing manually created DNS records have been deleted from Gandi DNS.
**EDIT:** every other records were successfully pushed, I checked on Gandiās website.
**EDIT2:** I tried many times, no more luck. I guess Yunohost tries to put ā@ā as a subdomain but Gandi donāt allow that? I finally set those records manually.
You can read full logs here : [https://paste.yunohost.org/raw/hipudusuqu](https://paste.yunohost.org/raw/hipudusuqu)
_(by the way, it is just fantastic Yunohost can manage remotely DNS records!! It would really help me for [some project of mine](https://forum.yunohost.org/t/idee-de-projet-reseau-restreint-de-distribution-de-sauvegardes-et-de-serveur-relais/17074)ā¦)_

š„°Soā¦muchā¦GOODNESS!!! š
Wow! I love the idea of Yunohost being able to autoconfigure domains for the user, even if my personal registrar isnāt supported yet. This is a HUGE step forward! Being able to let apps have their own configuration screens is also a MASSIVE improvement! Extra security hardening is also the icing on the cake. YUM!
Thankyou Yunodevs, one and all! š

I want to help testing and i want first to learn how to do it safely.
Scenario: backing up then testing and reverting.
How would i restore a borked test, reinstalling yunohost stable and then restoring?

First it should be said to **_only_ test on a non production system with data that you would be fine being 100% corrupted** , as there is a chance of exactly that happening.
That said, the easiest way would be to test in a virtual machine (eg. KVM or VirtualBox). That lets you save a snapshot at any time, then reverting is as simple as clicking on restore snapshot.
Yunohost does have a backup system however, as I understand it (correct me if Iām wrong here) it really only backs up the app files and the Yunohost specific files. I believe that it doesnāt actually back up Debians system files, so you can use it to restore the files of Yunohost or your apps, but not the overall operating system (unlike a VM snapshot). So, for example, a system file that gets upgraded and breaks something, wonāt be downgrqaded again by Yunohosts Backup/Restore system.
