Document `occ encryption:drop-legacy-filekey`

Open joshtrichards opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

The occ command added in nextcloud/server#38080 (released in v27) needs to be documented:

Scan the files for the legacy filekey format using RC4 and get rid of it (if master key is enabled)


Notes

  • Please be patient: this is a large open source project that is overseen by a mixture of volunteers and non-volunteers which are all ultimately busy.
  • If your suggestion is a troubleshooting scenario or one you're not 100% certain about, please post for feedback on the Nextcloud Help Forum first.
    • Then return here to bring back your experience to help improve the documentation for clarity, etc. (and link back to the forum discussion in your report!)

Protip: If you want to help move things along (or just help out in other ways too) here are some suggestions:

  • Look for areas where you can assist - even seemingly unrelated areas - because doing so frees up resources for your favorite topics and ideas.
  • Submit a proposed change - that attempts to addresses your issue - as a pull request.
  • Participate in a discussion on some other unresolved submitted idea ("issues") to help move it along.
  • Post a comment or review on someone else's proposed change ("pull request") to help move it along.

@come-nc consensus is to reword "Encrypting files increases their size by roughly 35%" to "Encryption files generate a slight overhead in size by ~1% (35% before Nextcloud X)"

and mention the command that can migrate it for some versions^^
