If an update is provided, a yellow icon appears for users with admin rights, indicating that an update has been provided.

If an update is marked as a security update, the symbol appears in red:

In the case of a security update after 5 days this notice is also shown to users. This is to prevent that this update is not “forgotten” in installations without an active admin.

If it is now not possible to install the security update in this period, this time can be increased in the code of EGroupware:

github.com

EGroupware/egroupware/blob/master/api/src/Framework/Updates.php#L43


	 * URL to check for security or maintenance updates
	 */
	const CURRENT_VERSION_URL = 'https://www.egroupware.org/currentversion';
	/**
	 * How long to cache (in secs) / often to check for updates
	 */
	const VERSIONS_CACHE_TIMEOUT = 7200;
	/**
	 * After how many days of not applied security updates, start warning non-admins too
	 */
	const WARN_USERS_DAYS = 5;


	/**
	 * Get versions of available updates
	 *
	 * @param string $api =null major api version to return security for, default latest
	 * @return array verions for keys "current" and "security"
	 */
	public static function available($api=null)
	{
		$versions = Cache::getTree(__CLASS__, 'versions', function() use ($api)

For a 16.1/17.1 installation, this can be easily changed in the installation. For a 19.1 docker installation it should not be necessary. Updates usually install themselves there automatically.

Updates, especially security updates, are there for installation!
