Hello gd7s9sjddh,
as before, I completely agree with you and confirm your statements.
The script is a bit unusual in some places.
Please excuse me for forgetting to give you a hint about possible mysql errors.
As for the updates, I can reassure you a bit. Up to now the updates on my PC ran error free via the GUI. The warnings regarding firewall and so on, however, come back. But a changed root password doesn't cause any problems.
A little tip to you, you can also freely choose the IP address of the server and not stick to the somewhat nonsensical suggestions of the manual. If you want to run the server in server mode, you have to change a configuration file. If you have not chosen a xxx.xxx.xxx.2yy ipv4 address. If you want I can tell you the name of the file.
From a security point of view, the changes made by the installation script are really not recommended. I think most clubs don't care much. But the system was too insecure for me. Accordingly, I have severely limited the network traffic and use very restrictive firewall settings.
It is also interesting that the installation script makes further system changes that are completely unnecessary for the operation of the software. For example, the default theme of the login manager is overwritten.
Should you have any further questions or encounter any other problems, I will be happy to help you as much as I can.
Many greetings,
Maximilian
