Great work, information, and article/guide, thank you.
At this point, would you be able to tell if this is the system CWP is going to implement?
I have one server that I can implement, but another that I always have to keep in a stable version (so to speak).

I'm not sure what CWP plans are, CSF still lives as open source.
We had an international mirror network already setup for ELRepo, so it was semi-easy for us to add ConfigServer to offer auto updates.
v15.00 is the first release under open source, and removes the closed companies 2 download servers.
This article will advise you how to re-enable auto updates:

First of all, thanks for your response, as always!
Sorry for the delay in replying. I didn't receive the notification email, and I've been short on time for everything these days.
With what you've said, I think I'm clear on this. I'm going to upgrade from 14.24 to 15.00 and activate Auto Update by following the link you provided. There are several mirrors, and it's perfect.
Thanks for the work!

@Starburst
I've made the changes according to your guide, but I have a question:
Where you specify:
nano /etc/csf/downloadservers
and we set up two servers, for example, OK.
But then, here:
nano /usr/local/csf/lib/ConfigServer/Config.pm
if ($chosen eq “”) {$chosen = “One.Server.only”}
We only set up one server. Does it matter which of the two download servers we set up?
-
Config.pm lists a Backup server.
In downloadservers, it doesn't matter what 2 servers are used.

Again, sorry for the delay in replying.
I understand.
On one server, I configured download servers with:
download.cs.stl.us.ssimn.org
download.gb.ssimn.org
Following your mirror links, I picked the second one from the UK, but it contained an error. The next day I received this email:
"Oops: Unable to download: Can't connect to download.gb.ssimn.org:443 (Name or service not known)"
I changed it to:
download.cs.gb.ssimn.org
And it was fixed.
Thanks

I apologize about that, got the mirror's pages fixed.
Saw other links that where spelled OK, but the hyperlink's were all jinxed.

No problem :)
Thanks for fixing them and checking out the others :)
Thanks to you!

Hello @Starburst,
Are the mirrors still up? I am getting a expired SSL certificate and no index.
As an example, I cannot find CSF on elrepo.nue.de.ssimn.org and csf -u returns:
csf -u
Oops: Unable to download: Not Found
with: if ($chosen eq "") {$chosen = "elrepo.nue.de.ssimn.org"} in /usr/local/csf/lib/ConfigServer/Config.pm
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, but I'm still on the original CWP CSF, version 14.2.
What do I need to do to switch to the Aetherinox fork?

Hi @venty,
Have a look here: https://docs.configserver.dev/install/quickstart/install/

Starburst's guide is very straightforward, specific to CWP. Note that the current version is now 15.09:
