Just a feature request:
Without SSH access there is no way (as far as I know) how to run october:migrate from backend (only as side effect of force update).
In OC4 there are buttons in Settings > Software Updates > Manage Plugins that can run cache:clear and plugin:refresh.
It would be great if there is also an october:migrate option.

you can build a url to trigger a command.
something like /commands/october-migrate that would trigger the command php artisan october:migrate.
I think there was a plugin existing in the past which was doing something similar to run specific command from the url.
of course, you would need to apply some security.
Hi @chris and thank you - I know about that (it is plugin by Vojta Svoboda).
This is just a proposal to add a one last missing piece in the backend
Best regards,
Jan

I made me a widget for that, very useful for projects where I don’t have CI/CD or servers with limited access
I used Rainlab Builder for that before, but you need to apply the versions for each plugin individually, which is fine when there’s not so many of them.

Ok, thanks for highlighitng this. It sounds like there a clear need for this feature. We will add a button for it to the Manage Plugins screen soon.
