Upgrading pagedjs
Up until today (February 21st, 2026), the version of pagedjs that Octomode depends on is 0.1.43.
From today, we will upgrade the version to the latest stable version, 0.4.3.
Octomode depends on two files that should be changed with the upgrade.
- /opt/octomode/static/paged.polyfill.js (v0.1.43)
- /opt/octomode/static/pagedjs.css (v0.2.0)
These should be upgraded to
- /opt/octomode/static/paged.polyfill.js (v0.4.3)
- /opt/octomode/static/interface.css (v0.4)
The file paged.polyfill.js can be overwritten, but as the CSS has a different filename, we should also update any templates that are being used by Octomode:
- /opt/octomode/static/templates/pagedjs.html
Method
1. go inside /opt/octomode/static/
$ curl https://unpkg.com/pagedjs@0.4.3/dist/paged.polyfill.js > paged.polyfill.js $ curl https://gitlab.coko.foundation/pagedjs/interface-polyfill/-/raw/master/interface.css?ref_type=heads > interface.css
2. change ownership to the www-data user
$ chown www-data:www-data paged.polyfill.js $ chown www-data:www-data interface.css
3. go inside /opt/octomode/static/templates
$ sudo nano pagedjs.html
4. Replace the text "pagedjs.css" with "interface.css". Changing it from:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="{{ lang }}">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<script src="{{ url_for('static', filename='paged.polyfill.js') }}" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="{{ url_for('static', filename='pagedjs.css') }}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen">
<!-- [LOCAL HACK] mb: added /octomode/ below to make the stylesheet link work again. -->
<link href="/octomode/{{ name }}/stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print">
<title>{{ title }}</title>
</head>
<body>
{{ pad_content }}
</body>
</html>
to
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="{{ lang }}">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<script src="{{ url_for('static', filename='paged.polyfill.js') }}" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="{{ url_for('static', filename='interface.css') }}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen">

</html>
