Hi Alessandro, thanks again. That is a very good collection of useful topics. I am sure that will help us.

Maybe it would be nice to put the QgsPluginInstaller also into the official API documentation (or in the “Deploying QGIS within an organization” documentation)? I could imagine that others also try to establish an “autoinstall/autoupdate” scenario. I'm not sure we can add that information to the API docs, because that code is not part of the stable API but it's something to consider for sure. Btw, I've just found buried in the internet a work I've done a few years ago when I was working for Boundless: https://boundless-desktop.readthedocs.io/en/latest/system_admins/init_scripts.html#scripts-examples It may be helpful for your use case (I think it's for QGIS 2.x but it should be easily portable to QGI 3).

That sounds very promising. I think that is what we need. But can you tell me what exact Python API we have to use? I can’t find anything related to that topic in the API documentation [0] (we are using the LTR version QGIS 3.4). Yeah, there is not much QGIS core API for plugins management, it's mainly done in the Python side: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/python/pyplugin_installer/installer.py [0] https://qgis.org/pyqgis/3.4/index.html Tanks und kind regards, Josef Von: Alessandro Pasotti <apaso...@gmail.com<mailto:apaso...@gmail.com>> Gesendet: Mittwoch, 6.

We have also setup an internal plugins server. We can install the plugins from our plugin server manually, but is there also the possibility to install and update them without any user interactions (we have pre-configured the plugins in the QGIS3.ini)? basically, you need to create a custom startup py file and deploy it (it can also live on a network share), the startup script will contain the instructions (using the QGIS python API) to upgrade the plugins you need automatically. See the links for some more information: https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/pyqgis_developer_cookbook/intro.html#the-startup-py-file https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/introduction/qgis_configuration.html#deploying-qgis-within-an-organization Hope this helps. -- Alessandro Pasotti w3: www.itopen.it<http://www.itopen.it> -- Alessandro Pasotti w3: www.itopen.it<http://www.itopen.it> -- Alessandro Pasotti w3: www.itopen.it<http://www.itopen.it>
