ChuckandClaude Opus 5 9378901054 docs(install): what install_service.sh installs; verify script port; no sudo for --help
install_service.sh installs and starts ledmatrix, ledmatrix-web and the
update-verify units, not only ledmatrix.service (systemd/README.md,
README.md). MIGRATION_GUIDE presented 'sudo install_service.sh --help'
as a harmless check; it now shows --help without sudo and warns what a
real run does. SSH_UNAVAILABLE_AFTER_INSTALL: verify_installation.sh
checks the web interface on port 5000.

# Migration Guide
This guide helps you migrate from older versions of LEDMatrix to the latest version.
## Breaking Changes
### Script Path Reorganization
Scripts have been reorganized into subdirectories for better organization. **If you have automation, cron jobs, or custom tooling that references old script paths, you must update them.**
#### Installation Scripts
All installation scripts have been moved from the project root to `scripts/install/`:
| Old Path | New Path |
|----------|----------|
| `install_service.sh` | `scripts/install/install_service.sh` |
| `install_web_service.sh` | `scripts/install/install_web_service.sh` |
| `install_wifi_monitor.sh` | `scripts/install/install_wifi_monitor.sh` |
| `setup_cache.sh` | `scripts/install/setup_cache.sh` |
| `configure_web_sudo.sh` | `scripts/install/configure_web_sudo.sh` |
| `migrate_config.sh` | `scripts/install/migrate_config.sh` |
#### Permission Fix Scripts
All permission fix scripts have been moved to `scripts/fix_perms/`:
| Old Path | New Path |
|----------|----------|
| `fix_assets_permissions.sh` | `scripts/fix_perms/fix_assets_permissions.sh` |
| `fix_cache_permissions.sh` | `scripts/fix_perms/fix_cache_permissions.sh` |
| `fix_plugin_permissions.sh` | `scripts/fix_perms/fix_plugin_permissions.sh` |
| `fix_web_permissions.sh` | `scripts/fix_perms/fix_web_permissions.sh` |
#### Action Required
1. **Update cron jobs**: If you have any cron jobs that call these scripts, update the paths.
2. **Update automation scripts**: Any custom scripts or automation that references the old paths must be updated.
3. **Update documentation**: Update any internal documentation or runbooks that reference these scripts.
#### Example Updates
**Before:**
```bash
# Old cron job or script
0 2 * * * /path/to/LEDMatrix/fix_cache_permissions.sh
sudo ./install_service.sh
```
**After:**
```bash
# Updated paths
0 2 * * * /path/to/LEDMatrix/scripts/fix_perms/fix_cache_permissions.sh
sudo ./scripts/install/install_service.sh
```
#### Verification
After updating your scripts, verify they still work:
```bash
# Check the installation scripts are at their new paths
ls scripts/install/*.sh
./scripts/install/install_service.sh --help # prints usage only
# Note: running install_service.sh for real (with sudo, no --help)
# reinstalls, enables and restarts ledmatrix.service, ledmatrix-web.service
# and the update-verify units.
# Test permission scripts
ls scripts/fix_perms/*.sh
sudo ./scripts/fix_perms/fix_cache_permissions.sh
```

## Other Changes
### Configuration File Location
No changes to configuration file locations. The configuration system remains backward compatible.
### Plugin System
The plugin system has been enhanced but remains backward compatible with existing plugins.

## Getting Help
If you encounter issues during migration:
1. Check the [project root README](../README.md) for current installation and usage instructions
2. Review script README files:
- [`scripts/install/README.md`](../scripts/install/README.md) - Installation scripts documentation
- [`scripts/fix_perms/README.md`](../scripts/fix_perms/README.md) - Permission scripts documentation
3. Check system logs: `journalctl -u ledmatrix -f` or `journalctl -u ledmatrix-web -f`
4. Review the troubleshooting section in the main README
