Oculus, the tool behind migration and upkeep

A forgotten site does not raise its hand: it falls over. Oculus is a table, one line per site, and a coloured dot that says what needs your attention today.

It is not a product to install. It is the tool behind two services: migration to Joomla 6, and the "stay current, from 4 to 6" upkeep. Both after a survey, and on a quote.

What the console shows, site by site

The core and the server

The Joomla version and the one waiting, the number of patches, the PHP version, the database engine and the state of the schema.

The extensions

The list of what is installed, with available updates highlighted. That is often where falling behind begins.

The backups

The age of the last one, in days, turning red when it becomes unreasonable, the engine used, and a button that triggers one remotely.

The accounts

The number of administrator accounts, and how many have no two-factor authentication. A figure you can fix in an afternoon.

The files

Suspicious files found, the permissions on tmp and cache, whether the .htaccess is there, and configuration.php set read-only.

The certificate and the tasks

The days left before the certificate expires, in red as the deadline nears, and the site's scheduled tasks.

Sites are grouped by client and sorted from the most pressing to the least. The table refreshes itself every five minutes.

What Oculus does not promise

Oculus measures and reports. It finds suspicious files, checks permissions, counts accounts without two-factor authentication, watches certificate expiry and backup age, and can trigger a backup. It makes no site invulnerable, and we will not write otherwise.

The two services

Migration to Joomla 6

A survey first: which version you start from, which extensions are in place, which ones did not follow, and what has to replace them. Then a quote, on what was actually seen, not off a price list.

Stay current, from 4 to 6

The site joins the console. Updates, backups and deadlines are tracked, and you get what needs a decision rather than a report nobody reads.

Twenty-four sites are tracked today. Yours can be one of them.
