Joomlascan NPM

joomlascan

CLI utility to find Joomla installs and get the installed version.

There are many ways you might want to find Joomla installations, so rather than build in a variety of search methods, this utility takes a list of candidate paths from stdin and identifies the correct folders by looking for version.php in known locations. For example, an easy way to find Joomla is using locate:

$ locate configuration.php
/var/www/html/example.com/configuration.php
/var/www/html/example.com/administrator/components/com_rsform/controllers/configuration.php
/var/www/html/example.com/administrator/administrator/components/com_rsform/models/configuration.php
...

Installation

npm i -g joomlascan

Usage

$ locate configuration.php | joomlascan
$ joomlascan < mylistofjoomladirectories.txt
$ find /var/www -name configuration.php -depth 3 | joomlascan

Output as CSV:

$ locate configuration.php | joomlascan -o csv > joomla-installs.csv

Sample output:

┌────────────────────────┬─────────────────┬────────┬────────────────┐
│ Path to Joomla install │ Install version │ Status │ Latest version │
├────────────────────────┼─────────────────┼────────┼────────────────┤
│ /var/www/example.org   │ 3.3.6           │ Eol    │ 3.4.8          │
├────────────────────────┼─────────────────┼────────┼────────────────┤
│ /var/www/example.com   │ 3.3.6           │ Eol    │ 3.4.8          │
└────────────────────────┴─────────────────┴────────┴────────────────┘

(With default table output.)

Results are sorted in ascending order of the install version.
