Increase Stoatchat default RAM from 8192 to 10240 in ct/stoatchat.sh and json/stoatchat.json. Add cargo -j 2 to backend builds in ct/stoatchat.sh and install/stoatchat-install.sh to limit parallel jobs. Remove two environment variables (XYOPS_xysat_local and XYOPS_masters) from install/xyops-install.sh service definition to avoid hardcoded local settings.
Introduce new container templates, installers, and metadata for Stoatchat and xyOps. Adds ct scripts (ct/stoatchat.sh, ct/xyops.sh), full install scripts (install/stoatchat-install.sh, install/xyops-install.sh) that provision dependencies, build components, and create systemd services, plus app metadata JSON (json/stoatchat.json, json/xyops.json). Stoatchat installer handles Rust backend build, SolidJS frontend build, MinIO, RabbitMQ, MongoDB, nginx reverse proxy and multiple backend services (exposes on port 80). xyOps installer builds the Node app, sets up the xySat satellite, service unit, and uses port 5522 for the web UI. Default resource recommendations and notes are included in the JSON metadata.
Call stop_spinner in cleanup() to ensure any active spinner is stopped on exit. Consolidate duplicated qm set branches in ubuntu2604-vm.sh into a single invocation to reduce code duplication and simplify VM disk/serial configuration. Remove the explicit ide2 cloudinit device and redundant cloud-init status messages; setup_cloud_init() is still invoked when USE_CLOUD_INIT is enabled, keeping cloud-init configuration centralized.
Introduce optional Cloud-Init integration and better machine type handling for VMs. Changes include: loading cloud-init helpers lazily (load_cloud_init_functions), interactive cloud-init prompt/configuration (vm_prompt_cloud_init) and SSH key handling, a cloud icon for UI, and vm_machine_type_label for readable machine type display. Default machine type switched to q35 and displays the label in prompts and summaries. VM creation logic now conditionally attaches the cloudinit drive (ide2) and runs setup_cloud_init when enabled; otherwise it creates the VM without the cloudinit device. Post-install messaging now either shows cloud-init details or a guidance message about manual guest filesystem expansion. Minor UI/output adjustments and defaults updated accordingly.
Introduce a shared vm-core loader and refactor the Ubuntu 26.04 VM script to use reusable helper functions. misc/vm-core.func: add COMMUNITY_SCRIPTS_URL default and load_api_functions to dynamically source API helpers, then call load_api_functions from load_functions. vm/ubuntu2604-vm.sh: switch to sourcing the shared vm-core via COMMUNITY_SCRIPTS_URL, replace many inline UI and utility functions with generic vm_* helpers (vm_confirm_new_vm, vm_prompt_*, vm_select_storage, vm_define_disk_references, set_description, etc.), modernize quoting and pushd usage, simplify disk import/resizing logic, and set START_VM default to yes. Also update repository URLs to ProxmoxVED and adjust some behavior (machine type handling, storage/disk references). Overall this centralizes common functionality, reduces duplication, and prepares scripts to use the shared core utilities.
Introduce interactive whiptail-based helpers and robust error handling for VM creation.
- Add error_handler() to report failures (calls post_update_to_api if available), print contextual error info, and call cleanup_vmid.
- Ensure TEMP_DIR is removed in cleanup().
- Replace brittle pve_check with version parsing that supports Proxmox VE 8.0–8.9 and 9.0–9.1 (exits with code 105 on unsupported versions).
- Add ssh_check() to warn users running the script over SSH.
- Add sanitize_vm_hostname() and a suite of vm_* helper functions to prompt and validate interactive settings via whiptail: vm_confirm_new_vm, vm_choose_settings_mode, vm_prompt_vmid, vm_prompt_machine_type, vm_apply_machine_type, vm_prompt_disk_size, vm_prompt_disk_cache, vm_prompt_hostname, vm_prompt_cpu_model, vm_prompt_cpu_cores, vm_prompt_ram, vm_prompt_bridge, vm_prompt_mac, vm_prompt_vlan, vm_prompt_mtu, vm_prompt_start_vm.
- Add storage helpers: vm_select_storage, vm_apply_storage_layout, vm_define_disk_references to detect storage pools, set formats/extensions and prepare disk refs.
- Use APP/NSAPP for description title by introducing local description_title in set_description().
These changes centralize validation and interactive flow, improve UX, and harden error reporting and cleanup.
Modernize and simplify VM installer and lobehub installation flows.
Key changes:
- install/lobehub-install.sh: consolidated apt invocation, replaced manual ParadeDB .deb download with fetch_and_deploy_gh_release helper, added postgresql pg_search preload configuration and restart, moved pnpm installation into setup_nodejs via NODE_MODULE, and adjusted build env handling.
- vm/almalinux-10-vm.sh: major refactor to source shared functions from COMMUNITY_SCRIPTS_URL, add load_functions, centralize cloud-init handling (configure_cloudinit_ssh_keys / setup_cloud_init), replace many custom UI/helper functions with standardized helpers and exit_script, update traps and error handling, simplify prompts/defaults, use $STD for apt operations, and streamline image customization and VM creation flow.
- Added vm/headers/almalinux-10-vm containing the VM header art and title.
These changes centralize common logic, improve cloud-init integration, reduce duplicated code, and make maintenance easier.
