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.
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.
- drop redundant curl of default.yml (file is part of release tarball)
- stop creating /opt/authentik-data dirs in install (mounted later as separate volume)
- enable services without --now in install (started after data volume is attached)
Introduce GitLab release helpers and use them to conditionally update Storyteller.
- misc/tools.func: add get_latest_gitlab_release and check_for_gl_release functions (GitLab API calls, token support, pinning, error handling, requires jq).
- ct/storyteller.sh: wrap update sequence with check_for_gl_release so rebuild/deploy only runs when a new GitLab release is detected; update author metadata.
- install/storyteller-install.sh: remove python3 from apt dependencies and drop NODE_OPTIONS export; minor whitespace cleanup.
These changes prevent unnecessary rebuilds by detecting upstream GitLab releases and improve robustness of release detection and error reporting.
