Replace author attribution with "MickLesk (CanbiZ)" in ct/coredns.sh and install/coredns-install.sh. Reformat the categories array in json/coredns.json to a multiline style and adjust trailing newline/whitespace. These are non-functional metadata/formatting changes.
Add a new Alpine-based container template for IronClaw. Introduces ct/alpine-ironclaw.sh (installer/launcher with update routine), ct/headers/alpine-ironclaw (ASCII header), install/alpine-ironclaw-install.sh (sets up PostgreSQL 17, pgvector, deploys MUSL prebuilt IronClaw binary, creates OpenRC service and env file), and json/alpine-ironclaw.json (metadata, docs link, ports, resource defaults). The template auto-generates a gateway auth token, uses the MUSL binary for a minimal footprint, and documents post-install steps (ironclaw onboard).
Create /usr/local/bin/update_cronmaster during install and inside update() (using a single-quoted heredoc to avoid variable expansion) and make it executable. The generated updater now exports CRONMASTER_ACTION=update when invoking the fetched cronmaster.sh, and the main script checks CRONMASTER_ACTION instead of type. Also adjust the repository fetch path and remove a duplicate ensure_usr_local_bin_persist call.
Add IronClaw container templates and install scripts (ct/ironclaw.sh, install/ironclaw-install.sh, json/ironclaw.json) to provide automated setup, service unit, and default config for the IronClaw AI agent.
Refactor tools/addon/cronmaster.sh to use the ProxmoxVE misc endpoints, initialize optional telemetry, improve function loading, and strengthen OS detection (Debian/Ubuntu-only). Make service and install behaviors more robust: ensure /usr/local/bin persistence, create/update the update script from the new repo URL, change systemd WantedBy to multi-user.target, enable service quietly, save generated credentials to /root/cronmaster.creds, and use distinct exit codes for unsupported/invalid states. Misc license URL fix and other small reliability improvements.
Replace inconsistent msg_info calls with msg_warn for mirror-list warnings and msg_custom for "Attempting mirror" lines to unify output formatting in misc/build.func and misc/install.func. Simplify tools/pve/update-lxcs-cron.sh by removing the long mirror-probing block and using a straightforward apt-get update + noninteractive dist-upgrade (and cleanup of EXTERNALLY-MANAGED) in containers to reduce complexity and improve maintainability.
Improve package mirror resiliency in misc/build.func and misc/install.func by adding fallback and detection logic for Debian/Ubuntu and Alpine CDNs. Changes include:
- Detect distro (debian vs ubuntu) and use appropriate mirror lists and primary mirror (ftp.debian.org vs archive.ubuntu.com).
- Add retry loops that try a shuffled list of regional mirrors, test connectivity, update repo files, and attempt package installs/updates again.
- For Alpine (apk) installs and updates, try alternate mirrors on failure, write /etc/apk/repositories, and surface clearer warnings/errors if all mirrors fail.
- Update interactive prompts and informational messages to reference the correct mirror list (Ubuntu vs Debian) and generalize prompt wording.
- Improve exit handling so failures are reported and abort the process when necessary.
These changes make automated installs more robust against CDN sync issues and unreachable primary mirrors.
Standardize and clarify apt mirror diagnostics in misc/build.func and misc/install.func: update warning phrasing when apt-get update fails; change per-mirror failure messages from "Mirror X: <reason>" to "Mirror X failed (<reason>)"; change success messages to "CDN set to <mirror>: tests passed"; and add informational logs like "Attempting mirror: <mirror>" when trying alternate mirrors. These changes improve visibility into mirror selection and failure reasons during package update/installation.
When apt-get update fails, capture and display the failing mirror host to aid debugging. Adds grep-based extraction of the upstream host (from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.sources or /etc/apt/sources.list) with a fallback to "unknown", and includes the host in the warning/echo. Applied to misc/build.func (inside pct exec), misc/install.func (pkg_update), and tools/pve/update-lxcs-cron.sh.
Enhance apt-get update handling for Debian/Ubuntu/Devuan containers by adding regional mirror lists and a fallback routine. The script now detects container timezone to prefer regional mirrors, builds a randomized candidate list, probes each mirror (timeout on TCP:80), rewrites /etc/apt/* sources to use a working mirror, and retries apt-get update until success. Keeps the existing non-interactive dist-upgrade and cleans up apt lists as before. This improves reliability of updates inside LXC containers when default mirrors are unreachable or misbehaving.
