Enhance post_update_to_api robustness and observability: add debug traces for entry, missing curl, duplicate submissions, DIAGNOSTICS/RANDOM_UUID checks, payload/URL output, and HTTP response code capture; make curl non-blocking and tolerant of failures. Also invoke post_update_to_api on installation failure so build/install errors are reported to telemetry. Includes a small comment glyph fix in build.func. Changes keep telemetry as a silent, best-effort path that won't break script execution.
Reformat telemetry pre-checks in misc/api.func for clearer multi-line condition handling and remove stray whitespace around the curl response logging. Tweak misc/build.func comment line (minor encoding/visual cleanup). In misc/data/service.go remove the strict allowedMethod map and its validation so the 'method' field is treated as optional/flexible; keep sanitization and numeric validations unchanged. These changes improve readability and allow custom method values without breaking behavior.
Replace direct PocketBase integration with a fire-and-forget telemetry ingest endpoint and tighten validation. misc/api.func: point to telemetry.community-scripts.org, add TELEMETRY_TIMEOUT, use DIAGNOSTICS=no opt-out, include random_id/NSAPP/status in payloads, unify LXC/VM POSTs, avoid blocking or failing scripts, remove PocketBase record lookup/patch logic. misc/data/service.go: update TelemetryIn/TelemetryOut schemas to match new payload, add stricter sanitization and enum/range validation, adjust hashing/deduplication usage, and update request logging to reflect nsapp/status. Overall: safer, non-blocking telemetry with improved schema validation and GDPR-friendly behavior.
Introduce a new telemetry ingestion service (misc/data/service.go) that implements an HTTP server to accept telemetry payloads, validate and sanitize inputs, apply rate limiting, compute dedupe hashes, and forward records to PocketBase with token-based auth. Add module file (misc/data/go.mod) setting module telemetry-ingest and Go version 1.25.5. Update Dockerfile to use golang:1.25-alpine and remove baked-in environment defaults (so runtime envs are required), keeping the build stage and final CMD. These changes add the core ingestion logic, dependency module, and align the build image/version.
Containerize the telemetry ingest service and reorganize source layout. Added misc/data/Dockerfile with a multi-stage build (golang:1.23-alpine -> alpine:3.23) to produce /app/telemetry-ingest, run as a non-root user, expose :8080, and provide default env vars for configuration (LISTEN_ADDR, MAX_BODY_BYTES, RATE_LIMIT_RPM, RATE_BURST, RATE_KEY_MODE, ENABLE_REQUEST_LOGGING, UPSTREAM_TIMEOUT_MS). Renamed misc/ingest.go to misc/data/service.go to reflect the new directory structure.
Remove the old Go/Mongo API (api/main.go, go.mod, go.sum, .env.example) and switch telemetry backend to PocketBase (http://db.community-scripts.org). Update documentation and flowcharts to reflect the PocketBase collection (_dev_telemetry_data), new REST endpoints (POST/PATCH/GET), field schema, and revised api.func integration (LXC/VM reporting and status updates). Misc scripts and helpers were adjusted (misc/api.func, misc/build.func, misc/error_handler.func) and a new misc/ingest.go was added. This consolidates telemetry to a hosted PocketBase instance and updates docs and integration points accordingly.
Make SSH key provisioning explicit and interactive for cloud-init VMs. Default CLOUDINIT_SSH_KEYS is now empty; new helper functions discover and extract public keys from common host files, count them, and present a whiptail menu (import all host keys, paste one key, specify a file, or none). configure_cloudinit_ssh_keys writes selected keys to a temp file and sets CLOUDINIT_SSH_KEYS accordingly (removing the temp file if empty). setup_cloud_init now only applies --sshkeys when CLOUDINIT_SSH_KEYS is explicitly provided and logs the source, and vm/docker-vm.sh invokes the key selection UI for cloud-init VMs.
Add new icons and message helpers; introduce get_active_logfile and enhance silent() to redirect output to a proper log file (BUILD_LOG or /tmp fallback), preserve/propagate exit codes, temporarily disable traps while running commands, source explain_exit_code for human-friendly error explanations, and show the last 10 log lines on failure. Also sanitize keys when unsetting MSG_INFO_SHOWN to avoid ANSI/control-char issues, add msg_warn and fatal helpers, and make msg_custom skip empty messages. These changes improve observability and robustness of VM creation scripts and error reporting.
Add command to grant superuser, createrole, and createdb privileges to the postgres user during Databasus installation. Enhance LXC container customization by installing locales for Devuan templates and only configuring locale if locale.gen exists, improving compatibility with minimal templates.
Enhanced the is_unattended() function to prioritize the MODE variable for detecting unattended/non-interactive mode, with detailed handling for various modes and legacy fallbacks. Also, export MODE in build_container() to inform install scripts about the current mode. Updated APP name in forgejo-runner.sh for consistency.
