Phase 1 — Docker Artifact Optimization:
- Replace broad `COPY . .` with targeted frontend source copies (API/Python
changes no longer bust the frontend build cache)
- Replace build-essential with gcc/g++ (leaner runtime)
- Fix LOG_LEVEL=debug → info for production
- Harden .dockerignore (exclude worktrees, IDE, CI, test artifacts)
Phase 2 — State & Persistence:
- Add PUID/PGID support in entrypoint.sh for bind mount compatibility
- Guard against PUID=0/PGID=0 to prevent accidental root execution
- Evict conflicting system users (e.g. node:1000) before UID remap
Phase 3 — Security:
- Always register @fastify/rate-limit so login brute-force protection
works even when global rate limit is disabled (RATE_LIMIT_PER_MIN=0)
- Add trustProxy support (TRUST_PROXY env var, default true) so rate
limiting and audit logs use real client IPs behind reverse proxies
- Strip stack traces from 500 error responses in production
- Fix FSTDEP022 deprecation: maxParamLength → routerOptions
- Add multi-file guard on single-file tool endpoint with clear error
message pointing to the /batch endpoint
Phase 4 — Graceful Degradation:
- Add consolidated hardware detection startup banner (GPU, rate limit,
upload limit, proxy status)
- Add ConnectionMonitor component with health polling and reconnecting
overlay that auto-dismisses when the server comes back
Phase 5 — Deployment Docs:
- Rewrite deployment.md with copy-paste CPU and GPU compose templates
- Add hardware requirements table (minimum, recommended, heavy workloads)
- Add PUID/PGID bind mount documentation
- Add complete env var reference table
- Add reverse proxy guides for Nginx, Nginx Proxy Manager, Traefik,
and Cloudflare Tunnels
- Remove all lite/full variant logic from frontend, API, shared constants,
docs, and tests (single unified Docker image only)
- Replace single QEMU multi-arch Docker build with per-architecture native
builds (amd64 + arm64) and manifest merge to fix disk space exhaustion
- Add disk cleanup step and per-platform build cache scopes
- Switch release trigger from push to workflow_dispatch
- Add GitHub issue templates and PR template
Merge CPU, CUDA, and lite Docker images into a single unified image.
One tag (latest) works on all platforms: amd64 (NVIDIA CUDA) and arm64 (CPU).
GPU auto-detected at runtime. All ML models and packages baked in.
Key changes:
- Platform-conditional Dockerfile (nvidia/cuda on amd64, node on arm64)
- tini as PID 1 for proper signal handling
- Fix FILES_STORAGE_PATH data loss bug
- Fix RealESRGAN upscaler (was broken, always fell back to Lanczos)
- Fix PaddleOCR language codes and stdout corruption
- Simplified CI/CD (single build, single tag)
- Expanded model pre-download with verification
- Shutdown timeout, improved health endpoint
- Remove unused lama-cleaner
- README: add CUDA docker run example alongside full and lite
- Getting started: add GPU acceleration tip with speedup numbers
- Deployment: add CUDA row to variants table
- Docker tags: expand benchmarks with warm + cold start tables
- Add :cuda tag to Docker Tags docs with setup, benchmarks, compose example
- Add GPU acceleration tip to AI engine docs
- Include benchmark table from RTX 4070 testing
README Quick Start now shows both :latest and :lite commands.
Getting Started adds a tip callout about the lite image.
Deployment page lists both variants with a comparison table and
updates the CI/CD description to mention both are built.
Developer guide adds the lite build command.
Update all references across docs, workflows, UI components, and config
to point to the new GitHub org (stirling-image/stirling-image) and Docker
Hub account (stirlingimage/stirling-image) ahead of repo transfer.
Rewrite README to remove AI writing patterns (em dashes, promotional
language, vague claims). Make Quick Start section explicit about default
credentials and forced password change. Add Contributing section linking
to CONTRIBUTING.md, developer guide, and translation guide.
Create CONTRIBUTING.md with issue guidelines, PR workflow, commit
conventions, and development setup. Add developer guide (dev setup,
project structure, how to add a tool) and translation guide (how the
i18n system works, step-by-step for adding a language) to VitePress
docs. Register both new pages in the docs sidebar.
Remove hardcoded --platform=linux/amd64 from Dockerfile so buildx produces
native arm64 images for Apple Silicon and Raspberry Pi. Add audit logging
for auth events, harden file storage with extension whitelists and
double-extension attack prevention, reject null-byte buffers in validation,
add data-testid attributes to all tool settings components, update
deployment docs with architecture notes and correct CI workflow references,
and fix unit test mock to match throwWithMessage error extraction.
Remove docs/superpowers/, .claude/ config, and PRD.md from version
control (kept locally via .gitignore). Update README, CHANGELOG,
VitePress docs, and .env.example to reflect recent features: Files
page, teams, admin settings, persistent storage, and various API
improvements.
Extract EXIF auto-orientation logic into a shared auto-orient module
used by both single-tool and batch routes. This ensures camera photos
display correctly after processing regardless of entry point.
Also expands e2e and integration tests significantly.
Consolidate all access to localhost:1349 — Vite dev server serves on 1349
and proxies API calls to an internal dev port (13490). Production API
defaults to 1349. Also includes strip-metadata improvements, UI component
updates, and compress operation fixes.
Rewrites all documentation with accurate project details (Fastify, port
1349, single-container Docker, all 33+ tools, full database schema).
Adds getting started guide and configuration reference. Updates help and
settings dialogs to link to the docs site.
