- lib/common.sh: require_docker now installs Docker CE + Compose plugin
via get.docker.com instead of erroring out if Docker is missing.
Also adds the calling user to the docker group automatically.
- README.md: fix 'tells you how to install Docker' → 'installs Docker
automatically'; add full USB drive usage section (mount, fstab,
DOCKER_DIR config, moving existing data, tips).
- services/minecraft.sh: replace single-source whitelist import with the
multi-source UI from the updated setup-minecraft.sh — collects players
from the current instance, saved backup files, and other servers' backups;
assigns letters to each source so you can import by letter (all from that
source) or by number (specific player).

bootstrap.sh: one curl | sudo bash to get and run on a fresh box —
installs git if missing, clones/updates the repo, execs setup.sh.
README.md: complete rewrite. The old README described the monolithic
script (--restore, --migrate flags, Samba, NetBird, etc.) which no
longer exists. New README covers quick start, usage modes, service
table, layout, and managing installed services.

Step 6 now scans docker-compose files for volume mounts:
- Detects absolute paths that don't exist on new system
- Shows old path and suggests ~/drives/primary/{folder}
- User can: accept suggestion, skip, or enter custom path
- Updates compose file with new path
- Creates directory if needed
Example:
Container: immich
Old path: /home/user1/media/driveb
Suggested: ~/drives/primary/driveb
[Enter] Accept | [S] Skip | [path] Custom
- New [M] Migration option at script start
- Auto-detects Docker directories (/var/docker, /opt/docker, ~/docker)
- Scans for docker-compose.yml files and lists containers with sizes
- Whiptail checklist for selecting containers to migrate
- Option to stop containers before copy (clean database state)
- Preserves versions - no unwanted upgrades during migration
- After migration, offers to install additional services
- Three modes now: Normal install, Migration, Disaster Recovery
- Install Kopia in Step 1 (core utilities)
- Add Step 9: Reconnect Kopia repository after restore
- Backups now work immediately after disaster recovery
- Update README with 9-step recovery process
- Immich: Ask for photo storage location (default ~/drives/primary/photos)
- Immich: External library support for existing photos (read-only)
- Immich: Storage template guidance for yyyy/mm organization
- Add Watchtower container with notify-only mode (safe for apps with DB migrations)
- Document what Docker data lives where and what gets backed up
- Update README with v2.9 changelog
- Add MeshCentral Server as Docker app (ports 4430, 4433)
- Recovery mode now installs core utilities first (openssh-server, git, etc.)
- Add whiptail checklist for selecting which services to restore
- Users can now choose some/none/all services instead of all-or-nothing
- Update README with v2.8 changelog and MeshCentral port
New features:
- --restore flag for disaster recovery mode
- Interactive mode selector at script start (N=Normal, R=Recovery)
- Full disaster recovery flow:
1. Show available drives, auto-mount if device path given
2. Auto-detect Kopia repository
3. Try to find password in backed-up .env, or prompt
4. Install Docker if needed
5. List available snapshots, let user choose or use 'latest'
6. Restore snapshot to temp location
7. Detect all docker-compose.yml files = services to restore
8. Copy services to ~/docker/
9. Optionally start all containers
10. Cleanup temp files
Removed old buried import section that only showed manual instructions.
Documentation:
- Added Disaster Recovery section to README
- Added --restore to command-line options
- Documented what gets restored and requirements
- Added v2.7 changelog entry
Changes the installation pattern for Docker apps to be more robust:
- Install docker-compose.yml FIRST (always succeeds)
- THEN try configuration with prompts
- Use sensible defaults if prompts fail
- Continue to next app even if current config fails
- Added || true and 2>/dev/null to prevent script stops
Updated apps: Frigate, Frigate-Notify, Caddy, ddclient
Config templates now include clear warnings:
- "YOU MUST EDIT THIS FILE" for required configs
- "YOU MAY NEED TO EDIT THIS FILE" for optional configs
- Links to documentation
This ensures the script completes even with complex interdependent
services that may need manual configuration after install.
New Docker applications:
- FindMyDevice (FMD) server for self-hosted Android device tracking
- Frigate-Notify for push notifications on Frigate AI detections
Caddy improvements:
- Interactive domain configuration during setup
- Comprehensive Caddyfile template with all services (commented)
- Clear instructions for caddy_net Docker network usage
- .env file with MY_DOMAIN variable
Frigate-Notify features:
- Auto-detects if Frigate and ntfy are installed
- Interactive setup for Frigate URL and ntfy topic
- WebAPI mode by default (polls Frigate every 30s)
- Config template with labels, zones, quiet hours
- Warns about public ntfy.sh privacy implications
New Docker applications:
- Jellyfin (free media server with hardware acceleration)
- Frigate NVR (AI-powered object detection)
- Caddy (reverse proxy with automatic HTTPS)
- ddclient (dynamic DNS updater)
- ntfy (self-hosted push notifications)
- Uptime Kuma (service uptime monitoring)
- wg-easy (WireGuard VPN with web UI)
- Traccar (GPS tracking server)
- Portainer (Docker management UI)
Container backup system:
- Kopia backup for all Docker container data
- Backup script for configs, databases, app state
- Restore script for disaster recovery
- Backs up Immich memories, Emby metadata, Minecraft worlds, etc.
All apps use docker-compose in ~/docker/{appname}/ with storage on
primary drive where appropriate.

- WireGuard VPN with key generation and config setup
- Tailscale mesh VPN with Tailscale SSH documentation
