IGM v1.14 Release Notes 🚀

This release update introduces new features alongside several enhancements to the overall user experience and performance under the hood, alongside several fixes.

[ IGM App Display Grouping ]

✨ New Features

• IGM now uses true colour support with fallback for improved terminal display.
• Added ability to check the current version of IGM via CLI command. Run igm help for usage.
• Improved CLI commands with the following added/updated commands:
  • start/restart/stop - Ability to chain multiple applications under these commands, for instance, to restart multiple apps: igm restart app-1 app-2 app-3.
  • igm logs app - See the logs of the application. Logs will be automatically filtered to show everything from today's logging rather than including everything from the last.
• Added proxy application install limit option and integrated limit controls into the proxy menu.
  • You can now define how many proxy instances are installed per application before installation.
    • Example: if you have 6 proxy entries and set a limit of 2 for app a, only 2 instances of app a will be installed.
    • Other applications without a defined limit will continue to install across all available proxy entries.
  • Added CLI option for proxy install limit and can be run via igm proxy limit.

[ IGM Proxy Install Limit ]

⚡ Enhancements & Optimisations

• Improved installed app list display with grouping support for multiple proxies (auto-grouped in GUI). Additionally, it will also show the install count for each group.
  • For CLI command you need to specify grouping as raw display is generally faster. Grouping mostly benefits when view for proxy applications.
    • igm show & igm show proxy - Traditional raw view with no groupings but still show install counts.
    • igm show group - Will show apps/proxy altogether with grouping.
    • igm show proxy group - Will show all running proxy apps grouped based on their installed IP set.
• Added dynamic platform override loading for installing applications. Based on then host architecture, the appropriate container image will be downloaded or defaulted to x86_64 if no ARM version is available.
  • Repocket - Will use ARM version if the machine architecture is arm64. For older ARM based like arm7l, arm6l will default to using x86_64 image with emulation layer.
  • Packetstream - Unfortunately the official ARM image version doesn't really work so will default all to x86_64 until future working release.
• EarnApp application now uses custom in-house Alpine-based build for smaller resource footprint. The only smallest and Alpine based image on the internet!
• For proxy application install limit, any application that has a hard limit install is automatically defined and users installing on the same host can't exceed that number of install limit. This is to prevent wasting extra resource if the app only allows up to a set number of devices to be installed.
• Update config viewer module to use shared colour declaration, now with true colour.
• Minor refactors and UI display tweaks.
• Adopted new app util handling internally and added install delay between proxy application installs, useful on slower hardware to give time for containers to spin up.
• Removed legacy backup logic and unnecessary fields, keeping the code base cleaner.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed setup configuration bug where users reported can't save credential creation after completing configuration process.
• Fixed issue with unable to change Colima's configuration and always defaulting to default settings.
• Fixed platform compatibility and improved overall cross-platform stability.
• Fixed minor display output and other compatibility issue on macOS.

🧹 Other Updates

• Updated CLI help documentation.
• Updated IGM reset mechanism.
• Container platform handling is now more dynamic and flexible.

Feature - Colima Support 🐳 🚀✨

This update adds support for Colima to macOS platform. macOS users can now install and run Colima instead of Docker Desktop. It is also highly recommended.

The benefits of running Colima over Docker Desktop is performance and lower resource usage, without the need to use the Docker Desktop GUI.

macOS users will see the extra runtime option when running the install runtime option.

What's New

• Add support for macOS platform to install and run Colima over Docker Desktop. Underlying it's still using Docker as runtime.
• Added new CLI command `igm runtime'.
• Ability to configure Colima resource allocation via the configuration menu.
• Add macOS Launch Agent plists files, to allow macOS to automatically start and run Colima when the system starts.
• IGM menu - Option 7 have been renamed from Manage Docker to Manage Runtime.
• Various other background fixes and improvements.

Refer to the documented guide here for more details: Colima Guide.

ℹ️ If you are the latest version of IGM, you may run igm update to update to the latest version 1.13, otherwise update via the IGM menu.

What's Changed

• Feature - Colima Support by @XternA in #92

Major Update 🚀✨

This release combines a couple of changelog into this release tag, including new features, fixes and optimisations.

What's changed

IGM

• Optimise and speed up performance when configuring application's credentials.
• Added GNU sed to macOS to allow cross platform support.
• Update tool updater interface more user-friendly and added CLI option. IGM tool can now be updated via CLI command igm update.
• Added ability to use either of the following editor of choice than the standard nano editor. IGM will auto detect what's installed on the host and will list what editor can be selected. Resetting IGM will reset the editor option. Run CLI command igm editor or via IGM menu to change the default editor.
  • Vi / Vim
  • Neovim
  • Nano
• Added extra platform distro and version information to IGM menu. When IGM is loaded, it will now show extra information about the host machine.
• Update IGM application watchdog updater Watchtower. If the host machine already has Watchtower installed, IGM now runs it's own watchdog and will only monitor applications from Income Generator.

IGM Proxy

• Fix proxy issue with not being able to deploy more than 10 applications.
• Update proxy logic to allow keeping unused proxies commented out without removing. You can now comment out any proxy unused. But share the proxy content across host with IGM and choose which proxy to use and unused without needing to remove the proxy entry. To comment out a proxy entry, just add a # in front of the proxy entry.

Alongside other optimisations and fixes not included in the highlighted changelog.
