Add POST_TO_API_DONE idempotency guard to post_to_api() to prevent
the same telemetry record from being submitted twice with the same
RANDOM_UUID. This mirrors the existing POST_UPDATE_DONE pattern in
post_update_to_api().
post_to_api() is called twice in build.func:
- After storage validation (inside CONTAINER_STORAGE check)
- After create_lxc_container() completes
When both execute, the second call fails with a random_id uniqueness
violation on PocketBase, generating server-side errors.
* fix(debian-13-vm): disable systemd-firstboot and add autologin via virt-customize
Newer Debian 13 (Trixie) nocloud images (Jan 29+) have systemd-firstboot
enabled, which blocks the boot process by prompting for timezone and root
password on the serial console. The noVNC console stalls after auditd checks.
Fix by using virt-customize (like docker-vm.sh) to:
- Disable systemd-firstboot.service and mask it
- Pre-seed timezone to Etc/UTC
- Configure autologin on ttyS0 and tty1 for nocloud images
- Set hostname and clear machine-id for unique IDs
- Install libguestfs-tools if not present
Fixes#11807
* feat(debian-13-vm): add cloud-init selection dialog for default and advanced settings
Add select_cloud_init() function consistent with docker-vm.sh that prompts
the user to choose between Cloud-Init (genericcloud image) and nocloud
(with auto-login) in both default and advanced settings.
Previously, default settings hardcoded CLOUD_INIT=no without asking.
* Remove Go API and extend misc/api.func
Delete the Go-based API (api/main.go, api/go.mod, api/go.sum, api/.env.example) and significantly enhance misc/api.func. The shell telemetry file now includes telemetry configuration, repo source detection, GPU/CPU/RAM detection, expanded explain_exit_code mappings, and refactored post_to_api/post_to_api_vm to send non-blocking telemetry to telemetry.community-scripts.org while respecting DIAGNOSTICS/DEV_MODE and adding richer metadata (cpu/gpu/ram/repo_source). Also updates header/author info and improves privacy/robustness and error handling.
* Start install timer and refine error reporting
Call start_install_timer during build startup and overhaul exit/error reporting.
Changes:
- Invoke start_install_timer early in misc/build.func to track install duration.
- Update api_exit_script comments to reference PocketBase/api.func and adjust ERR/SIGINT/SIGTERM traps to post numeric exit codes (use $? / 130 / 143) instead of command strings.
- Replace the previous explain_exit_code implementation with a conditional fallback: only define explain_exit_code if not already provided (api.func is the canonical source). Expanded and reorganized exit code mappings (curl, timeout, systemd, Node/Python/Postgres/MySQL/MongoDB, Proxmox, etc.).
- In error_handler: stop echoing the container log path (host shows combined log), and post a "failed" update to the API with the exit code before offering container cleanup.
Rationale: these changes make telemetry more consistent and robust (numeric codes), provide a safe fallback for exit descriptions when api.func isn't loaded, and ensure failures are reported to the API prior to any automatic cleanup.
* Report install start/failure to telemetry API
Add telemetry hooks in misc/build.func: call post_to_api at installation start to capture early or immediately-failing installs, and call post_update_to_api with status "failed" and the install exit code when a container installation fails. This improves visibility into install failures for monitoring/telemetry.
Kasm changed their release URL format starting with v1.18.1:
- Old format: kasm_release_1.18.0.09f70a.tar.gz (with hash)
- New format: kasm_release_1.18.1.tar.gz (without hash)
The script now tries both detection methods:
1. First tries to find URL with hash suffix (old format)
2. Falls back to detecting version from service_images URLs and
constructing the new URL format
This fixes the update detection for Kasm v1.18.1 and future versions.
Fixes#11785
