- Changed setup_mariadb() to use Debian/Ubuntu distribution packages by default
- Official MariaDB repository only used when specific version is requested
- Added cleanup logic for old/orphaned repository files with apt update
- Added version comparison to prevent downgrades (keeps higher version installed)
- Added automatic fallback to distro packages if repo installation fails
- Extracted _setup_mariadb_runtime_dir() helper function
- Updated all related documentation
This change improves reliability by avoiding MariaDB mirror issues
(HTTPS->HTTP redirects, geographic availability problems) for standard
installations while still allowing specific versions when needed.
* Rename import_local_ip to get_local_ip
Replaces all references to the helper function import_local_ip with get_local_ip across scripts and documentation for consistency. Updates usage examples and comments to reflect the new function name.
* Rename get_local_ip to get_lxc_ip and update usage
Replaces all references to get_local_ip with get_lxc_ip across scripts, documentation, and templates for clarity and consistency. Updates the implementation in core.func to improve IP detection for LXC containers, and adjusts helper functions in addon scripts accordingly.
Based on analysis of latest 30 scripts (koel, wallabag, invoiceninja, etc.)
Templates updated to reflect current best practices:
ct/AppName.sh:
- Use check_for_gh_release + fetch_and_deploy_gh_release pattern
- CLEAN_INSTALL=1 for updates
- Proper backup/restore workflow
- Simplified configuration comments
install/AppName-install.sh:
- fetch_and_deploy_gh_release as primary download method (no separate RELEASE variable)
- Real-world examples from Node.js, Python, PHP apps
- import_local_ip called early
- Setup runtimes/databases before app installation
- cleanup_lxc at the end
HELPER_FUNCTIONS.md:
- fetch_and_deploy_gh_release as preferred method (documented first)
- CLEAN_INSTALL=1 environment variable documented
- prebuild type with asset_pattern documented
- Clarified when to use get_latest_github_release vs fetch_and_deploy
Closes#10194
