IGM Exclusive Packetshare Pot Service | Bugfixes | Optimisations 🚀⚡

This release switches the Packetshare Pot service application to an IGM exclusive version which is blazingly fast, super-lightweight and more robust, alongside other bugfixes and general optimisations.

🚀⚡ Packetshare Pot Service

All IGM users now benefit from an IGM exclusive Packetshare Pot service application which is highly optimised, replacing the standard version.

Benefits

• 97.4% smaller - 3.98MB vs 155MB
• Faster execution - Compiled binary with aggressive optimisations
• Optimised image supported for platforms: amd64, arm64
• IGM-exclusive - Licensed for Income Generator users

Impact

• Faster setup and startup time (smaller pull size)
• Reduced disk space usage
• Better performance on resource-constrained devices (Raspberry Pi, etc.)
• No configuration changes needed - drop-in replacement

If you have any issues please report it in the Packetshare Pot repo.

🛠️ Optimisations/Enhancements

• General optimisation to the display UI when showing application install list and various other UI that uses this display layout.
• Optimised Windows bootstrap script - reducing WSL call overheads.
• Optimise igm clean logic or running housekeeping via IGM UI.
  • CLI now has two modes:
    • Light mode (igm clean) - Removes stopped applications, keeps images for fast reinstall.
    • Deep mode (igm clean all) - Removes stopped applications and unused images to reclaim disk space.
• Overall optimisation should benefit slower or heavy loaded devices such as Raspberry Pi.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed issue where IGM would remove stopped applications and images not managed by IGM. For instance if the user have other containers installed on the same host running alongside IGM.
• Fixed display issue where display UI showing applications about to be installed would not show service applications unless the standard app variant was also marked for install.
• Fixed display UI issue where service apps only appear in install list display when standard app variant were also selected.
