New stuff arrived 🎁

I hope you like the new name and logo. 😅

After thinking for about a year about it I decided to rename the project to 🚀NetAlertX. This will help prevent confusion about which fork someone is using, and differentiate it from the now stale upstream project. With about 1800 or so commits over the stale project, I thought, this project deserved a new name. It will also remove the confusion about only supporting Raspberry Pi's 😵

On top of the rename, I implemented ✨unlimited icons - just find an SVG you like and use it 😄. Migrating existing icons and making the UI play nicely with the change took some effort, but it should be working smoothly now. There are also a couple of UI tweaking settings, so check out the changes below. 🔽

A shout-out to @vladaurosh for quickly helping as I'm sometimes blind and thanks to @wintergew for some UI tweaks. 🙏 There was also @zilvernet who reported a bunch of issues and tested the new icon functionality 👍 Oh and @YoSafeguard added a full Russian translation 🌍💪

Please read the below carefully, but in general, I hope the transition will be smooth and should be mostly fully automated.

💔 Breaking changes

Sometimes I have to introduce breaking changes

The rename from PiAlert to NetAlertX should be pretty straightforward and existing setups should work fine. Still, caution is recommended. On a high-level this is what has changed:

• Existing configuration, database and devices should automatically come over without issues.
• I will keep updating the pi.alert docker hub image for now, but aim to retire it by the end of the year
• device name & manufacturer in the MQTT messages and sensors (HomeAssistant) changed from PiAlert to NetAlertX
• app or netalertx (NetAlertX) prefixes and names are used instead of pialert
• If you mapped/mounted any other folders, make sure you change the base mounting location as per the Migration guide.

🏘️ Community

• What version of Raspberry PI is needed to run the bare-metal install?
• Can you help me develop an Asus router plugin or Mikrotik devices?
• Someone requested an Italian translation so if you speak it - help out if you can (Norwegian & French need also some help)(🧪)
