Migrating from clucraft/PriceGhost

Set these env vars so PriceStalker attaches to your existing priceghost database and volume without moving any data. See .env.example for details.

POSTGRES_DB=priceghost
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres:postgres@postgres:5432/priceghost
POSTGRES_VOLUME_NAME=priceghost_postgres_data

Added

• OpenRouter AI provider — aggregator access to hundreds of models (free tier included) via one API key. Defaults to meta-llama/llama-3.1-8b-instruct:free. Closes upstream #23.
• Groq AI provider — merged from upstream PR #27 by @f-liva. Supports Llama 3.3 70B, Llama 3.1 8B Instant, Mixtral 8x7B, Gemma 2 9B.
• Migration path from clucraft/PriceGhost — env-overridable docker-compose.yml. Keep your data; no rename, no volume move.
• LICENSE file (MIT) with attribution to the original author and the fork.

Changed

• Rebranded from PriceGhost to PriceStalker across UI, docker identifiers, package names, and assets.
• Base images bumped from Node 20 to Node 22 LTS (addresses part of upstream #31).
• Multi-currency parser — fixes the bug reported in upstream #24 where Brazilian R$2.720,00 was parsed as $2.72. Added BRL, PLN, KRW, RUB, SEK, NOK, DKK, CNY. Swiss apostrophe (CHF 1'234.56) is now handled. Number format is disambiguated using the detected currency.
• Frontend price formatting consolidated — six duplicate implementations replaced with one shared util. NotificationBell now correctly displays CHF.

Fixed

• Product name truncation to 255 chars — merged from upstream PR #18 by @ericdaugherty. Closes upstream #17.
• Groq column migration — upstream PR #27 only added the columns to fresh-install SQL. Users migrating from existing PriceGhost deployments would hit column \"groq_api_key\" does not exist on every Settings save. Now runs as an idempotent startup migration.

Security

• Removed default host port mappings for postgres and backend. Internal docker networking + nginx reverse proxy are sufficient. Closes upstream #20.
