1.1.9 Breaking risk

Breaking changes
  • All existing data will be lost on upgrade; manual backup and restore required.
Notable features
  • Device colors selectable by users
  • Profile pictures for devices
Full changelog

[!CAUTION]

This release will wipe all of your data!

You need to download the new docker-compose.yml and Caddyfile from https://github.com/onloc-app/onloc-deployment/releases/latest

Due to some errors I made in the past while changing Postgres from latest to version 16, the paths for data was broken and I never spotted it until today. This made it so new users that downloaded Onloc for the first time didn't get persistent data so after restarting the container all data was lost. This is now fixed and should not happen again in the future. I recommend backing up your current data before the update and add it to the new DB after.

This release adds colors to your devices (colors you can choose!) and profile pictures. The new features are pretty basic for now, but I felt like I needed to get this fix out as soon as possible.
