Linxr v2.0.0

What's new in v2

Docker works
Docker is pre-installed and starts automatically with the VM. Just open the terminal and run containers:

docker run hello-world

Terminal no longer disconnects
The terminal stays connected when you switch apps or lock your screen. It only resets when you restart the VM. Sessions auto-reconnect if the connection drops while the VM is still running.

Multiple terminal tabs
Open up to 5 SSH sessions side by side using the tab bar in the Terminal screen.

Settings screen
Configure vCPU count, RAM, and disk size before starting the VM. Changes take effect on the next VM start.

Faster boot
Boot time reduced to ~2–3 minutes (down from 4–5 min) — kernel module loading is now batched.

Linxr v1.1.6 — Dynamic Disk Expansion

What's new

Bug fixes

• Fixed disk space — the VM filesystem now expands automatically to fill the full virtual disk size on first boot. Previously df -h showed only 1.4 GB regardless of available storage.
  • Root cause: Alpine Linux 3.19 ships resize2fs in e2fsprogs-extra (separate from e2fsprogs). The package was missing from the rootfs.
  • Fix: e2fsprogs-extra is now installed, and a dedicated OpenRC diskexpand service runs resize2fs before sshd starts.

Improvements

• Dynamic disk sizing — go to Settings and set your preferred disk size (8 GB, 30 GB, 50 GB…). Tap Reset VM Storage + restart to apply.
• Settings screen — new Restart button and Reset VM Storage button with confirmation dialog.
• Orphan QEMU fix — if the app restarts unexpectedly, the old QEMU process is now killed before starting a new one (prevents port conflicts).

Notes

• Existing installs: tap Reset VM Storage in Settings after updating to get the expanded filesystem.
