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).
