ROOT · Network OS 1.6.1

ROOT · Network OS 1.6.1

This release adds the Docker browser edition alongside the existing Windows and Linux desktop downloads.

• x86-64 and ARM64 containers: ghcr.io/tricade/root-network-os:1.6.1 (or :latest), with the complete web UI and first-person bunker. Rendering uses the browser; the container needs no GPU.
• Persistent progress: Compose stores the current save and previous valid backup in a separate volume. Existing browser/desktop progress can be exported and imported through Settings.
• Local by default: the host port binds to loopback. NAS/LAN and HTTPS proxy deployments use an explicit browser origin; ROOT still has one save per instance and no account system.
• Predictable operation: a non-root process, read-only runtime, health check and graceful save shutdown. Tagged images are tested natively on both architectures before publication. Dependabot tracks the pinned Node base image.

Docker start, backup and update instructions

docker compose pull
docker compose up -d --no-build --wait

Download compose.yaml first, then open http://127.0.0.1:18473. Keep the Compose project directory and volume when updating. Do not use down -v unless you intend to delete progress.

The simulation and save schema are unchanged from 1.6.0. Offline catch-up remains capped at 12 hours; running Docker does not run an unlimited server-side economy. Windows/Linux installed editions keep their existing updater; portable editions and Docker use manual updates. Desktop packages remain unsigned.
