TaskPilot 0.4.0

What's new

1. The Containers tab is now VMs & Containers. It marks virtual machines, including VM-in-container images such as dockur/windows, lists every Docker context, and can start, stop, restart and remove containers owned by root.
2. Root-owned Docker and Podman containers are listed without a password prompt in the active desktop session, because listing is read-only. Controlling them still asks for an administrator password.
3. Running Incus/LXD instances show their memory use.
4. Disabled instances of templated services (name@instance.service) stay listed in Services.
5. Builds again with Qt 6.5 through 6.9, not only 6.10.

Install

Pick the package built for your distro:

Distro	Install with
Kubuntu/Ubuntu 26.04	sudo apt install ./taskpilot_0.4.0_ubuntu-26.04_amd64.deb

openSUSE Tumbleweed	sudo zypper install --allow-unsigned-rpm ./taskpilot-0.4.0-1.opensuse-tumbleweed.x86_64.rpm
Arch Linux	sudo pacman -U ./taskpilot-0.4.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Then launch taskpilot or find it in your application menu. Each package was built on its distro and test-installed in a fresh container. SHA256SUMS lists the checksums. On other distros, build from source (see the README).

TaskPilot 0.3.0

First packaged release of TaskPilot — a KDE/Qt6 system task manager for systemd services & timers, mounts, cron, autostart, ports, journal, snaps, containers and sessions.

Install (Debian/Ubuntu)

sudo apt install ./taskpilot_0.3.0_amd64.deb

Then launch taskpilot or find it in your application menu.

Note: this .deb is built against current KDE Frameworks 6 / Qt 6.10+ (e.g. Kubuntu 26.04). On other distros/versions, build from source (see the README). Privileged actions go through a polkit-gated KAuth helper, so you're only prompted when an action needs root.
