DediConnect QoL update

[mvaessen]

Last month I worked on the DediConnect QoL update, as requested by customers on the previous poll.

Besides implementing DediConnect-related Suggestions was I also working on improving other area's related to DediConnect, in preparation for the upcoming fall.

The update improves usage metrics, like CPU load, RAM and disk usage. You can now also install game servers on other storage devices on a machine, helping you spread load over various disks.

Changes

• DediConnect now checks if a FTP server is already installed before connecting
• Option to Kill container (fast stop game servers)
• Install & remove (schedule remove) mods when game servers are running (Allow scheduling of Mod Installs/Uninstalls (on next restart, etc) #389)
• Add performance metrics to machine overview, detail & install game server pages (Disk space monitoring #330)
• Add table-view to machine overviews
• Improved machine monitoring (incl. online / offline email alerts)
• Manage game file caches via machine danger zone
• Manage docker images via machine danger zone
• Manage available storage via machine settings
• Moved "Update machine credentials" to danger zone
• Added option to select install location for game servers (Ability to put gamer servers on separate drives on the same machine. #173) (Show more info on machine when installing new game server. #501)
• Enabled demo server again
• Debian 12 support

See (#509) for the raw development item.
