Changelog

1.75.0

Build on the official Home Assistant base image 3.24-2026.08.0 and run as an s6-overlay service
(rootfs/); bash and jq now come from the base image.
Keep every architecture: armhf, armv7 and i386 are built on the previous base image generation
(3.22-2025.11.1), whose Alpine ships older package versions (pinned as *_LEGACY build arguments).

Pin bash and jq to exact versions; every installed package now has a static version.
Name release images ARCH-hass-rsync-local-vVERSION.

Consolidate CI, five-architecture builds, documentation checks, and GHCR publication in the shared engine.
Publish versioned architecture tags and a multi-platform image manifest.
Add metadata-driven version, mount, build, and support badges.

Added prebuilded docker image using homeassistants latest alpine linux base
Fix the private workflow engine connection and validate all five architectures.
Use Alpine 3.24.2 with the shared startup helper for lean, local builds.
Publish architecture-specific GHCR images and send the catalog's update-addons event.

Fix local Docker builds failing on unavailable rsync/coreutils package revisions.
Resolve both packages from the selected Alpine base instead of pinning missing revisions.
Keep package repositories aligned with the base, including Supervisor BUILD_FROM overrides.
Verify package availability and report the actual installed versions in build checks.
Restore the main catalog to root project submodules without a .sources directory.

Back up other apps' exposed configuration using either /app_configs or /addon_configs.
Back up locally developed apps using /local_apps, /addons, or the convenience alias /local_addons.
Store-visible changelog, a complete setup guide, and individual architecture/project badges.
Store refresh and targeted repository-repair instructions for obsolete upstream :dev image errors.
Runtime checks for invalid devices, unsafe destination paths, missing sources, and colliding destination names.
Automatic unmount attempts on completion, copy errors, and handled stop signals.
Real folder-copy and failure-path tests in the five-architecture build checks.

Pin rsync to 3.5.1-r0 and Coreutils to 9.11-r1.
Use a smaller Alpine Edge runtime without S6 or Bashio.
Remove redundant recursion/compression options from the default local-copy arguments.
Lower rsync CPU scheduling priority to reduce contention with Home Assistant.
Keep the repository README focused on users; place detailed setup in DOCS.md.
Remove obsolete commented replacements while keeping concise safety/compatibility explanations.

App version increases from 1.73 to 1.74.
All five architectures remain included; 32-bit platforms are legacy builds.
A Supervisor with all_addon_configs mapping support is now required (schema verified against 2023.11.0); there is still no artificial Core-version floor.
Existing explicit rsync options continue to apply unchanged.
Destination folders remain named after the configured source directory. Missing sources and duplicate names now fail before copying.
Default --delete behavior is unchanged. There is still no encryption, version history, or automatic Home Assistant database snapshot.
Alpine Edge is used for the requested package versions; pinned revisions must remain available to build.

Prepare the fork for the local USB-backup use case.
Add a direct repository notification workflow and independent build checks.
Restore AMD64, AArch64, ARMv7, ARMhf, and i386 build targets.
Remove the artificial Core-version floor and restore legacy folder/device metadata.
Document configuration, scheduling, restore limitations, and upstream credits.

Earlier upstream releases are not reconstructed here; this changelog records the changes made in this fork.
