• Check and update runtime images, game files, and the GamePanel Lite control plane independently.

Deployment notes

• Production uses compose.prod.yaml.
• HTTPS deployments add compose.https.yaml; both files describe the same Nginx service.
• Published control-plane images target linux/amd64.
• Persistent data remains under the installation data directory.

Known limitations

• Provider capabilities differ by game.
• This is an early self-hosted release; keep an external copy of important worlds and backups.
• Review later patch releases before relying on the initial self-update implementation.
