feat: walking-skeleton live ISO that boots into the Flask wizard
iso/build.sh runs mkarchiso inside a privileged archlinux container,
overlays our customizations onto Arch's stock releng profile
(systemd unit that launches Flask on 0.0.0.0:5000, the webinstaller
under /opt/furtka, extra packages for python/flask/avahi), and drops
a hybrid BIOS/UEFI ISO in iso/out/.

Verified end to end: Proxmox VM (OVMF, Secure Boot off) boots the ISO,
DHCP's onto the LAN, and serves screens 1-3 of the existing wizard at
http://<vm-ip>:5000/install/step1. This is the first point at which
Furtka is something you can run instead of something you can read about.

Two known drive-list bugs surfaced while testing (/dev/loop0 and
/dev/sr0 appear as install targets) — captured in the README roadmap.

Changelog

All notable changes to Furtka will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog. This project uses calendar versioning: YY.N-stage (e.g. 26.0-alpha = 2026, release 0, alpha stage).

Unreleased

Changed

  • Project name finalized: Furtka. Working title "Homebase" retired. Domain furtka.org registered via Strato 2026-04-13.
  • Managed gateway NS hostnames updated from ns1.homebase.cloud / ns2.homebase.cloud to ns1.furtka.org / ns2.furtka.org.
  • Python package renamed from homebasefurtka in pyproject.toml.

Added

  • Forgejo Actions runner live on Proxmox VM (forge-runner-01, Ubuntu 24.04) with DinD sidecar — CI green end-to-end. Setup scripts in ops/forgejo-runner/.
  • Walking-skeleton live ISO (iso/build.sh). Overlays an Arch releng profile with Flask + the webinstaller, bakes a systemd unit that auto-starts the wizard on boot, produces a hybrid BIOS/UEFI ISO via mkarchiso in a privileged archlinux:latest container. Tested booting under OVMF in Proxmox — wizard screens 13 respond at http://<vm-ip>:5000.

26.0-alpha - 2026-04-13

First tagged snapshot. Pre-alpha — the installer does not yet boot, but the design is locked and the prototype components are shaped.

Added

  • Installer webapp prototype (webinstaller/) — Flask app with 3-step wizard (hostname → drive → overview), serves drive list via drives.py::list_scored_devices().
  • Drive scoring module (webinstaller/drives.py) — scores attached disks by type (NVMe/SSD/HDD), SMART health (smartctl -H), and size. Consumed by the installer and usable as a CLI.
  • Base archinstall configuration (archinstall/user_configuration.json) — systemd-boot, ext4, Docker + Compose preinstalled, server profile, SSH. Credentials template at archinstall/user_credentials.example.json (real credentials gitignored).
  • Installer wireframes (docs/installer-wireframes.md) — Robert's hand-drawn 4-screen UX sketches.
  • Competitor analysis (docs/competitors.md) — CasaOS, Umbrel, YunoHost reviewed across install flow, hardware detection, app store UX, reverse proxy/SSL, user complaints. Key finding: device-aware wizard + managed gateway are uncontested differentiators.
  • Wizard flow spec (docs/wizard-flow.md) — 8-screen first-boot flow extending Robert's wireframe with YunoHost-style domain/SSL/diagnostic/confirm screens. Locked tech picks with rejected alternatives.
  • Project README — vision, principles, architecture, key decisions, landscape, roadmap.

Decisions locked

  • Reverse proxy: Caddy (auto Let's Encrypt, simplest config)
  • Identity provider: Authentik (bundled SSO, every app auto-wired at install)
  • Managed gateway DNS: NS delegation to ns1.furtka.org / ns2.furtka.org (wildcard cert via Let's Encrypt DNS-01)
  • Local HTTPS: Local CA installed by user once (no browser warnings on *.proksi.local)
  • Base OS: Arch (rolling, Debian remains fallback)
  • Containers: Docker + Compose
