Add create_data_directory helper to prepare Docker data volumes with proper permissions and optional SELinux (svirt_sandbox_file_t) support, and use it in install/migrate flows with user guidance on failures. Add comprehensive SYNOLOGY_INSTALLATION.md with Synology/Portainer/container-manager/docker-compose setup, firewall, troubleshooting and update instructions. Update DB adapters (SQLite/Postgres) to treat device_folder_assignments as the single source of truth: clear assignments on folder delete, stop writing folder_id into peer table, and make getUnassignedDeviceCount resilient by trying 'peers' then 'peer' schemas and returning -1 on error. Minor UI tweaks: add console.error on folder assignment failure and add WIP banners/margin adjustments to remote viewer pages.
Expand Nginx example and docs to properly support WebSocket and large uploads. Adds an Upgrade map, increases client_max_body_size, separates /ws/ location with WebSocket upgrade headers, disables proxy_buffering, enables long timeouts and keepalive, and preserves proxy headers for standard HTTP routes. Also adds nginx -t validation, troubleshooting steps (curl test, logs, agent reachability), and optional proxy blocks and notes for BetterDesk Go WebSocket ports (21118/21119). These changes improve reliability for the Web Remote Client and clarify deployment guidance.
Replace AGPL-3.0 with Apache License 2.0 across the repository and update related documentation and metadata. Remove legacy RustDesk-specific architecture docs, delete deprecated Dockerfile.hbbr, rename Dockerfile.hbbs → Dockerfile.server and update docker-compose / install scripts to use it. Add Apache license headers to protobuf defs, remove obsolete web service (hbbsApi.js), and adjust README, CONTRIBUTING and PROJECT_STRUCTURE to reflect the license and commercial/clean-room notices. Includes a small formatting tweak in client_api_handlers.go.

Add a comprehensive SECURITY_AUDIT_2026-03-01 report and .gitattributes; update copilot-instructions (ALL-IN-ONE v2.4.0), README, VERSION, Dockerfiles, scripts, docker-compose and entrypoint. Large updates to web-nodejs (translations, routes, services, frontend assets and middleware) and numerous new utilities; remove legacy Flask web files and archive hbbs-patch-v2 artifacts. Prepares repository for PostgreSQL support, DB migration tooling and the new Go server as the production backend.
Introduce an interactive Docker migration flow and branding/theme support. Adds automatic/manual RustDesk-to-BetterDesk migration logic and menu option (betterdesk-docker.sh), plus a full migration guide (docs/DOCKER_MIGRATION.md) and README updates. Switches project license references to AGPL-3.0 and updates LICENSE locations for hbbs patches. Web console enhancements: new branding service and default theme, i18n middleware now injects branding, extended translations (en/pl), settings UI/JS and CSS for branding/theming, and login JS updated to include CSRF token. Also includes various view/template updates to surface branding across the UI.
Bump to v2.3.0 and switch to Node.js web console as the primary console (Flask deprecated). Add comprehensive security and feature updates: CSRF protection, session-fixation prevention, timing-safe auth, WebSocket auth, TOTP 2FA, operator/admin roles, address-book sync, desktop connect (URI handler), and SSL certificate configuration in installers. Introduce a dedicated RustDesk Client API (WAN port 21121) and related web-nodejs middleware, routes, views, protos, and client JS (rdclient) plus vendor libs. Add developer tooling and scripts (dev_modules), update hbbs-patch-v2 Rust sources, README and changelog/docs, and ignore Node.js artifacts in .gitignore.
Major refactor of betterdesk.ps1: convert to modern PowerShell script with Param/Help, enforce RunAsAdministrator, introduce script-scoped variables, structured logging, Print-* helper functions, auto-mode handling, public IP and password helpers, improved path detection and defaults, binary verification (Verify-*), dependency installation, venv setup for the web console, service setup using NSSM with scheduled-task fallback, and database migration/initialization logic. UI and status output were cleaned up and many functions renamed for clarity. Dockerfile.console: make resolv.conf DNS edits conditional (skip on read-only / Oracle Cloud VCNs) to avoid modifying immutable resolv.conf. .github/copilot-instructions.md: update project status date. These changes improve robustness, non-interactive automation, and Windows service management for BetterDesk.
