Introduce BetterDesk v2.0.0 by adding interactive ALL‑IN‑ONE installer/manager scripts for Docker, Linux and Windows (betterdesk-docker.sh, betterdesk.sh, betterdesk.ps1). Bump VERSION to 2.0.0 and update README and .github/copilot-instructions.md to document the new workflows and quickstart. Move older helpers into scripts/legacy/, add a legacy README and adjust template paths. The new docker script includes compose generation, image build/start/stop, backup/restore, repair/validation, admin password management, diagnostics and uninstall routines.
Add a full automated build pipeline, interactive build scripts, documentation and development utilities.
- Add GitHub Actions workflow (.github/workflows/build.yml) to build BetterDesk (hbbs/hbbr) for Linux x64, Linux ARM64 and Windows x64, upload artifacts, optionally create a release and update repository binaries.
- Add interactive build scripts for Windows and Unix (build-betterdesk.ps1, build-betterdesk.sh) supporting download, patch application, cross-build and checksum generation.
- Add build and status docs (docs/BUILD_GUIDE.md, docs/STATUS_TRACKING_v3.md) and update project README/instructions (.github/copilot-instructions.md) with new items and updated timestamp.
- Add development utilities under dev_modules/ (multiple database/patch/test helpers) and move test_generator.py into dev_modules/test_generator.py.
- Update .gitignore to exclude archive/ folder.
- Modify hbbs-patch-v2 sources (database.rs, http_api.rs, main.rs, peer.rs and add rendezvous_server.rs) and remove legacy fixed files; update web UI backend and static files (web/app.py, web/static/*, web/templates/index.html).
These changes set up CI/CD for multi-platform builds, provide local build tooling, expand docs for v3 status tracking and ID-change features, and add developer test/patch utilities.
Introduce automatic database migrations and auth table creation across installers, update documentation and docker entrypoint.
Changes include:
- Docs: update installation guidance, mark primary installers (install-improved.sh/.ps1) as recommended, clarify Docker usage, add troubleshooting flags and note about automatic DB migrations.
- install-improved.ps1: bump to v1.5.2; add Invoke-DatabaseMigration which runs an embedded Python migration to add required peer columns, create users/sessions/audit_log tables, and run during install and after -Fix.
- install-improved.sh: add creation of a "note" column in the peer table as part of run_database_migration (schema hardening for new fields).
- docker-entrypoint.sh: perform safe schema checks and ALTERs for peer columns, create indexes, ensure authentication tables and default admin user are present; improved logging and idempotent migration behavior.
Purpose: make installs and upgrades more robust by automatically bringing existing SQLite schemas up to date, provisioning auth infrastructure, and documenting the recommended installation flows and recovery options.
Update Dockerfiles and compose to use local BetterDesk (hbbs-patch-v2) binaries, avoid pulling unpublished images, and improve build reliability. Dockerfile.hbbr/hbbs now copy patched binaries, set executable symlinks and run the BetterDesk binaries by default. Dockerfile.console adds DNS fallback entries to mitigate resolver failures during build. docker-compose.yml sets image names and pull_policy: never and runs the enhanced binaries directly. Documentation updated (DOCKER_TROUBLESHOOTING.md, README, .github/copilot-instructions.md) with troubleshooting steps for "no such table: peer", pull access denied, and DNS build issues.
Normalize console output in install-improved.ps1 by replacing Unicode symbols and bullets with ASCII equivalents for improved compatibility and readability. Replaced ✓/✗/⚠/ℹ/• markers with [OK]/[ERROR]/[WARN]/[INFO]/- and changed feature checkmarks to [+]. No functional changes to installation logic.
Add an offline-diagnosis script and Copilot guidelines, update Docker flow to require local image builds, and promote hbbs-patch-v2 binaries with checksums.
Highlights:
- New dev_modules/diagnose_offline_status.sh to detect and fix "all devices offline" issues.
- Added .github/copilot-instructions.md with project state and build guidelines for Copilot.
- Emphasized local Docker builds in DOCKER_SUPPORT.md, DOCKER_TROUBLESHOOTING.md, docker-compose.yml and docker-quickstart.sh (replace pull with build/rebuild).
- Updated docs/TROUBLESHOOTING_EN.md and README to document offline-status causes/fixes and Windows/Linux v2 binaries (API port 21114).
- Added hbbs-patch-v2 Windows binaries, updated CHECKSUMS.md, and removed legacy hbbs-patch v1 files.
- Bumped VERSION to 1.5.5 and adjusted installer scripts (install-improved.sh/ps1) accordingly.
These changes improve diagnostics, clarify deployment (Docker/local builds), and roll out the v2 BetterDesk server binaries with verification info.
Added logic to stop RustDesk-related systemd services before updating binaries to prevent 'Text file busy' errors. Services are stopped, a short delay is introduced, and a message is printed to indicate services will be restarted after the update.

Marked hbbs-patch/bin-with-api as deprecated in CHECKSUMS.md, providing clear migration instructions and highlighting known issues. Updated install-improved.sh to prioritize hbbs-patch-v2 binaries, warn users about old binaries, prompt for confirmation before using outdated versions, and improve detection and messaging around binary versions and their issues.
Enhanced both fix_systemd_services.sh and install-improved.sh to better handle missing ExecStart lines, robustly detect and update service binaries to API-enabled versions, and provide clearer status and backup information. The scripts now create timestamped backups, handle more edge cases, and give improved user feedback for manual intervention if needed.
Introduces automatic detection and update of RustDesk systemd service files to use API-enabled binaries (hbbs-v8-api, hbbr-v8-api) during installation. Adds dev_modules/fix_systemd_services.sh for manual service correction, improves service restart logic to handle multiple naming conventions, and updates documentation and changelogs to reflect these critical changes.
Renamed versioned files (app_v14.py, script_v15.js, index_v15.html) to generic names (app.py, script.js, index.html) and updated all references accordingly. Added missing columns (updated_at, deleted_at) to the peer table and improved database schema checks and fixes in scripts. Introduced fix_peer_columns.sh for quick peer table repair, enhanced Python dependency installation logic, and updated documentation to reflect these changes. Removed obsolete deployment script and incremented version to v1.5.2.
Introduced check_and_fix_database.sh for automated database schema validation and repair, including admin user creation and backup. Updated audit_log table schema in install-improved.sh and web/auth.py to use device_id and timestamp fields, ensuring consistency across scripts and database migrations. Updated documentation to reflect the new script and usage.
Enhances the database migration script to verify and update the sessions table structure. The script now checks for the correct primary key, adds the last_activity column if missing, and recreates the table if the structure is outdated, ensuring consistency and referential integrity.
