Full Changelog: https://github.com/ThePorgs/Exegol/compare/4.3.1...4.3.2

Description

New features

• Added a new entrypoint (that allows better interaction between the container creation process and the wrapper. This is mostly transparent to users)
• Added a new start script (that allows better interaction between the container shell starts and the wrapper. This is mostly transparent to users)
• Added support for the Remote Graphical Desktop (beta) feature. This feature relies on XFCE4 and VNC/NoVNC to provide a graphical remote desktop for users. This is especially useful for macOS and Windows hosts were X11 sharing is limited, but also for pro users that deploy Exegol containers on Cloud Private Servers.
• Added a startup sequence to see the progress of your my-resource installation etc
• Random root password for every container (needed when using the desktop feature)
• Adding container rollback procedure if an error occurred when creating a new container
• A custom build path can now be provided to the wrapper for local image building
• Support for Python 3.12

Improvements

• Improved logs when installing (i.e. downloading) images. The estimated size on disk is now shown (previously, only the compressed size was shown and prevented people from knowing how much space the uncompressed image would take).
• Improved custom HOSTNAME on container PS1
• Handle docker Timeout errors
• Can identify docker-desktop on Linux and warn user about it
• New preprod test on github pipeline
• New env var to enable / config features from the wrapper to the container
• Support X11 GUI on Windows 10 with WSLg (must be up-to-date)

Related issues

• WSL2 "Exec format error" when running 'cmd.exe' #191
• sub-modules of exegol-resources are missing #180
• MAC: Using static IP routing for X11 GUI socket when using a VPN
• Printed debug values on version -vvv
