v3.0.3 - Simplified Update Process

🎉 What's New

Update Process Simplified

• Removed complex update script - Updates are now done by recreating the LXC container
• Updated dashboard banner - Shows clear instructions for destroying and recreating container
• No data loss - All media is stored on NAS, container is stateless

📦 Installation

New Installation

bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TheLastDruid/mediaIngest/main/install.sh)"

Update Existing Installation

Since the container is stateless (all data on NAS), updating is simple:

# 1. Find your container ID
pct list | grep media-ingest

# 2. Destroy existing container (replace CTID with your actual container ID)
pct stop CTID && pct destroy CTID

# 3. Run installer to create fresh container
bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TheLastDruid/mediaIngest/main/install.sh)"

⚠️ Note: Container ID may change after recreation
