I'm taking a temporary break from all my development work.
I'll release v5.9.0 today.
You won't hear from me on Telegram anymore. Any project-related questions should be directed to the admins in the discussion group.
I'll be back in a few months.

Droidspaces v5.9.0 has been released..! 🥳
In this release,
we introduced a daemon, that supports two daemon modes: Native
Thanks to daemon mode, Magisk/APatch users can now use DroidSpaces without any issues!
Also fixed a lot of issues related to the Android app, including the built-in terminal, container configuration menu, etc.
Full changelog and release: https://github.com/ravindu644/Droidspaces-OSS/releases/tag/v5.9.0
Note: I'm actually taking a break from this. I'm planning to wipe out my entire development rig tonight. The app is stable now. Will continue cooking after some time. Peace.. :)

init.rc (lowest-level integration with auto-spawn/unkillable persistence) and Userspace Daemon (app-togglable, starts via post-fs-data.sh, no image modification required). Both modes bypass root-domain seccomp blocks to ensure stable container lifecycles.Thanks to daemon mode, Magisk/APatch users can now use DroidSpaces without any issues!

Now, suggest a way to charge this thing 😄
My plan is to use another USB 3 adapter that has a Type-C port for power input, while plugging the UGREEN adapter into it.
The issue is that my existing adapter capable of doing that only has USB-A ports for inputs.
I'll have to buy a USB-C to USB-A adapter to plug in the UGREEN hub.
This is going to be some kind of human-centipede type of thing 🗿

Added a new toggle to mirror GPU nodes, even without the hardware access mode.
There is no need to add bind mounts.
So, users don't have to worry about ruining the isolation by enabling hardware access just to use the GPU :)
A single toggle, and you're good to go 🗿

New option for OverlayFS users 🤡 explanation
For more context: when installing the backend, we don't create the symlink by default. The user has the complete ability to control the symlink via a toggle.
This is my best solution for a problem that the overlayfs developers don't want to fix 👍🏼
IF you are a power user AND use magic mount, use this toggle to use Droidspaces with the
IF you are an overlayfs user, don't even enable this toggle.

Well, let's ping Google from TWRP recovery 🗿
Everything is working out of the box; I'm using host networking mode.
So, Alpine's udhcpc can assign an IP to our newly plugged eth0 interface :)
Let me ask a question: can whacky Docker/LXC setups do this?
