v1.12.1 - Perplexica Migration to Official Image
🎯 What's New
Perplexica: Official Docker Image Migration
Perplexica now uses the official pre-built Docker image instead of building from source. This brings several improvements:
✅ Faster Installation
- No build time required (~5-10 minutes saved)
- Image pulls in seconds instead of building locally
✅ Simplified Configuration
- Web-UI based setup (no config.toml files)
- Configure AI providers through intuitive interface
- No container restarts needed for config changes
✅ Better User Experience
- Setup wizard on first login
- Easy provider switching (Ollama, OpenAI, Claude, Groq)
- Persistent configuration in Docker volumes
