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

📝 Changes

Updated

  • docker-compose.yml: Use itzcrazykns1337/perplexica:latest image
  • scripts/install.sh: Remove Perplexica build step
  • scripts/06_final_report.sh: Update internal URLs and setup instructions
  • README_Services.md: Document Web-UI configuration, remove config.toml references

  • perplexica.config.toml: Configuration now via Web-UI

🔄 Migration for Existing Installations

  1. Run update: sudo bash scripts/update.sh
  2. Open Perplexica Web-UI: https://perplexica.yourdomain.com
