After thinking for about a year about it I decided to rename the project to šNetAlertX. This will help prevent confusion about which fork someone is using, and differentiate it from the now stale upstream project. With about 1800 or so commits over the stale project, I thought, this project deserved a new name. It will also remove the confusion about only supporting Raspberry Pi's šµ
On top of the rename, I implemented āØunlimited icons - just find an SVG you like and use it š.
The rename from PiAlert to NetAlertX should be pretty straightforward and existing setups should work fine, no manual migration steps should be necessary. Still, caution is recommended.
Check this https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/issues/633 thread for edge-cases and the guide https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/blob/main/docs/MIGRATION.md if you decide to change your docker-compose.
I think the X is a bit too much, but other than that, awesome and keep up the good work ! š
The practice of calling a product āFooBar Xā, unless itās literally your version 10 that you just happen to be marketing in Roman numerals, feels a bit like those businesses that named themselves āPlumbing 2000ā, itās a bit tacky and doesnāt tend to age well IMHO. But hey, itās not like itād be the first software with a slightly kitsch name I use either lol
I was thinking about that sooo much, but difficult to find a free domain for networking-related projects. I think I delayed the rename by a month because I couldn't decide. So yeah, I am not the happiest about the X at the end myself, but I also don't have that much money to get a proper domain, so NetAlertX it is :)
Naming is really hard, I canāt blame you haha. I never had to name public facing things, at work I usually advocate for either really straightforward descriptive names or just having fun on a theme (e.g. we had classical music based stuff at one place, like Orchestra, Sonata, Symphony, and pop culture/nerdy stuff at another like Marvel heroes or SW characters, etc). Coming up with a name thatās marketable, discoverable and searchable sounds like a nightmare lol
