v0.44.6

This release fixes container startup failures on fresh deployments and enables advanced variable types for bridge template configurations.

Fixes

• Previously, containers could fail to start with "permission denied" errors when services tried to write to temporary directories. This only affected fresh installations without Docker cache - upgrades and cached deployments were not impacted. The issue was caused by a known Docker BuildKit limitation that doesn't preserve directory permissions during multi-stage builds

Improvements

• You can now use complex variable types in your protocol converter YAML configurations, not just simple text values. This enables bulk configuration patterns like defining a list of PLC addresses with their tag names, units, and data contracts as a single variable, then iterating over them in your template with {{ range .AddressMappings }}. This is particularly useful for S7 and OPC UA bridges where you need to map many addresses to tags

Example usage in YAML:

templateInfo:
 isTemplated: true
 variables:
   - label: "AddressMappings"
     value:
       - Address: "DB1.DW20"
         TagName: "temperature"
         Unit: "celsius"
       - Address: "DB1.DW24"
         TagName: "pressure"
         Unit: "bar"


Then in your template: {{ range .AddressMappings }}{{ .Address }} -> {{ .TagName }}{{ end }}
