Patch shipped: v1.6.749 — Your box: add your own apps, change how shipped apps run, and fix more yourself — all kept across updates

These SparkBox updates are now available: v1.6.749 — Your box: add your own apps, change how shipped apps run, and fix more yourself — all kept across updates - Add any Docker app of your own: paste its compose file under Settings → Your box (or drop it in the new custom folder) and SparkBox checks it, links it, shows it on the Apps page with a 'Custom · yours' badge, starts it, backs up its config, reads its logs, and keeps it across every update. It refuses the settings that would endanger the rest of the box unless you opt in. - Change how a shipped app runs — a GPU, a memory limit, a folder — with an override that survives updates, edited from Settings → Your box, with one click to remove it if the app does not come back. - Fix more yourself: 'sudo sparkbox doctor --fix' offers the known repair for each failed check; 'sudo sparkbox diag' writes the same facts-only diagnostics bundle a ticket attaches so you can read what the box sees; after an update, the first-hour verdict names your overrides first when an app is unhealthy. - Hooks: custom/hooks/pre-up.sh, post-up.sh and post-update.sh run around 'sparkbox up' and after updates, capped and logged, never blocking. - Custom apps are yours: SparkBox shows, starts, backs up and reads them; fixes and guarantees cover the shipped apps. The new 'Your box' docs page spells out what you can change and what survives updates. Update from the SparkBox dashboard, or run sudo sparkbox upgrade on your SparkBox host.
