AILinux — Project Status Update (October 5, 2025)

Hello AILinux community,
here’s a concise, transparent snapshot of where the project stands today, what’s working, what’s changing, and how you can help. This post covers both the main site https://ailinux.me
and our new forum https://forum.ailinux.me
.

TL;DR

Forum is live and will host changelogs, bug reports, and roadmap discussions: https://forum.ailinux.me

Service rebuild in progress: we’re standardizing and recreating several backend services for reliability and easier updates.

Mirror is healthy: our apt mirror remains available and fast; package counts and repo size are stable.

AI backend up: FastAPI service is running; integration work with WebGPU-powered frontend features is ongoing.

WordPress hardening: CSP and plugin timing issues are under active fix; expect occasional layout/script changes as we tighten security.

What’s Working Today
1) AILinux Apt Mirror

Mirror is online and serving Ubuntu 24.04 “noble” plus selected third-party repos.

High package availability; previously reported scale: _143k .deb packages across amd64, i386, and all.

Goal remains: stable, reproducible installs with simple instructions on the site.

2) AI Backend (FastAPI)

ailinux-backend.service is running via uvicorn on the target port; restarts cleanly.

Endpoints for chat and tooling are responding; we’re adding health checks, rate limits, and logs with structured metadata.

3) Forum

https://forum.ailinux.me
is open for:

Bug reports (with logs/configs where possible)

Feature suggestions

Release announcements

How-to guides from the community

In Progress / Near-Term Changes
1) Service Rebuild & Standardization

We are recreating several services to unify configuration and simplify upgrades:

Systemd units with clear dependencies and health probes

Consistent environment configuration (.env hygiene)

Safer defaults for network exposure and TLS

Automated post-deploy smoke tests

2) WebGPU-Enhanced Frontend

We’re prototyping client-side GPU acceleration for certain AI features directly in the browser (lower latency, reduced server load, better privacy).

This is frontend-only GPU work; server GPUs aren’t exposed to browsers.

Expect staged rollouts behind feature flags.

3) Model Integrations

Consolidating model access (local and remote) and cleaning up legacy endpoints.

Clear, documented toggles for Ollama / Gemini / Mistral / Qwen / Claude backends.

Streamlined .env variables and safer defaults.

4) WordPress Hardening & CSP

Tightening Content Security Policy (CSP) to reduce XSS risk while keeping required scripts/styles functional.

Fixing early plugin init warnings (e.g., translation domains loading too early).

You may notice temporary UI shifts as we swap inline scripts for hashed/nonce’d variants.

Known Issues We’re Fixing

CSP “inline script” blocks: Some inline or third-party scripts are being refused by the current CSP (report-only in places). We’re migrating to nonce or hash based allowances and reducing inline code.

Plugin timing notices: Certain plugins initialize before init; moving them to recommended hooks.

Ollama unit startup (on some hosts): Ensuring correct binary path, permissions, and environment for ollama.service.

Printer/Receiver routing via OPNsense: Will be re-applied after telephony is verified stable; documented routing plan will follow.

For Users: What You Can Do Today

Security & Privacy First
If you encounter blocked assets or errors after security changes, include:

Browser console snippets

The exact page URL

A timestamp and your browser version

Next Milestones

Service Rollup: finalize standardized systemd units and health checks for core services.

Frontend Preview: limited rollout of a WebGPU demo page to validate performance across browsers.

Docs Refresh: updated install guides, .env templates, and a troubleshooting page for common pitfalls.

Release Thread: we’ll pin a rolling changelog in the forum with dated entries and checksums for any downloadable artifacts.
