- Add docker_cleanup_old_images() to remove dangling images and keep only 2 most recent per tag - Add docker_pull_with_marker() to pull images and update marker files tracking last pull time - Add docker_setup_auto_pull_cronjob() to create/update system cronjob and wrapper script via hash-based detection - Add docker_ensure_auto_pull_cronjob() to ensure cronjob is installed and up-to-date - Create self-contained wrapper script at /usr/local/bin/armbian-docker-pull for cron execution - Store configuration hash in /var/lib/armbian/docker-pull.hash for smart update detection - Install cronjob at /etc/cron.d/armbian-docker-pull to pull images every 12 hours - Move cronjob setup from docker_cli_prepare() to requirements command - Cronjob is now only installed when users explicitly run ./compile.sh requirements - Prevents "12 hours since last pull, pulling again" delay during builds Signed-off-by: Igor Pecovnik <igor@armbian.com> |

Purpose of This Repository
The Armbian Linux Build Framework creates customizable OS images based on Debian or Ubuntu for single-board computers (SBCs) and embedded devices.
It builds a complete Linux system including kernel, bootloader, and root filesystem, giving you control over versions, configuration, firmware, device trees, and system optimizations.
The framework supports native, cross, and containerized builds for multiple architectures (x86_64, aarch64, armhf, riscv64) and is suitable for development, testing, production, or automation.
Looking for prebuilt images? Use Armbian Imager — the easiest way to download and flash Armbian to your SD card or USB drive. Available for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
