Full configuration export/import system for Homarr with excellent DX:
- Export/import boards, apps, integrations (with re-encrypted secrets),
users (with bcrypt hashes), groups (with permissions and memberships),
search engines, and server settings
- Homepage services.yaml import with widget-type mapping
- Generic resolveEntities() utility eliminates per-entity boilerplate
- Declarative entity-fields.ts: adding a new user preference requires
only one line change (no export/import/schema edits needed)
- User schema uses .catchall(z.unknown()) for forward-compatible prefs
- groupByKey() utility replaces manual Map-building
- CONFIG_ENTITY_KEYS as single source of truth for entity metadata
- Reuse existing entities (apps by name+icon+href, integrations by
kind+name+url, users by email, groups by name, boards by name)
- Skip duplicates with warnings rather than failing
- Onboarding flow skips user creation step when config includes users
- Reuse existing admin group during onboarding after config import
Add a dedicated Import/Export tool page with full configuration export/import
(v2.0 bundle with encrypted secrets), Homepage services.yaml import with env
variable resolution, and manual Docker label discovery (moved from cron job).
Support importing Homarr JSON during onboarding alongside legacy zip import.
New @homarr/board-portability package handles schema, serialization, compat
checks, and import planning. Shared preview UI reused across admin and onboarding.
Fix xterm.js crash by removing deprecated @xterm/addon-canvas (incompatible
with xterm v6). Fix Homepage env variable i18n and React 19 currentTarget bug.
See docs/config-portability.md for full changelog.
