Add reproducible build system, native Unraid plugin, and WebUI
- versions.env pins podman, conmon, crun, netavark, aardvark-dns, passt,
  and fuse-overlayfs to verified upstream source checksums; SlackBuild
  recipes, scripts/build-packages.sh, checksums.sh, release.sh, and
  update-versions.sh implement the reproducible pipeline; GitHub Actions
  workflows build in a Slackware container and publish releases without
  committing any binaries.

- plugin/podman.plg installs/updates/removes all eight packages (the
  seven components plus the plugin's own unraid-podman scaffolding
  package) via upgradepkg, using the official Unraid array-event hook
  mechanism (event/disks_mounted, event/stopping) instead of editing
  /boot/config/go. rc.podman and the sbin/ helper scripts implement
  storage creation, config seeding/sync, preflight checks, autostart
  with per-container Safe-Mode, and package verify/update/rollback.

- webui/plugins/podman implements the Dashboard, Containers, Pods,
  Images, Volumes, Networks, Logs, Terminal, Compose, and Settings
  panels against the approved mockup (webui/mockups/prototype.html),
  talking to podman system service exclusively via PodmanClient.php
  (libpod REST API over the Unix socket), with two documented
  exceptions: Terminal's one-shot exec model and Compose's use of the
  podman compose CLI, since libpod has no REST equivalent for either.

- docs/ARCHITECTURE.md and docs/ROADMAP.md record the design decisions
  and honest current status (syntax-checked, unit- and
  integration-tested against fake sockets/servers; not yet run against
  a real Unraid/Podman/Slackware system).

packages/

One subdirectory per Slackware .txz package required by the plugin, built against Unraid's Slackware base. See docs/ARCHITECTURE.md, section 5 for the full rationale (why these components, static linking preference, version pinning, build strategy).

Packages

Directory Upstream project Purpose
podman/ containers/podman Core container engine binary
conmon/ containers/conmon Container monitor process
crun/ containers/crun OCI runtime (preferred over runc)
netavark/ containers/netavark Network backend
aardvark-dns/ containers/aardvark-dns DNS for container-to-container name resolution
containers-common/ containers/common Default config/seccomp/registries templates
fuse-overlayfs/ containers/fuse-overlayfs Fallback storage driver (rootless, Phase 2)
passt/ passt.top (no GitHub mirror) Rootless networking (Phase 2), successor to slirp4netns
unraid-podman/ this repository (not an upstream project) Plugin's own scaffolding — rc.podman, sbin/ scripts, event/ hooks, config templates (see its README)

podman, conmon, crun, netavark, aardvark-dns, passt, fuse-overlayfs, and unraid-podman are built and released automatically by .github/workflows/build-packages.yml. containers-common currently only supplies reference config (see config/) and is not yet wired into the automated build.

Standard layout per package

Each package directory follows the same skeleton:

packages/<name>/
├── <name>.SlackBuild   # Slackware build script (source download, build, packaging)
├── slack-desc            # Slackware package description (max 70 cols / 11 lines)
├── patches/               # Optional patches applied during the build
└── README.md              # Upstream version pinned, build notes, patch rationale

Build pipeline

Packages are built via scripts/build-packages.sh, which runs each package's <name>.SlackBuild in turn (see scripts/lib/slackbuild-common.sh for the shared fetch/verify/package helpers they all use). This must run inside a Slackware-compatible build environment — never on an arbitrary host distro, to avoid glibc/ABI drift against Unraid's base. .github/workflows/build-packages.yml is the CI entry point: it runs the same script inside a pinned Slackware container (scripts/ci/setup-slackware-buildenv.sh bootstraps any build-time dependency the base image doesn't already ship) and uploads the results as a workflow artifact — nothing built is ever committed to this repository.

Exact upstream versions and source checksums are pinned centrally in versions.env (update via scripts/update-versions.sh, never by hand) and, at release time, mirrored into the top-level plugin/podman.plg manifest together with MD5 checksums by scripts/release.sh, so installs are reproducible and rollback-able — see docs/ARCHITECTURE.md, section 14 (Rollback).
