StatLite 0.6.1: Dashboard fixes and Docker Hub images

[ejboy]

StatLite is a small, self-hosted metrics dashboard for applications and VPS deployments. Version 0.6.1 improves dashboard behavior, adds a Javalin integration recipe, and makes verified release images available on Docker Hub alongside GHCR.

What is new in 0.6.1

Dashboard fixes

Process runtime charts remain visible for targets that report process metrics without HTTP metrics. If a dashboard API refresh fails, the App status retains its status pill and explains the failure.

Javalin integration guidance

The new Javalin recipe shows how an application-owned statlite-metrics/v1 endpoint can expose Javalin Micrometer instrumentation. It uses the existing statlite-metrics target type; Javalin is not a new native collector.

Distribution and maintenance

Release images are mirrored from verified GHCR images to Docker Hub for Linux amd64 and arm64. Native installation and first-configuration guidance are clearer. This release also updates Chart.js, purego, x/sys, and SQLite with its matching libc dependency.

Certification

The exact release candidate passed the Spring Boot 3/4 Actuator and Prometheus matrix, deprecated Spring configuration compatibility, Quarkus, Micronaut 5 and 4 contracts, historical SQLite upgrade and row-preservation checks, and a rebased long-history dashboard stress run. Browser checks covered target/range navigation, process-only charts, API-error presentation and recovery, plus desktop and mobile visual review. The Javalin recipe remains outside framework certification.
