    v0.7.1 - Docker Backend Discovery & Vision Support

    Patch release fixing Docker compatibility issues and adding vision support for llama.cpp and LM Studio.

    Bug Fixes

    Docker Backend Discovery

    • Discovery endpoints now read from OLLAMA_URL, LLAMACPP_URL, LMSTUDIO_URL environment variables
    • docker-compose.yml sets all backends to host.docker.internal for container→host access
    • Previously, auto-detect would fail for llama.cpp and LM Studio when running Vessel in Docker

    Vision Support for OpenAI-compatible Backends

    • OpenAI adapter now converts images to content parts array format
    • Enables vision/multimodal models with llama.cpp and LM Studio
    • Previously, images were ignored when using non-Ollama backends

    Justfile Updates

    • Added --host 0.0.0.0 to llama-server commands for Docker accessibility

    Documentation Updates

    • Added --host 0.0.0.0 requirement for llama-server (Docker access)
    • Added LM Studio "Serve on Local Network" setup instructions
    • Added Docker-specific troubleshooting notes for both backends

    Upgrading

    docker compose pull
docker compose up -d

    Or use the install script:

    ./install.sh --update

    Note: If using llama.cpp with Docker, restart llama-server with --host 0.0.0.0. For LM Studio, enable "Serve on Local Network" in Server Settings.

    • Unified LLM client routing through backend API
