v0.4.0 — Documentation clarity & Docker EXPOSE fix

Changes

• Docker: Add EXPOSE 4200 to Dockerfile for local Docker testing without port override
• README (EN + FR): Restructure Quick Start into 4 clear options with prerequisites
  • Option 1: go run (quick test, no install)
  • Option 2: go install (global install)
  • Option 3: Docker (deployment + local testing)
  • Option 4: Makefile (build from source)
• Stop instructions: Every option now tells the reader exactly how to stop the server
• No breaking changes — this is a documentation and DX improvement over v0.3.0

v0.3.0 — Default port changed to 4200

Breaking Change

• Default listen port changed from 8080 to 4200 (ShellInBox legacy port)
• Users relying on the default port should update their configurations, firewall rules, or reverse proxy targets accordingly.

Why

Port 8080 is commonly used by other services (proxies, dev servers). Port 4200 is a nod to ShellInBox heritage and avoids conflicts.

Files affected

config.example.yaml, internal/config/config.go, docker-compose.reverse-proxy.yml, Caddyfile.example, README.md, README.fr.md, docs/deploiement-reseaux-contraints.md

v0.2.0 — Network Traversal & Windows Fix

What's New

Features

• Auto-TLS with Let's Encrypt — set a domain and the server handles certificates automatically (--domain, --autocert-dir)
• Docker deployment — docker-compose.yml exposes ports 80/443 for restricted network traversal (airports, train stations, corporate firewalls)
• Reverse proxy variant — docker-compose.reverse-proxy.yml with Caddy for TLS termination
• CLI flags — --domain, --tls-cert, --tls-key, --autocert-dir

Bug Fixes

• Windows terminal input — replaced stdin/stdout pipes with ConPTY for working keyboard input in the browser

Other

• Dockerfile updated to golang:1.26-alpine
• README clarifies Docker = deployment, binary = local testing
• French deployment guide for restricted networks
