Pinokio 3.6 The show must go on. Releasing Pinokio 3.6 today. This will probably be the last major update until the next major update, and I strongly recommend getting it. Fixes a lot of important components and minimizes chances of running into edge cases.
You can get the latest version by: 1. Going to pinokio home http://pinokio.computer 2. Download 3. Just install (No need to uninstall the old version), and it will overwrite only the pinokio binary, while keeping all the installed apps and data in tact.
Port 42000 Pinokio started out with port 4200, then switched to 42000, and then 80. And then port 80 or 42000 depending on which port is available. But this is needlessly complicated and confusing. Starting with 3.6, Pinokio port has been officially fixed to 42000. The idea behind port 80 was to make the URL much more user friendly (localhost vs. localhost:42000) but I actually have a better idea for this, so no need for all this complexity. Pinokio port is 42000 on ALL platforms. http://localhost:42000
UV Fix There are many great things about UV but one really powerful feature is you can use any version of python in a virtual environment. This feature was incorporated into Pinokio script but I found that there were some quirks with UV that introduced unexpected behaviors. If you ever ran into "python version" issue when installing any app (like Open-WebUI for example), this was. it. This has been fixed and UV now fully creates and uses isolated Python inside Pinokio, which makes everything deterministic and predictable.
Good Bye Permission Errors If you're a Windows user, you have probably run into "EACCESS Permission Error" sometimes. Normally this shouldn't happen but sometimes they happen, and it's because the code doesn't have WRITE access. It's a simple issue that's quite annoying when it happens. I got sick of this error (and you too probably), and starting with Pinokio 3.6, everything that happens inside will NEVER run into this issue because: 1. Everything is installed under ~/pinokio (Pinokio Home) 2. Now the Pinokio Home folder is given FULL write access.
Visual Studio Build Tools Auto-install Fix Visual Studio is the ONLY piece of software that is NOT installed inside Pinokio home. It's installed under your Program Files folder. Because of exception, there were various edge case scenarios where people would get stuck in a "install visual studio build tools" loop. A lot of this has been resolved, and even if you are one of the few who still have this issue, now Pinokio displays instructions on how you can resolve this (Basically uninstall existing Visual Studio Build tools 2019 and reinstall Pinokio) Dealing with Visual Studio has been quite a journey and hope this fixes it all for you. Otherwise, follow the instructions suggested in Pinokio.
Fix for Various Other Bugs Introduced in 3.X When I first started working on Pinokio 3, I really didn't think it would suck this much time and energy out of me. I had a lot of plans for January but ended up spending the entire month of January dealing with issues introduced in v3. I think I've reached a point where we can finally move forward, and things are much more stable and reliable than ever. This means things will move much faster now.
