Update base OS in docker image

[n0rt0nthec4t]

Feature Description

Current image uses Ubuntu Jammy. Please update to at least noble or even better, Oracular based.

Additional, consider moving to a smaller image.. alpine or a nodejs one

In a few weeks will be refreshing to 24.04

I’m also looking for a simple method like dependabot to track and manage dependencies, do you know of any approach that might work? Did this for the homebridge apt pkg - build to easy management

[n0rt0nthec4t]

No sure about using dependant (I've yet to set it up on my repos), but looks interesting. Whats your thoughts about changing to a smaller distro image for the base?

[NorthernMan54]

Today, it just works, so making a significant change sometimes causes grief for people ( and a lot of grumbling ), so I prefer to keep it straightforward

[n0rt0nthec4t]

anyway, submitted a pull request to update image to 24.04 LTS (noble), updated HB, ffmpeg and S6 stuff

Looks like needs a major update to the readme also ?

[NorthernMan54]

That is in the backlog, especially with #570

Do you want to tackle it ?

I created an image using @n0rt0nthec4t 's pull request and have been running on 24.04 LTS and the updated components for 6 days without any issues. homebridge-kasa-python requires updated Python and works fine on this new image. I'm also running:

• Homebridge Nest
• Homebridge Alexa Smart Home
• Homebridge UniFi SmartPower Plugin
