Every module now has a reviewed desc_tr and longdesc_tr in
module.info.tr - 245 strings across 125 modules. Previously 37 were
reviewed, 194 came from module.info.tr.auto and 14 were missing
entirely (grub2, hardware-info, kea-dhcp, logviewer, nftables, systemd,
xterm), so those modules showed English titles in the Webmin menu.
The reviewed strings are removed from module.info.tr.auto, which now
holds only name_tr - the same split the de and ca translations use.
Thirty-six of those files became empty and are deleted.
Some of the machine text this replaces was wrong rather than just
clumsy:
sarg "Squid Report Generator" had become "Kalamar Rapor
Oluşturucu" - the fish, not the proxy
heartbeat the product name was translated as "Kalp Atışı"
cluster-cron "Cron Jobs" had become "Cron İş İlanları" (job ads)
proc "renice" was translated as "rename"
samba "file and print shares" was split into "create a samba
file" and "print the shares"
exports, hpuxexports, sgiexports, inetd, init, mount, net
each repeated the file path mid-sentence
firewall, the "(iptables)" and "(ip6tables)" qualifiers that
firewall6 distinguish the two modules were dropped
Turkish capitalisation of English words was also wrong throughout
("İptables", "İnetd", "İscsitarget", "İnternet"), and three previously
reviewed strings were stored as double-encoded UTF-8 (cron/desc_tr,
mailboxes/desc_tr, mailboxes/longdesc_tr).
cluster-cron and ldap-server carried a stray desc_de_tr key - a German
key that had leaked into the Turkish file. It is removed.
Completes the Turkish translation of six more modules and removes their
machine-generated lang/tr.auto files:
cluster-useradmin 154 strings - users and groups across servers
net 146 new strings - IPv6, bridges, bonding, VLANs
pptp-server 141 strings - PoPToP PPTP VPN server
format 141 strings - Solaris disk partitioning
filter 131 strings - Usermin mail filtering and autoreply
fetchmail 130 strings - Fetchmail mail retrieval
net already had a partial lang/tr; the 196 existing strings were kept
and only the untranslated remainder was added.
Interface and driver terminology that appears verbatim in configuration
files (Netplan, dhcpcd, Network Manager, miimon, updelay, downdelay,
balance-tlb, balance-alb, VLAN, PPP, PAP, CHAP, MS-CHAP, MPPE, PTY,
UFS, INBOX, procmail) is kept in English.
This small PR fixes deletion of bridges with arbitrary names, like vmbr0, by honoring the boot config bridge flag instead of relying only on name patterns.
It also makes the Debian config parser treat any interface with bridge_ports as a bridge, which previously caused bridge options to be lost on re-save.
delete_bifcs.cgi and save_bifc.cgi only called deactivate_interface()
which brings the link down but never removes the virtual device.
Added destroy_interface_device() that does ip link delete for these.
Also had to add bridge creation (ip link add type bridge) because unlike
bond (81d44f8) and VLAN (7761066) that was still missing.
Other fixes in this commit:
debian-linux-lib.pl: bonding opts were single-element arrays causing
trailing spaces in /etc/network/interfaces on every save.
linux-lib.pl: ip link set up/down was gated behind a
bond/vlan/no-ifconfig check but ip addr add runs unconditionally - so
interfaces got an IP but stayed DOWN. Dropped the unnecessary guard.
ⓘ Create and detect VLAN devices before applying live configuration, parse live VLANs with their physical parent instead of a virtual alias, normalize persisted dotted VLAN names when the parent device exists, consistently target the real VLAN device across the ip, ifup and vconfig paths, skip recreating existing devices or activating absent disabled ones, and add regression coverage.

ⓘ Create and configure missing bond devices with ip link, attach partner interfaces before assigning addresses, avoid legacy module auto-creation when ip is available, and add regression coverage.

- When the system hostname domain changes, update `localhost.<old-domain>` in Postfix `mydestination` to `localhost.<new-domain>`.
- This sits alongside the existing hostname/FQDN updates for Postfix destinations.
Previous behavior:
`save_dns.cgi` only updated Postfix `mydestination` entries that exactly matched:
- the old short hostname, like `host`
- the old FQDN, like `host.old-domain.test`
It did **not** update:
- `localhost.old-domain.test`
So if you changed:
```text
host.old-domain.test
```
to:
```text
host.new-domain.test
```
Postfix could become:
```text
mydestination = host.new-domain.test, host, localhost.old-domain.test
```
After this hunk, it also updates that localhost domain entry:
```text
localhost.old-domain.test
```
to:
```text
localhost.new-domain.test
```
- Preserve existing spacing and inline comments when rewriting `/etc/nsswitch.conf` `hosts:` lines.
- Preserve indentation, comment prefix, inline comments, and field separators when rewriting `/etc/hosts` rows.
- Add tests for the `nsswitch.conf` spacing/comment behavior.
ⓘ Treat Linux active virtual interfaces as secondary IP addresses instead of independent links, fixing alias parsing, hiding invalid status controls, rejecting down-state creation, and removing existing aliases with ip addr del when needed.
Reproduce path:
Example repro before this fix:
1. Go to **Network Configuration → Network Interfaces → Active Now**.
2. Click **Add a new interface**.
3. Enter:
```text
Name: enp0s5:1
IPv4 address: 10.211.55.21
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Status: Down
```
4. Click **Create**.
Before the fix, Webmin could still create the alias or handle it inconsistently, because `enp0s5:1` is not a real link that can be “down”. It is just an extra IP address on `enp0s5`.
Expected after the fix:
- The UI should not offer `Status` for active virtual aliases.
- If someone submits `up=0` manually anyway, Webmin rejects it with:
`Virtual interfaces cannot be created with down status`
- If an existing active virtual alias is saved as down through lower-level code, Webmin removes the IP using something like:
```bash
ip addr del 10.211.55.21/24 dev enp0s5
```
This PR adds dhcpcd backend support for Debian and Raspberry Pi OS network configuration. It detects dhcpcd only as a final fallback after Netplan, NetworkManager, and ifupdown, preventing Webmin from incorrectly falling back to `/etc/network/interfaces` on dhcpcd-managed systems.
The new backend reads and writes `/etc/dhcpcd.conf`, including DHCP and static IPv4/IPv6 configuration, gateways, static routes, DNS servers, search domains, MTU, and virtual IPv4 aliases. It also supports implicit DHCP-managed interfaces for default dhcpcd setups with no explicit interface blocks, and handles `allowinterfaces` / `denyinterfaces` behavior.
This PR also fixes apply/delete flows for dhcpcd-managed interfaces and virtual aliases, avoids rewriting generated `/etc/resolv.conf`, preserves spacing/comments in touched hosts and nsswitch files, and tightens Active Now handling so virtual aliases are treated as IP addresses rather than independent links.

This PR adds baseline Alpine Linux support in Webmin with OS detection, APK package and update backend, OpenRC boot integration, ifupdown-style networking support and DHCPD defaults.

ⓘ Prefer Netplan when Debian has Netplan YAML config, otherwise select the existing NetworkManager backend for Debian systems with saved NM connection profiles, with regression tests for backend selection.
https://github.com/webmin/webmin/issues/2559
* Note: Preserve existing Netplan indentation when updating DNS settings, validate with netplan generate before applying, and surface apply errors to avoid network loss from malformed YAML.
