LumenVM v2.6

Small birthday update.

It mainly provides quality improvements, and customisation options for admins like:

• Overwrite IP
• Overwrite Host (shown in for ex. neofetches)
• Overwrite Banner

These updates aren't really new, but they were never released to the public.

* VNC will now use the defined password.

* Added windows-2022-desktop, user "Administrator" and default password "lumenvm"

* Added Alma and Rocky Linux.

* Fixed & modified OVMF to include a custom logo.

* Error handling, LumenVM will detect some misconfigurations and report them to the end user.

* Added host set as LumenVM.

* Dedicated IPV4 variable/command.

* Added NoVNC as display mode.

* LumenVM will use the actual allocated CPU in the VM.

• Added Kali, Debian 12 Desktop, Ubuntu 24 Desktop, Windows 7 and 10 Desktop
• Added rdp to display modes, forwards the default pterodactyl port to 3389, works out of the box for Windows 7/10, for linux distros, you need to install an rdp server by yourself.
• Added a new port forwarding logic, you can add ports separated by a comma and a space, and you can use the (hostport)-(guestport) format too.
