MeshCentral on Ubuntu 24.04

## MeshCentral on Ubuntu 24.04 by cloudimg

MeshCentral is an open source, self hosted remote monitoring and management platform. Install the lightweight MeshCentral agent on your Windows, Linux and macOS devices and then remote control the desktop, transfer files, open a remote terminal, and monitor and patch those devices from a single web console, all from your own server with no third party cloud in the middle. The cloudimg image installs Node.js LTS, npm installs the pinned MeshCentral release natively, binds it to loopback and fronts it with nginx, which terminates TLS on port 443 (self signed, regenerated per VM) with WebSocket support while port 80 serves an unauthenticated health endpoint and redirects to HTTPS, and keeps the embedded NeDB database, configuration and TLS certificates on a dedicated data disk.
