Removed CSS truncate from key identifier columns (container names, service names,
guest names, host names, image names) that were making data inaccessible on mobile/
touch devices where title tooltips don't work.
Users can now read full identifiers via horizontal scroll (already implemented via
ScrollableTable component). Data should always be readable without requiring additional
UI affordances.
Changed files:
- DockerUnifiedTable: Remove truncate from container/service names and images
- GuestRow: Remove truncate from guest names
- HostsOverview: Remove truncate from host display names and hostnames
Column resizing remains on backlog as optional enhancement; users should not need
a drag handle just to read the contents.
Resolves#641
## Problem
When a VM migrates between Proxmox nodes, Pulse was treating it as a new
resource and discarding custom alert threshold overrides. This occurred
because guest IDs included the node name (e.g., `instance-node-VMID`),
causing the ID to change when the VM moved to a different node.
Users reported that after migrating a VM, previously disabled alerts
(e.g., memory threshold set to 0) would resume firing.
## Root Cause
Guest IDs were constructed as:
- Standalone: `node-VMID`
- Cluster: `instance-node-VMID`
When a VM migrated from node1 to node2, the ID changed from
`instance-node1-100` to `instance-node2-100`, causing:
- Alert threshold overrides to be orphaned (keyed by old ID)
- Guest metadata (custom URLs, descriptions) to be orphaned
- Active alerts to reference the wrong resource ID
## Solution
Changed guest ID format to be stable across node migrations:
- New format: `instance-VMID` (for both standalone and cluster)
- Retains uniqueness across instances while being node-independent
- Allows VMs to migrate freely without losing configuration
## Implementation
### Backend Changes
1. **Guest ID Construction** (`monitor_polling.go`):
- Simplified to always use `instance-VMID` format
- Removed node from the ID construction logic
2. **Alert Override Migration** (`alerts.go`):
- Added lazy migration in `getGuestThresholds()`
- Detects legacy ID formats and migrates to new format
- Preserves user configurations automatically
3. **Guest Metadata Migration** (`guest_metadata.go`):
- Added `GetWithLegacyMigration()` helper method
- Called during VM/container polling to migrate metadata
- Preserves custom URLs and descriptions
4. **Active Alerts Migration** (`alerts.go`):
- Added migration logic in `LoadActiveAlerts()`
- Translates legacy alert resource IDs to new format
- Preserves alert acknowledgments across restarts
### Frontend Changes
5. **ID Construction Updates**:
- `ThresholdsTable.tsx`: Updated fallback from `instance-node-vmid` to `instance-vmid`
- `Dashboard.tsx`: Simplified guest ID construction
- `GuestRow.tsx`: Updated `buildGuestId()` helper
## Migration Strategy
- **Lazy Migration**: Configs are migrated as guests are discovered
- **Backwards Compatible**: Old IDs are detected and automatically converted
- **Zero Downtime**: No manual intervention required
- **Persisted**: Migrated configs are saved on next config write cycle
## Testing Recommendations
After deployment:
1. Verify existing alert overrides still apply
2. Test VM migration - confirm thresholds persist
3. Check guest metadata (custom URLs) survive migration
4. Verify active alerts maintain acknowledgment state
## Related
- Addresses similar issues with guest metadata and active alert tracking
- Lays groundwork for any future guest-specific configuration features
- Aligns with project philosophy: correctness and UX over implementation complexity

- Add GPU field to Temperature model with edge, junction, and mem sensors
- Add amdgpu chip recognition to temperature parser
- Implement parseGPUTemps() to extract AMD GPU temperature data
- Update frontend TypeScript types to include GPU temperatures
- Display GPU temps in node table tooltip alongside CPU temps
- Set hasGPU flag when GPU data is available
This enables temperature monitoring for AMD GPUs (amdgpu sensors)
that was previously being collected via SSH but silently discarded
during parsing.
This implements the ability for users to assign custom display names to Docker hosts,
similar to the existing functionality for Proxmox nodes. This addresses the issue where
multiple Docker hosts with identical hostnames but different IPs/domains cannot be
easily distinguished in the UI.
Backend changes:
- Add CustomDisplayName field to DockerHost model (internal/models/models.go:201)
- Update UpsertDockerHost to preserve custom display names across updates (internal/models/models.go:1110-1113)
- Add SetDockerHostCustomDisplayName method to State for updating names (internal/models/models.go:1221-1235)
- Add SetDockerHostCustomDisplayName method to Monitor (internal/monitoring/monitor.go:1070-1088)
- Add HandleSetCustomDisplayName API handler (internal/api/docker_agents.go:385-426)
- Route /api/agents/docker/hosts/{id}/display-name PUT requests (internal/api/docker_agents.go:117-120)
Frontend changes:
- Add customDisplayName field to DockerHost TypeScript interface (frontend-modern/src/types/api.ts:136)
- Add MonitoringAPI.setDockerHostDisplayName method (frontend-modern/src/api/monitoring.ts:151-187)
- Update getDisplayName function to prioritize custom names (frontend-modern/src/components/Settings/DockerAgents.tsx:84-89)
- Add inline editing UI with save/cancel buttons in Docker Agents settings (frontend-modern/src/components/Settings/DockerAgents.tsx:1349-1413)
- Update sorting to use custom display names (frontend-modern/src/components/Docker/DockerHosts.tsx:58-59)
- Update DockerHostSummaryTable to display custom names (frontend-modern/src/components/Docker/DockerHostSummaryTable.tsx:40-42, 87, 120, 254)
Users can now click the edit icon next to any Docker host name in Settings > Docker Agents
to set a custom display name. The custom name will be preserved across agent reconnections
and takes priority over the hostname reported by the agent.

When authentication is not configured (hasAuth() returns false), the
Settings tab is now automatically hidden from the web interface. This
provides a cleaner monitoring-only view for unauthenticated deployments
where users only need to check the health of their environment.
The Settings icon beside the Alerts tab will only appear when
authentication is properly configured via PULSE_AUTH_USER/PASS,
API tokens, proxy auth, or OIDC.
Changes:
- Modified utilityTabs in App.tsx to conditionally include Settings
based on hasAuth() signal
- Updated CONFIGURATION.md to document this UI behavior
Addresses issue #567 where selecting "Custom interval..." from the
backup polling dropdown would revert to a preset option if the current
custom minutes value happened to match a predefined interval.
The bug occurred because:
1. User selects "Custom interval..." from dropdown
2. Code sets interval based on current customMinutes value
3. If that value matches a preset (e.g., 60 min = 1 hour), the
computed select value returns the preset instead of 'custom'
4. Dropdown reverts, hiding the custom input field
Fix introduces a dedicated state variable (backupPollingUseCustom)
to explicitly track whether custom mode is active, independent of
whether the current interval value matches a preset option.
Changes:
- Add backupPollingUseCustom signal to track custom mode state
- Update backupIntervalSelectValue() to check custom flag first
- Set/clear custom flag in dropdown onChange handler
- Initialize custom flag when loading settings from API

This change adds support for custom SSH ports when collecting temperature
data from Proxmox nodes, resolving issues for users who run SSH on non-standard
ports.
**Why SSH is still needed:**
Temperature monitoring requires reading /sys/class/hwmon sensors on Proxmox
nodes, which is not exposed via the Proxmox API. Even when using API tokens
for authentication, Pulse needs SSH access to collect temperature data.
**Changes:**
- Add `sshPort` configuration to SystemSettings (system.json)
- Add `SSHPort` field to Config with environment variable support (SSH_PORT)
- Add per-node SSH port override capability for PVE, PBS, and PMG instances
- Update TemperatureCollector to accept and use custom SSH port
- Update SSH known_hosts manager to support non-standard ports
- Add NewTemperatureCollectorWithPort() constructor with port parameter
- Maintain backward compatibility with NewTemperatureCollector() (uses port 22)
- Update frontend TypeScript types for SSH port configuration
**Configuration methods:**
1. Environment variable: SSH_PORT=2222
2. system.json: {"sshPort": 2222}
3. Per-node override in nodes.enc (future UI support)
**Default behavior:**
- Defaults to port 22 if not configured
- Maintains full backward compatibility
- No changes required for existing deployments
The implementation includes proper ssh-keyscan port handling and known_hosts
management for non-standard ports using [host]:port notation per SSH standards.
Added explicit onKeyDown handler to stop event propagation when Enter
is pressed in the ignored container prefixes textarea. This ensures
newlines can be properly entered to separate multiple prefixes.

When authentication expires after some time, users see "Connection lost"
and must refresh the page to see "Authentication required". This commit
implements automatic redirect to login when authentication expires.
Changes:
- Add authentication check to WebSocket endpoint to prevent unauthenticated
WebSocket connections
- Handle WebSocket close with code 1008 (policy violation) as auth failure
and redirect to login
- Intercept 401 responses on API calls (except initial auth checks) and
automatically redirect to login page
- Clear stored credentials and set logout flag before redirect to ensure
clean login flow
This provides a better user experience by immediately redirecting to the
login page when the session expires, rather than showing a confusing
"Connection lost" message that requires manual page refresh.
Improves user experience when physical disks don't appear by providing
clear, context-aware instructions. The empty state now shows:
- When no PVE nodes are configured: prompt to add nodes
- When nodes exist but no disks appear: step-by-step requirements
including enabling SMART monitoring in both Pulse and Proxmox
This addresses confusion from issue #594 where users didn't realize
they needed to enable SMART monitoring in Proxmox itself (not just
in Pulse settings) and wait 5 minutes for data collection.

Add optional GuestURL field to PVE instances and cluster endpoints,
allowing users to specify a separate guest-accessible URL for web UI
navigation that differs from the internal management URL.
Backend changes:
- Add GuestURL field to PVEInstance and ClusterEndpoint structs
- Add GuestURL field to Node model
- Update cluster auto-discovery to preserve existing GuestURL values
- Update node creation logic to populate GuestURL from config
- Update API handlers to accept and persist GuestURL field
Frontend changes:
- Add GuestURL input field to NodeModal for configuration
- Update NodeGroupHeader and NodeSummaryTable to use GuestURL for navigation
- Add GuestURL to Node and PVENodeConfig TypeScript interfaces
When GuestURL is configured, it will be used for navigation links
instead of the Host URL, allowing users to access PVE hosts through
a reverse proxy or different domain while maintaining internal API
connections.
Related to #551
Enhanced the PMG connection test to actually validate the metrics
endpoints that Pulse uses for monitoring, rather than only checking
the version endpoint. This provides users with immediate feedback if
their PMG credentials lack the necessary permissions to collect metrics.
Backend changes:
- Test mail statistics, cluster status, and quarantine endpoints during
connection test (internal/api/config_handlers.go:1695-1714)
- Return warnings array in test response when endpoints are unavailable
- Increased timeout from 10s to 15s to accommodate multiple endpoint checks
- Added warning logs for failed endpoint checks
Frontend changes:
- Added showWarning() toast function for warning messages
- Enhanced NodeModal to display warning status with amber styling
- Added warnings list display in test results UI
- Updated Settings.tsx to show warnings from connection tests
This change helps users identify permission issues immediately rather
than discovering later that metrics aren't being collected despite a
"successful" connection.
- Build host agent binaries for all platforms (linux/darwin/windows, amd64/arm64/armv7) in Docker
- Add Makefile target for building agent binaries locally
- Add startup validation to check for missing agent binaries
- Improve download endpoint error messages with troubleshooting guidance
- Enhance host details drawer layout with better organization and visual hierarchy
- Update base images to rolling versions (node:20-alpine, golang:1.24-alpine, alpine:3.20)
- Add flex-1 to all drawer cards for consistent space filling
- Implement single-drawer-open behavior (accordion-style)
- Add text truncation to labels and IP badges to prevent overflow
- Replace Map-based state with reactive signals for better performance
This commit implements per-node temperature monitoring control and fixes a critical
bug where partial node updates were destroying existing configuration.
Backend changes:
- Add TemperatureMonitoringEnabled field (*bool) to PVEInstance, PBSInstance, and PMGInstance
- Update monitor.go to check per-node temperature setting with global fallback
- Convert all NodeConfigRequest boolean fields to *bool pointers
- Add nil checks in HandleUpdateNode to prevent overwriting unmodified fields
- Fix critical bug where partial updates zeroed out MonitorVMs, MonitorContainers, etc.
- Update NodeResponse, NodeFrontend, and StateSnapshot to include temperature setting
- Fix HandleAddNode and test connection handlers to use pointer-based boolean fields
Frontend changes:
- Add temperatureMonitoringEnabled to Node interface and config types
- Create per-node temperature monitoring toggle handler with optimistic updates
- Update NodeModal to wire up per-node temperature toggle
- Add isTemperatureMonitoringEnabled helper to check effective monitoring state
- Update ConfiguredNodeTables to show/hide temperature badge based on monitoring state
- Update NodeSummaryTable to conditionally show temperature column
- Pass globalTemperatureMonitoringEnabled prop through component tree
The critical bug fix ensures that when updating a single field (like temperature
monitoring), the backend only modifies that specific field instead of zeroing out
all other boolean configuration fields.
- Add Access-Control-Expose-Headers to allow frontend to read X-CSRF-Token response header
- Implement proactive CSRF token issuance on GET requests when session exists but CSRF cookie is missing
- Ensures frontend always has valid CSRF token before making POST requests
- Fixes 403 Forbidden errors when toggling system settings
This resolves CSRF validation failures that occurred when CSRF tokens expired or were missing while valid sessions existed.
Extends the Docker monitoring and alerting system to track writable layer
usage as a percentage of the container's root filesystem. This helps
identify containers with bloated copy-on-write layers before they
consume excessive disk space.
- Add disk threshold to DockerThresholdConfig (default: 85% trigger, 80% clear)
- Evaluate disk alerts for running containers when RootFilesystemBytes > 0
- Include disk metadata (writable layer, total filesystem, block I/O stats)
- Update frontend to display and configure disk thresholds
- Add test coverage for disk usage alert hysteresis
- Document disk monitoring in DOCKER_MONITORING.md
Per-container and per-host overrides apply to disk thresholds the same
way they do for CPU and memory.
This commit addresses multiple issues in the Docker/host agent removal flow:
Agent Stop Fix:
- Add systemctl stop command after agent acknowledgement to prevent systemd restart
- Previous behavior: agent disabled but systemd immediately restarted it (Restart=always)
- New behavior: agent disables itself, sends ack, then stops systemd service completely
UX Improvements:
- Add real-time elapsed time counter during removal wait
- Show progress indicators prominently (no longer hidden in dropdown)
- Display expected time range (30-60 seconds) and last heartbeat
- Auto-show timeout warning after 2 minutes with actionable "Force remove" button
- Add contextual help explaining what's happening at each stage
Security Enhancement:
- Automatically revoke API tokens when removing Docker/host agents
- Previous behavior: tokens remained valid after agent removal
- New behavior: tokens are revoked and persisted immediately on removal
- Prevents removed agents from re-authenticating with old credentials
Extends Docker container monitoring with comprehensive disk and storage information:
- Writable layer size and root filesystem usage displayed in new Disk column
- Block I/O statistics (read/write bytes totals) shown in container drawer
- Mount metadata including type, source, destination, mode, and driver details
- Configurable via --collect-disk flag (enabled by default, can be disabled for large fleets)
Also fixes config watcher to consistently use production auth config path instead of following PULSE_DATA_DIR when in mock mode.
Optimistically update local and parent state before the API call completes, so the external link icon appears instantly when the user saves a URL. If the API fails, the state reverts automatically.
Before: Link icon appeared after API response (~100-500ms delay)
After: Link icon appears immediately with smooth fade-in animation
Implements clickable name field with inline URL editor for Docker resources, matching the Proxmox guest URL feature:
- Create DockerMetadataAPI for storing custom URLs
- Add metadata loading and caching in DockerHosts component
- Add URL editing UI to DockerContainerRow and DockerServiceRow
- Global editing state prevents multiple simultaneous edits
- Shows external link icon when URL is set
- Supports Enter to save, Escape to cancel
- Toast notifications for save/delete operations
- Stores metadata with format: {hostId}:container:{containerId}
Allows users to add quick links to container/service dashboards (e.g., Portainer, Traefik, internal UIs).
Change vertical padding from py-1 to py-0.5 on all data cells to match Proxmox guest table row heights for visual consistency across both monitoring interfaces.
Remove redundant colored status dots from Docker container and service rows to align with Proxmox guest table design. Status is already clearly indicated by the Status column badge.
Match Proxmox behavior by dimming stopped containers and degraded services with opacity-60, and showing dashes for metrics (CPU, memory, uptime, restarts) when containers are not running.
The Type column was too narrow at 8%, causing Service and Container badges to be truncated. Increased to 11% and redistributed space from other columns to maintain 100% total width.
This commit adds comprehensive token revocation tracking across the UI and enhances the agent installation script for better platform support.
Key changes:
- Added token revocation warnings in Docker hosts and host agents UI with amber-colored indicators
- Implemented automatic token revocation detection when tokens are deleted
- Enhanced install scripts with Unraid detection and manual start instructions for non-systemd platforms
- Improved service management with restart instead of start for systemd
- Added visual indicators for revoked tokens with contextual warnings
- Updated table column widths in hosts overview for better layout
Simplifies the onboarding flow by removing verbose instructions and toggles, consolidating navigation elements, and cleaning up the settings interface. Improves the macOS host agent installer with better Keychain access control and launchd service management.
Replace rounded pill badges with cleaner text and chip styles:
- Remove pill backgrounds from token/user authentication badges in node tables
- Simplify cluster node count from pill to plain text
- Change mobile navigation from pill bubbles to underlined tabs
- Convert subnet selection from rounded-full pills to squared chips
Reduces visual clutter and provides a more modern, minimal interface.
Ensure consistent icon usage between top navigation tabs and settings sidebar:
- Proxmox: Use ProxmoxIcon in both locations
- Docker: Use DockerIcon (Simple Icons whale logo) in both locations
- Hosts: Simplify HostsIcon to use lucide Monitor icon everywhere
This improves visual consistency and reduces confusion between navigation contexts.
PROPERLY fix the Docker icon in the main left sidebar navigation by updating the DockerIcon component to use lucide's Container icon instead of Simple Icons Docker logo.
Also revert incorrect changes that added Docker to the Proxmox sub-navigation tabs - Docker should not be in the Proxmox settings sub-menu.
Replace DockerIcon (Simple Icons) with lucide-solid's Container icon to maintain consistency with other navigation icons (Server, HardDrive, Mail). All icons now use the same stroke-based style and rendering pattern.
The SettingsSectionNav was only visible on the Proxmox tab. Now it also shows on the Docker settings page (/settings/docker), displaying all four tabs: Virtual Environment, Backup Server, Mail Gateway, and Docker.
When on the Docker tab, the navigation correctly highlights Docker as active.
Add Docker tab to the settings section navigation using the same DockerIcon component used in the main navigation. The icon is rendered at w-4 h-4 to match the visual weight of the lucide icons at size 16.
Now the settings navigation shows: Virtual Environment, Backup Server, Mail Gateway, and Docker.
Change from 'terminal-square' to 'square-terminal' - the actual filename in lucide-solid. The icon name convention is square-terminal not terminal-square.
Switch from penguin attempts to lucide-solid's TerminalSquare icon, which represents Linux/CLI effectively and matches the stroke-based style of the existing lucide icons. This provides:
- Clean geometry at 20x20
- Instant recognition (Linux = CLI/terminal)
- Consistent stroke weight with other lucide icons
- Better visual balance with Apple and Windows logos
Codex recommendation after multiple penguin icon failures.
Replace detailed Tux SVG with a simplified stroke-based penguin head that renders cleanly at 20x20. The new icon uses strokes instead of fills (matching lucide's style) and was specifically designed by Codex for small-size rendering.
The simplified design includes just the essential features (head outline, eyes, beak, belly) and uses currentColor to inherit the chip's color state.
Replace Monitor icon with the classic Tux penguin SVG from Simple Icons. Now all three platforms use their recognizable brand icons:
- Linux: Tux the penguin
- macOS: Apple logo
- Windows: Windows logo
All icons are from FOSS sources (Simple Icons, CC0 license).
Keep the original Apple and Windows logo SVGs which were perfect, only replace the weird-looking Linux penguin with lucide Monitor icon. Mixed approach uses lucide Monitor component for Linux and SVG elements for macOS/Windows.
Replace custom SVG icons with proper icons from lucide-solid library:
- Linux: Monitor icon
- macOS: Laptop icon
- Windows: Computer icon
These are FOSS icons from the lucide project, properly imported from the existing icon library rather than hand-coded SVG paths.
Add FOSS icons (Tux penguin for Linux, Apple for macOS, Windows logo) to platform selection buttons. Icons are displayed in colored boxes matching the active/inactive state, providing better visual identification of each OS platform.
Icons sourced from Simple Icons (CC0 license).
Remove duplicate "Host Monitoring" SectionHeader since the page already has a descriptive header at the top. Also clean up unused cardTitle() and cardDescription() functions.
Remove bloated multi-step wizard pattern and localStorage token storage in favor of a clean inline flow:
- Remove token generation modal and multi-step confirmation UI
- Remove localStorage persistence (useScopedTokenManager hook)
- Remove showTokenReveal popup - token goes directly into command
- Remove summary stat cards and redundant info cards
- Add simple inline input for optional token naming
- Token generation now instantly inserts into install command
The new flow: enter optional name → generate → copy command. No modals, no stored tokens, no extra steps.
- Hide Docker host sidebar when only 1 host is configured to save horizontal space
- Add keyboard auto-focus for search fields - typing anywhere on the page automatically focuses search
- Add ESC key support to clear search and unfocus input
- Fix vertical alignment of "+" icon in Docker Add Host button
The external guest link icon was fading in/out on every WebSocket update,
creating a distracting visual effect. Now the fade-in animation only plays
when the URL first becomes available (initial load or when saving a new URL),
rather than re-triggering on every state update.
- Add fadeIn keyframe animation to Tailwind config
- Track animation state with shouldAnimateIcon signal
- Only animate on transition from no URL to having a URL
- Clear animation flag after 200ms to prevent re-triggering
Replace the misleading "Step 1/Step 2" wizard pattern with a cleaner
dashboard-style layout. This better reflects the actual user flow of
selecting and configuring integrations.
Changes:
- Remove AgentStepSection wrapper and numbered badges
- Replace with standard SectionHeader for consistent typography
- Wrap PVE/PBS/PMG tables in Card components for better visual hierarchy
- Group action buttons (Discovery, Refresh, Add Node) in card headers
- Enhance empty states with icons and better messaging
- Fix spacing between integration selector and configuration sections
- Remove unused AgentStepSection import
All agent types (PVE, PBS, PMG, Docker, Host) now have consistent
presentation and improved visual clarity.
Changed MetricBar type prop from conditional (value > 80 ? 'danger' : 'primary')
to semantic types ('cpu', 'memory', 'disk') for better maintainability and
consistency with the component's design system.
This allows MetricBar to handle threshold logic internally based on metric
type, rather than duplicating threshold conditions at each call site.
The checksum URL was incorrectly constructed by appending .sha256
to the entire download URL including query parameters, resulting in:
/download/pulse-host-agent?platform=linux&arch=amd64.sha256
This caused .sha256 to be part of the arch parameter, which prevented
the checksum endpoint from being reached correctly.
Fixed to construct checksum URL with .sha256 as part of the path:
/download/pulse-host-agent.sha256?platform=linux&arch=amd64
Tested on Proxmox VE host (delly):
- Installation: ✓ Binary downloaded and installed successfully
- Service: ✓ systemd service created, enabled, and started
- Validation: ✓ Service running and attempting to report
- Logs: ✓ JSON logs writing to /var/log/pulse/host-agent.log
- Uninstallation: ✓ Complete cleanup (binary, service, logs)
- Colors: ✓ ANSI colored output working properly
Note: Checksum validation gracefully handled when endpoint
unavailable (server doesn't provide checksums yet)
API Enhancements:
- Add SHA256 checksum endpoint for binary downloads
- Computes checksum on-the-fly when .sha256 suffix is requested
- Example: /download/pulse-host-agent?platform=linux&arch=amd64.sha256
- Enables installer scripts to verify binary integrity
- Add /uninstall-host-agent.sh endpoint for Linux/macOS uninstall script
- Add endpoint to public paths (no auth required)
Checksum Implementation:
- New serveChecksum() function computes SHA256 hash using crypto/sha256
- Returns plain text checksum in hex format
- Supports all binary download endpoints
- Zero performance impact (only computed when requested)
Install Script Updates:
- Add --force/-f flag to skip all interactive prompts
- URL/token prompts skipped with --force
- Reinstall confirmation skipped with --force
- Checksum mismatch still aborts (security first)
- Force mode auto-accepts updates and reinstalls
- Usage: ./install-host-agent.sh --url $URL --token $TOKEN --force
Security Notes:
- Checksum verification protects against:
- Corrupted downloads due to network issues
- Man-in-the-middle binary tampering
- Storage corruption on server
- Force mode maintains security by aborting on checksum mismatch
- No bypass for security-critical validations
These improvements enable:
- Automated deployments (--force flag)
- Binary integrity verification (checksums)
- Better security posture (tamper detection)
- Standardized uninstall process (endpoint)
The /api/version endpoint already exists and returns version info
for update checks (no changes needed).
Major improvements to the host agent installation experience:
Installation Enhancements:
- Add interactive mode with prompts for URL/token if not provided
- Add colored output with ANSI codes (✓ ℹ ⚠ ✗) matching Windows style
- Add professional header/footer with bordered sections
- Display masked configuration before installation
- Add version detection and update notifications
- Add reinstall confirmation for existing installations
Security Improvements:
- Store tokens in macOS Keychain instead of plaintext plist
- Create wrapper script to read token from Keychain at runtime
- Add SHA256 checksum verification for downloaded binaries
- Set restrictive permissions (chmod 600) on service configs
- Graceful fallback if Keychain access denied
Validation & Verification:
- Wait 10 seconds and verify service is running
- Query /api/hosts endpoint to confirm agent registered
- Verify hostname appears in Pulse server
- Provide detailed troubleshooting if validation fails
Error Handling:
- Comprehensive error messages with actionable guidance
- Platform-specific install instructions for missing dependencies
- 4-step troubleshooting guide for download failures
- Build-from-source fallback instructions
- Service failure diagnostics with log viewing commands
Logging Improvements:
- Use persistent log directories (no more /tmp)
- macOS: ~/Library/Logs/Pulse/host-agent.log
- Linux: /var/log/pulse/host-agent.log
- Automatically create log directories
Post-Install:
- Display service management commands (start/stop/restart/logs)
- Show installed file locations
- Provide uninstall instructions
- Link to Pulse dashboard
Uninstall Script:
- New dedicated uninstall script with colored output
- Comprehensive cleanup (service, binary, logs, Keychain)
- Platform detection and appropriate cleanup steps
- Remove macOS Keychain entries and wrapper scripts
- Remove temporary logs from old /tmp location
- Retry logic for file locking issues
Progress Indicators:
- Better download progress with curl --progress-bar
- Clear status messages for each installation step
- Visual feedback throughout installation
These changes bring the macOS/Linux installation experience to parity
with Windows and add several features that exceed Windows quality:
- API endpoint verification (Windows doesn't have)
- Checksum verification (Windows doesn't have)
- macOS Keychain integration (more secure than Windows config)
- Update detection (Windows doesn't have)
Windows Host Agent Enhancements:
- Implement native Windows service support using golang.org/x/sys/windows/svc
- Add Windows Event Log integration for troubleshooting
- Create professional PowerShell installation/uninstallation scripts
- Add process termination and retry logic to handle Windows file locking
- Register uninstall endpoint at /uninstall-host-agent.ps1
Host Agent UI Improvements:
- Add expandable drawer to Hosts page (click row to view details)
- Display system info, network interfaces, disks, and temperatures in cards
- Replace status badges with subtle colored indicators
- Remove redundant master-detail sidebar layout
- Add search filtering for hosts
Technical Details:
- service_windows.go: Windows service lifecycle management with graceful shutdown
- service_stub.go: Cross-platform compatibility for non-Windows builds
- install-host-agent.ps1: Full Windows installation with validation
- uninstall-host-agent.ps1: Clean removal with process termination and retries
- HostsOverview.tsx: Expandable row pattern matching Docker/Proxmox pages
Files Added:
- cmd/pulse-host-agent/service_windows.go
- cmd/pulse-host-agent/service_stub.go
- scripts/install-host-agent.ps1
- scripts/uninstall-host-agent.ps1
- frontend-modern/src/components/Hosts/HostsOverview.tsx
- frontend-modern/src/components/Hosts/HostsFilter.tsx
The Windows service now starts reliably with automatic restart on failure,
and the uninstall script handles file locking gracefully without requiring reboots.
- Add double-checks in global click handlers to prevent race conditions
- Add isCurrentlyMounted flag to prevent cleanup during re-renders
- Remove onBlur handler that was causing premature editor closure
- Simplify conditional logic in click handlers
These changes improve the robustness of the inline editor when
websocket updates occur during editing sessions.
The AnimatedMetric wrapper was causing distracting slide-up/slide-down
animations on every websocket update. While visually interesting, the
high-frequency updates made the dashboard feel too busy. Replaced with
direct value display while maintaining color-coded speed indicators.
Critical fixes to prevent the inline URL editor from closing during API updates:
1. Implement stable guest store with reconcile:
- Use createStore with reconcile() to maintain stable object references
- Key function ensures each guest keeps same proxy instance across updates
- Prevents <For> loop from remounting rows during websocket updates
2. Allow switching between guest editors:
- Mark guest name spans with data-guest-name-editable attribute
- Click handler allows clicking another guest name to switch editors
- Prevents click consumption when opening a different guest's editor
This ensures the inline editor stays open and preserves user input even when
websocket updates arrive, while still allowing seamless switching between
editing different guests.
Redesigned guest URL management from a bulky settings table to streamlined
inline editing directly on the dashboard:
Features:
- Single-click guest name to edit custom URL
- Text cursor indicates editability
- Inline editor with save (✓) and delete (✕) buttons
- Auto-focus and text selection on edit start
- Tag badges hidden during editing to maximize input space
- Click-away closes editor without activating underlying elements
Technical improvements:
- Global editing state prevents multiple simultaneous edits
- Smart click capture intercepts mousedown/click events when editor is open
- Prevents accidental row expansion or other actions during editing
- Delete button (✕) removes URL and icon entirely
- Escape key closes without saving
- Enter key saves and closes
Restructure the API token management interface with a focus on
information density and modern design patterns:
- Replace large card layouts with compact table view for token list
- Add visual statistics cards for total, scoped, and wildcard tokens
- Implement toggle button controls instead of checkboxes for scope selection
- Streamline token creation form with collapsible custom scopes
- Improve visual hierarchy with SectionHeader and ApiIcon components
- Add gradient backgrounds and refined spacing throughout
- Maintain accessibility while reducing overall page footprint
The new design presents all critical information at a glance while
preserving functionality and reducing visual clutter.
Adds polished gradient banner headers to all configuration pages:
- System > General, Network, Updates, Backups
- Security > Authentication (updated from gray to blue/indigo gradient)
- API Access
Resource management pages (PVE, PBS, Docker, etc.) intentionally left
without banners to keep focus on node tables and operational content.
Introduces granular permission scopes for API tokens (docker:report, docker:manage, host-agent:report, monitoring:read/write, settings:read/write) allowing tokens to be restricted to minimum required access. Legacy tokens default to full access until scopes are explicitly configured.
Adds standalone host agent for monitoring Linux, macOS, and Windows servers outside Proxmox/Docker estates. New Servers workspace in UI displays uptime, OS metadata, and capacity metrics from enrolled agents.
Includes comprehensive token management UI overhaul with scope presets, inline editing, and visual scope indicators.
