What's Changed
New Features
  • Podman/Docker runtime selection: Added --docker-runtime flag and PULSE_DOCKER_RUNTIME env var to explicitly select container runtime (auto/docker/podman). Fixes detection on CoreOS and similar systems where Docker CLI is a Podman wrapper. (#​958)
  • Disable Docker update checks: New --disable-update-checks flag and PULSE_DISABLE_UPDATE_CHECKS env var to skip registry queries for container updates
  • SMART disk exclusion: PULSE_DISK_EXCLUDE now applies to SMART temperature monitoring, not just disk metrics (#​983)
Bug Fixes
  • Container updates now show progress: Fixed "Invalid command status" errors during container updates. The server now properly recognizes in_progress status from agents (#​988)
  • Replication status: Now fetches status (last_sync, next_sync, duration, fail_count) from per-node endpoint instead of relying on incomplete cluster endpoint data (#​992)
  • Temperature threshold colors: Temperature text now respects your configured thresholds from Alert Settings instead of hardcoded values (#​984)
  • Unified agent ID consistency: Docker module now uses the same agent ID as the host module, preventing "token already in use" errors
  • SELinux compatibility: Added context restoration for Fedora/RHEL systems (#​996)
  • Smaller Docker image: Reduced image size by avoiding duplicate binary copies
  • Alert acknowledgement persistence: Fixed issue where long-standing alert acknowledgements could be lost during backup operations
