PegaProx/project-pegaprox v0.9.0

v0.9.0 – Architecture Overhaul, ESXi Migration & Enterprise Security

on GitHub

🏗️ Architecture Overhaul

This is a major release – PegaProx has been completely restructured from a single 42,000-line monolith into a clean, modular Python package.

• Code Split – pegaprox/ package with 8-layer architecture (constants → models → core → utils → api → background → app)
• Frontend Split – Source files in web/src/*.js with dedicated build system
• Archive-Based Updates – Automatic updates via GitHub archive download (no manual release files needed)
• Production Dockerfile – python:3.12-slim, non-root user, healthcheck, persistent volumes

🔀 ESXi Migration

• ESXi Import Wizard – Migrate VMs from ESXi hosts directly to Proxmox
• Near-Zero Downtime – Transfer running VMs with minimal interruption (recommended: max. 1 VM at a time)
• Offline Migration – Shut down and transfer for maximum reliability
• SSH Required – ESXi host must have SSH enabled for migration

🔐 Enterprise Security

• AES-256-GCM Encryption – All stored credentials encrypted at rest
• IP Whitelisting / Blacklisting – Restrict access by IP address or CIDR range
• Rate Limiting – Protection on all API endpoints
• Input Sanitization – Server-side validation and RBAC enforcement
• CORS Hardening – Secure same-origin policy by default

📸 Efficient LVM Snapshots

• Space-Efficient Snapshots – LVM COW snapshots for shared iSCSI SAN storage (saves 85–95% disk space)
• Health Monitoring – Auto-extend at 90%, auto-invalidate at 100% (only snapshot lost, never VM data)
• Full CRUD – Create, list, delete, and rollback efficient snapshots via API and UI

💿 Ceph Management

• Ceph Dashboard – Monitor and manage Ceph storage pools, OSDs, and monitors
• Pool Management – Create, resize, and configure Ceph pools

⚖️ Cross-Cluster Operations

• Cross-Cluster Load Balancing – Distribute workloads across multiple clusters
• Cross-Cluster Replication – Replicate VMs between clusters

🏢 Corporate Layout (Experimental)

• Tree-Based Sidebar – Inventory tree with inline nodes under selected cluster
• Dense Tables – Compact table layout inspired by enterprise management tools
• Toggle – Switch between Modern and Corporate layout in Profile → Appearance

🔁 High Availability & Node Updates

• HA Monitoring – Auto-restart VMs on node failure with configurable timing
• Rolling Node Updates – Update cluster nodes one by one with automatic evacuation
• Scheduled Updates – Configure recurring or one-time update schedules per cluster

🐛 Bug Fixes

• VM Deletion – Sanitize boot order before delete, wait for Proxmox task completion (#79)
• Scheduler Crash – get_client_ip() now handles missing Flask request context in background threads (#87)
• SSH Key Compatibility – Safe fallback for paramiko.DSSKey removal in paramiko 3.x+, added ECDSA support to all SSH paths
• CORS Crash – Fixed flask_cors crash when origins=None with supports_credentials=True
• Stale Closures – Fixed React state updates using functional updaters in tab data loading

⚡ Improvements

• Affinity Rules – Now work for LXC containers too, with enforcement flag
• PBS Integration – Proxmox Backup Server management
• Update Script – rsync → tar fallback for minimal Debian/LXC installs without rsync
• ESXi Rename – All user-facing "VMware" text changed to "ESXi" for legal compliance
