rcourtman/Pulse v3.33.0-rc2

on GitHub

🧪 Release Candidate 2

This release candidate adds PBS Push Mode support for monitoring isolated/firewalled PBS servers and improves the notification system UX.

What's Changed

✨ New Features

• PBS Push Mode - Monitor isolated PBS servers that can only make outbound connections (firewalled, DMZ, air-gapped)
  • Agent-based architecture where PBS servers push metrics to Pulse
  • No incoming connections required on PBS servers
  • One-line installer script for easy deployment
  • Visual indicators showing push vs pull connection modes
  • Automatic offline detection after 2 minutes

🚀 Improvements

• Cleaner Notification UX - Removed global notification toggles; notifications now controlled through individual alert configurations

🔒 PBS Push Mode Setup

1. Generate your own API key for Pulse (this is NOT a Proxmox key):

   # Generate a secure 32-character key:
   openssl rand -hex 16
   # Example: 7f3b9c4e2a1d5f8b6c9e3a7d4f2b8e5c

2. Set the key in your Pulse environment:

   PULSE_PUSH_API_KEY=your-generated-key-here

3. Install agent on PBS server:

   curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rcourtman/Pulse/main/scripts/install-pulse-agent.sh  < /dev/null |  bash

4. Configure the agent with your Pulse server URL and the API key you created

5. Start the agent service
