rcourtman/Pulse v4.0.3

on GitHub

New Features

🔐 Encrypted Config Export/Import

• Export entire Pulse configuration (including credentials) with passphrase encryption
• Import configurations for easy backup/restore or deployment automation
• Uses AES-256-GCM encryption with PBKDF2 key derivation (100,000 iterations)
• CLI commands: pulse config export and pulse config import
• API endpoints: /api/config/export and /api/config/import (protected by API_TOKEN)

🐳 Docker Auto-Import

• Automatically import configuration on container startup
• Set PULSE_CONFIG environment variable with encrypted config
• Set PULSE_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE for automatic decryption
• Perfect for Infrastructure-as-Code and GitOps workflows

📁 Simplified Directory Structure

• Single data directory for all configuration and runtime files
• Docker: /data (set via PULSE_DATA_DIR)
• Manual install: /etc/pulse (default)
• Cleaner, more intuitive organization

Bug Fixes

• Fixed version display in Docker - VERSION file was not being included in the final Docker image
• Fixed config persistence in Docker - Configuration now correctly saves to /data directory
• Fixed service discovery - Nodes and services now properly persist and display after container restart

Improvements

• Fixed ProxmoxVE helper script to use correct environment variable
• Better Docker persistence handling
• Improved documentation for deployment scenarios

Security Note

The export/import feature uses a separate passphrase from the system encryption key, ensuring that exported configurations can only be decrypted with the correct passphrase. API endpoints require authentication via API_TOKEN to prevent unauthorized credential extraction.
