rcourtman/Pulse v4.7.0-rc.3 on GitHub

What's Changed

This RC includes the fix for PBS custom port handling from issue #346, along with all the new features from rc.1 and rc.2.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Requirements for VM Disk Monitoring Feature

The new VM Disk Monitoring feature requires setup on both the Proxmox host AND inside your VMs:

1. Update Proxmox API Token Permissions

The easiest way to get the new VM.Monitor permission is to remove and re-add your Proxmox nodes in Pulse:

Go to Settings → Nodes in Pulse
Remove your existing Proxmox nodes
Add them back using the Quick Token Setup
The setup script will automatically configure all required permissions including the new VM.Monitor permission

2. Install QEMU Guest Agent in Your VMs

The QEMU guest agent must be installed and running inside each VM:

For Debian/Ubuntu VMs:

apt update && apt install qemu-guest-agent
systemctl enable --now qemu-guest-agent

For RHEL/CentOS/Rocky/Alma VMs:

yum install qemu-guest-agent
systemctl enable --now qemu-guest-agent

For Windows VMs:

Install the VirtIO drivers which include the guest agent
The service should start automatically

Then enable it in Proxmox: In the VM's Options tab, enable "QEMU Guest Agent"

What this gives you: With both requirements met, Pulse can show actual disk usage inside VMs (like df -h output) instead of just the allocated disk size. VMs without the guest agent will continue showing allocated size as before.

New Features

VM Disk Monitoring - Monitor actual disk usage inside VMs via QEMU guest agent (see requirements above)
Proxy Authentication Support - Configure custom proxy credentials for secure proxy access
Secure Setup Codes - One-time codes for secure node registration replacing passwords
Encrypted Webhooks - Webhook data now encrypted at rest for improved security
Port Configuration - Installer now prompts for custom port configuration
Network Discovery Toggle - Option to disable automatic network discovery
LXC Container Creation - Automatic container creation for Proxmox hosts
Improved Alert System - Better threshold tables and alert configuration

Bug Fixes & Improvements

Addressed PBS custom port handling (issue #346)
Improved UX by moving discovery toggle to node tabs
Fixed storage alert disabling persistence
Better handling of non-interactive installations for Proxmox
Added Gotify webhook template support
Fixed webhook template saving issues
Improved WebSocket CORS handling for Docker
Fixed API token functionality when auth is disabled

How to Update

For RC Release Testing
