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
