What's Changed
New Features
14- Share a private status page with your client — give a client a read-only portal for a single app so they can check that it's up, without touching the rest of your server
- Choose exactly what the client can see and do — start with view-only status and metrics, and optionally allow recent logs, restart, start, or suspend for that one app
- Brand the portal for your client — set a client-visible label, a brand name, a logo, and an accent color so the page looks like yours
- Put it on your own hostname with HTTPS — point a domain like
status.yourclient.comat the portal; it works with managed Traefik or your existing reverse proxy - Set an expiry and an optional passcode — links can expire after a set number of days and can require an extra passcode on top of the private link
- Guided setup with a readiness scan — before installing, Server Compass checks the license, runtime, disk, memory, and ports and tells you what needs attention
- Manage every link from one place — copy the private link, open a read-only preview, edit access, rotate, revoke, or remove links, and review a per-client activity log
- Keep the portal up to date — update the portal runtime on your server to the latest release in one click, or uninstall it completely when you're done
- Secrets stay on your device — private links are stored in your computer's system keychain, and your server credentials never leave the encrypted vault
- Clone an app from one server to another — a new "Server Compass" option in Migration copies an app and its data to another server you manage
- Follow a simple wizard — choose the app, choose the destination server, review what will transfer, then start the move
- Brings the data and image along — the app's data comes with it, and the container image is transferred when the destination can't pull it on its own
- Back up to SFTP/SSH and pCloud — in addition to S3-compatible storage, you can now send backups to an SFTP server or a pCloud account
- Set up each destination with a guided form — connect, test the connection, and save the destination before your first backup
Improvements
3- Search inside your terminal — a new find bar lets you search the terminal output for text and jump between matches
- Faster repository setup — browsing branches and detecting your app's framework is quicker and no longer repeats the same lookups while you configure a deploy
- A cleaner, more consistent deploy flow — creating and configuring an app now uses a streamlined set of screens with a single live deploy monitor, whichever build method you choose
Bug Fixes
2- Fixed the cursor jumping to the address field while setting up a client portal — typing in the label or clicking another field no longer pulls your cursor back to the "Public HTTPS origin" box
- Added clear validation for the portal address — you now get a friendly message if the origin isn't a valid
https://address, instead of a failed save
