Problem: Version check middleware blocked old agents from checking in to receive
update commands, creating a deadlock where agents couldn't upgrade because they
were blocked from checking in.
Solution: Modified MachineBindingMiddleware to allow old agents checking in for
commands to proceed IF they have a pending update_agent command. This allows
agents to receive the update command even when below minimum version.
Changes:
- Added grace period logic in middleware for command endpoints
- Check if agent has pending update command before blocking
- If update pending, allow check-in and log it
- Added HasPendingUpdateCommand() to AgentQueries for checking pending updates
- Also added same method to CommandQueries for completeness
This prevents the version tracking deadlock while maintaining security for
agents without pending updates.
NOTE: Need to test that old agents can actually receive and execute update
commands when allowed through this path.
- Fix recursive call in reportLogWithAck that caused infinite loop
- Add machine binding and security API endpoints
- Enhance AgentScanners component with security status display
- Update scheduler and timeout service reliability
- Remove deprecated install.sh script
- Add subsystem configuration and logging improvements
Added circuit breakers with configurable timeouts for all subsystems (APT, DNF, Docker, Windows, Winget, Storage). Replaces cron-based scheduler with priority queue that should scale beyond 1000+ agents if your homelab is that big.
Command acknowledgment system ensures results aren't lost on network failures or restarts. Agent tracks pending acknowledgments with persistent state and automatic retry.
- Circuit breakers: 3 failures in 1min opens circuit, 30s cooldown
- Per-subsystem timeouts: 30s-10min depending on scanner
- Priority queue scheduler: O(log n), worker pool, jitter, backpressure
- Acknowledgments: at-least-once delivery, max 10 retries over 24h
- All tests passing (26/26)
- Redesign AgentUpdatesEnhanced with tab-based workflow (pending/approved/installing/installed)
- Add AgentStorage component with disk partition table
- Add AgentScanners component for agent health monitoring
- Fix agent removal not refreshing list (cache invalidation)
- Bump agent version to 0.1.18 (enhanced disk detection)
- Update server default version to 0.1.18
- Add command source tracking (system/manual) migration
- Improve Linux disk detection for all physical mount points
- Update go.mod files to use github.com/Fimeg/RedFlag module path
- Fix all import statements across server and agent code
- Resolves build errors when cloning from GitHub
- Utils package (version comparison) is actually needed and working
Breaking changes for clean alpha releases:
- JWT authentication with user-provided secrets (no more development defaults)
- Registration token system for secure agent enrollment
- Rate limiting with user-adjustable settings
- Enhanced agent configuration with proxy support
- Interactive server setup wizard (--setup flag)
- Heartbeat architecture separation for better UX
- Package status synchronization fixes
- Accurate timestamp tracking for RMM features
Setup process for new installations:
1. docker-compose up -d postgres
2. ./redflag-server --setup
3. ./redflag-server --migrate
4. ./redflag-server
5. Generate tokens via admin UI
6. Deploy agents with registration tokens
- Cross-platform support (Windows/Linux) with Windows Updates and Winget
- Added dependency confirmation workflow and refresh token authentication
- New screenshots: History, Live Operations, Windows Agent Details
- Local CLI features with terminal output and cache system
- Updated known limitations - Proxmox integration is broken
- Organized docs to docs/ folder and updated .gitignore
- Probably introduced a dozen bugs with Windows agents - stay tuned
🚩 Private development - version retention only
