- 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 - NOT FOR PUBLIC USE
|
|
|
|
This is a private development repository for version retention only.
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
|
|
- **Active Development**: In progress
|
|
- **Not Production Ready**: Do not use
|
|
- **Breaking Changes Expected**: APIs will change
|
|
- **No Support Available**: This is not released software
|
|
|
|
## What This Is
|
|
|
|
A self-hosted, cross-platform update management platform built with:
|
|
|
|
- Go server backend + PostgreSQL
|
|
- React web dashboard with TypeScript
|
|
- Cross-platform agents (Linux APT/DNF/Docker, Windows Updates/Winget)
|
|
- Local CLI tools for agent management
|
|
- Update installation system with dependency management
|
|
- Refresh token authentication for stable agent identity
|
|
|
|
## What This Isn't
|
|
|
|
- Not ready for public use
|
|
- Not documented for external users
|
|
- Not supported or maintained for others
|
|

|
## Current Capabilities
|
|
|
|
### Working Features
|
|
- Server backend with REST API
|
|
- Cross-platform agent registration and check-in
|
|

|
|

|
|
- Web dashboard with agent management and real-time status
|
|
- Local CLI tools (--scan, --status, --list-updates, --export, --export=json/csv)
|
|
- Update installation system with dry-run dependency checking
|
|
- Beautiful terminal output with colors and severity indicators
|
|
- Local cache system for offline viewing of scan results
|
|

|
|
|
### Known Limitations
|
|
- No rate limiting on API endpoints (security improvement needed)
|
|
- No real-time WebSocket updates
|
|
- Proxmox integration is broken (needs complete rewrite)
|
|
- Authentication system works but needs security hardening
|
|

|
|
|
|
### List All Updates
|
|
```bash
|
|
# All updates
|
|
curl http://localhost:8080/api/v1/updates
|
|
|
|
# Filter by severity
|
|
curl http://localhost:8080/api/v1/updates?severity=critical

## Security
|
|
|
|
- Agent Authentication: JWT tokens with 24h expiry
|
|
- Pull-based Model: Agents poll server (firewall-friendly)
|
|
- Command Validation: Whitelisted commands only
|
|
- TLS Required: Production deployments must use HTTPS
