Extend the runtime self check with native install diagnostics for the
environment file, service user, backup root ownership, and SQLite database
path. Export install metadata from the systemd units and pobsync-manage wrapper
so custom env files and service users are visible to Django checks.
Document restart, journal log inspection, and rollback steps in the README so
production updates have a clear recovery path.
Update the native installer so the pobsync service user gets journal
read access when the host exposes systemd-journal or adm groups.
Apply ownership and private directory modes to the configured backup
root, and reuse the existing environment backup root on reinstall so
production updates do not fall back to /backups.
Add a self-check for journal access and a host detail action that can
prepare missing backup directories for existing host configurations.
Add host-level checks for address, enabled state, SSH credential
selection, and backup directory readiness, and show them on the host
detail page.
Create host backup directories during host creation and prefill new
hosts from the default global config.
Add a staff-only logs view backed by journalctl with filtering by
pobsync unit, priority, and message text.
Improve runtime checks for gunicorn in virtualenv installs and ensure
the native installer grants the service user access to the backup root.
Expand the systemd installer so it can perform a complete native
installation with sensible defaults: copy the checkout into the target
app directory, create runtime directories, write the environment file,
install dependencies, configure systemd units, and optionally configure
nginx.
Add a staff-only Django self-check page that verifies runtime settings,
required binaries, writable paths, database connectivity, global config
state, and systemd service status when available.
Document installer overrides and expose the self-check from the main
navigation.
