Split dashboard priority and host status sections into server-rendered
partials and wire them into the shared refresh hook so operational state
updates without a full page reload.
Refs #36
Add a server-rendered run detail partial and a small vanilla JavaScript
refresh hook so active backup runs update status, controls, timing, and
rsync log output without a full page reload.
Document the Django-template-first refresh pattern for future control
panel work.
Refs #36
Mark the active primary or system navigation link with aria-current and a
subtle visual state so staff users can see where they are in the control
panel without making Admin a primary app route.
Refs #37
Move operator routes into a primary navigation group and demote admin,
self-check, changelog, and status API links into a secondary system group
so the header reflects the control panel workflow more clearly.
Refs #37
Give dashboard summary, trends, and host sections dedicated layout hooks
and tighten their responsive behavior so metrics and host cards remain
readable on narrower screens.
Refs #38
Rework the dashboard priority grid to avoid cramped four-column layouts,
prevent stretched empty panels, and make long host and snapshot text wrap
safely across dashboard cards.
Refs #38
Move run cancellation and review actions out of the page header into
dedicated action panels with clearer operator copy and consistent form
button styling.
Refs #25
Make retention apply, incomplete cleanup, and SSH key deletion visibly
destructive with warning copy, danger styling, and consistent cancel actions
while keeping the existing confirmation requirements intact.
Refs #25
Add shared form action styling and consistent Cancel links across config,
schedule, and SSH key forms so create/edit flows behave predictably.
Refs #25
Replace the database-style Latest Runs and Snapshots tables on the host
detail page with scannable record cards and host-filtered View all links.
Refs #26
Add a first-screen host control workspace with status, backup actions,
schedule state, and current activity so the host detail page behaves as the
primary operator page instead of starting with raw configuration blocks.
Refs #26
Move backup root usage, runway, daily new data, and available capacity into
the top dashboard priority area so storage risk is visible before deeper trend
details.
Refs #27
Move required actions, upcoming scheduled work, and recent run activity to the
top of the dashboard so the first screen answers what needs attention next.
Keep summary metrics, trends, and host cards as supporting drill-down content.
Refs #27
Add inline Mark reviewed actions for failed and warning runs on the run list,
preserving active filters after review so Operational Status drill-downs can
be cleared without opening every run detail page.
Refs #22
Add a staff-only schedules page with filters for host, enabled state, and
prune state, including next run and last scheduler state.
Wire the dashboard Schedules metric to the new overview so all primary
dashboard count cards have useful destinations.
Refs #23
Turn the dashboard operational status rows into direct links to filtered run
lists, so failed, warning, running, and queued states can be investigated from
the first screen.
Also move the hosts anchor back to the actual Hosts section.
Refs #23
Add staff-only list pages for backup runs and snapshots with practical
filters, then wire the dashboard summary cards and latest-runs panel to
those overviews.
This gives the dashboard real drill-down paths for run and snapshot counts
instead of leaving the data only partially visible on the first screen.
Refs #23
Apply the shared page-header pattern to configuration, access,
operations, retention, log, and changelog pages so the control panel
uses one consistent title, context, and action structure.
Add representative view assertions for the new page context on utility
pages.
Refs #28
Introduce a shared page-header pattern with kicker, title, subtitle, and
actions, then apply it to the dashboard, host detail, run detail, snapshot
detail, and retention plan pages.
Scope the global app header styles to avoid leaking sticky navigation styles
onto page-level headers, and add view assertions for the new page context.
Refs #28
Replace refactor-era wording such as Source, Source root, SQL records,
database, runtime, and Django generation labels with operator-facing copy
around backup source, tracking records, changelog files, active config, and
pobsync-managed SSH keys.
Add view assertions so the old source/SQL labels do not quietly return.
Refs #24
Record snapshot purge history whenever retention or incomplete cleanup removes
snapshot directories and SQL records. Store the purge reason, original kind,
path, action source, and triggering operator so manual, scheduled, CLI, and
incomplete cleanup actions remain auditable after the original snapshot record
is deleted.
Add a staff-only Purged Snapshots page with host/action filters and register
the audit model in Django admin.
Refs #16
Refs #8
Make SSH credential management more explicit by adding an edit action in the
key overview and requiring name confirmation before deletion. Keep deletion
blocked while a key is still selected by hosts or global config, and cover
rename, delete confirmation, and in-use protection in view tests.
Refs #20
Refs #8
Add reviewed state for failed/warning runs and incomplete snapshot records,
then use it to clear dashboard and host “need review” tasks after an operator
has acknowledged them.
Expose Mark reviewed actions on run detail and host retention warnings, keep
reviewed records available for audit/debug, and exclude reviewed problem runs
from operational counts and latest issue summaries.
Refs #19
Refs #8
Add a dedicated cleanup path for incomplete snapshots instead of letting
retention prune them implicitly. The retention plan now exposes a guarded
form that requires host and delete-count confirmation before removing
.incomplete snapshot directories and their SQL records.
Keep scheduled/manual retention behavior unchanged, add path safety checks,
and cover cleanup success, confirmation failures, max-delete limits, and
unexpected paths in tests.
Refs #10
Record worker pid, host, claim time, and heartbeat metadata on running
backup jobs so operators can see which worker owns a run.
Refresh the heartbeat while rsync is active and reconcile stale running
runs when the worker heartbeat stops. Add a worker option to tune or
disable stale-run reconciliation.
Refs #11
Expose the repository CHANGELOG.md through a staff-only Django view and
link it from the main navigation.
Render a small safe subset of Markdown without adding a runtime dependency,
copy the changelog into the Docker image, and cover the page with view tests.
Drop the obsolete pobsync_home field from GlobalConfig and remove it from
runtime config generation, form saves, and configuration commands.
The runtime state root now comes exclusively from POBSYNC_HOME/settings,
which keeps the Django model focused on backup behavior instead of install
layout.
Hide the old pobsync_home field from the Django admin and replace legacy
operator-facing labels with runtime state root and backup root terminology.
Rename admin compatibility fieldsets, update self-check/config-check text,
and refresh management command help so Django/systemd stays the primary
mental model.
Extend the restore guidance with directory and single-file dry-run
examples so operators can restore a focused path without copying an
entire snapshot.
Render the examples on snapshot detail pages using the selected
snapshot's data path and the host-specific staging destination.
Document the manual restore workflow in the README and surface snapshot-
specific restore commands on the snapshot detail page.
The guidance keeps restores intentionally manual for now: inspect the
snapshot data directory, run rsync with --dry-run, restore to staging
first, and treat hardlinked snapshot files as read-only.
Make queued, running, warning, and failed run states more visible at the
top of the dashboard with contextual status summaries and highlighted
summary metrics.
Also show an all-clear message when configured hosts have no active or
problematic runs.
Replace the dashboard trend metric grid with an operational summary that
explains storage usage, runway, average new data, link-dest savings, and
average duration in a more readable way.
Also add an empty state for fresh installs before completed backup stats
exist.
Add per-host status chips for queued, running, warning, and failed runs so
the dashboard shows operational pressure without needing to open each host.
Restructure host cards into clearer backup activity and snapshot health
sections, with less visual clutter and better mobile wrapping.
Split dashboard host cards into last successful backup and latest warning
or failed run so operators can quickly see whether a host is protected even
when recent activity produced an issue.
Also add queued and warning run counts to the dashboard summary metrics.
Record planned delete counts, max-delete settings, base protection, and
ignored incomplete snapshots in retention apply results.
Surface those details on run detail pages so scheduled and manual prune
outcomes are understandable without reading the raw JSON payload.
Make manual retention application more explicit by requiring operators to
confirm both the host name and the current number of planned deletions.
This reduces the risk of applying a stale or misunderstood retention plan
when the delete set changes between review and confirmation.
Show host-level retention warnings on run detail pages so successful or
warning runs still expose scheduled prune limit issues and incomplete
snapshots that need operator attention.
Show keep/delete reasons in the retention plan, surface scheduled prune
limit warnings, and explain base snapshot protection before retention is
applied.
Also surface incomplete snapshots from the retention views without deleting
them automatically, so interrupted backups are visible on the dashboard,
host detail, and retention plan.
Surface dry-run status, transfer estimates, file counts, warnings, and the full
rsync log link directly on the run detail page.
Keep raw rsync output and JSON available, but make the common review path easier
to scan before starting a real backup.
Add an on-demand host preflight action that verifies SSH reachability,
remote rsync availability, and remote source root access.
Persist the latest preflight result on the host config, render it in Django,
and block real backups when the last remote preflight failed.
Introduce a host preflight layer that separates dry-run blockers from real backup blockers.
Show the effective per-host backup configuration in Django before queueing a run.
Block real backup queueing when failed host checks remain, while still allowing dry-runs
when only local storage preparation is missing.
Extend the Django logs view with filters for service unit, severity, time
window, host, run id, and message text. Pass severity and time window directly
to journalctl, then apply host/run/message filtering to the returned pobsync
journal lines.
This makes failed or slow backups easier to investigate from the control panel
without needing shell access.
Restructure the run detail page into clearer sections for summary, failure
classification, requested options, rsync command, rsync log output, stats,
retention, and raw result data.
Show recent rsync log output inline with a link to the full log, and promote
failure and retention warning details out of the JSON payload so failed or slow
runs are easier to debug from the control panel.
Record the final rsync log path for successful real backup runs, matching
the existing dry-run and failure result payloads.
Add a staff-only run log endpoint and surface the link on run detail pages,
including fallback log discovery for older runs based on snapshot_path.
Cover direct log links and inferred scheduled backup logs with view tests.
Drop the legacy schedule user setting from the Django model, form, defaults,
and configure command.
Schedules are executed by the pobsync scheduler service under the configured
systemd service user, while remote SSH login users are configured separately
on global or host backup config.
Add a migration to remove the unused database column and update schedule
view tests around the simplified form.
Only apply default schedule initial values when creating a new schedule.
Avoid passing default initial data while editing an existing ScheduleConfig,
so the form renders the active cron-style expression, user, and retention
settings from the database.
Add a regression test that reopens an existing schedule and verifies the
stored values are shown instead of defaults.
Separate operational latest-run display from trend-stat collection so
successful backups without parsed stats still appear in dashboard host rows.
Keep trend summaries limited to runs with stats, but use all successful
real runs for the host latest-run indicator.
Render next scheduled run times with an explicit timezone label to avoid
ambiguity between UTC and local scheduler time.
Add a scheduler helper that calculates the next due time for a cron-style
schedule expression and surface that value on the dashboard and host detail
pages.
Show the latest run type in host summaries and backup trend tables so
manual and scheduled backups are distinguishable in the Django UI.
Keep the calculation derived from existing ScheduleConfig data without
adding a migration.
Rename the schedule form label from "Cron expression" to "Schedule
expression" and explain that cron-style timing is evaluated by the
pobsync scheduler service rather than host cron.
Update host detail and schedule form copy so operators can see that
schedules are SQL-backed and dispatched by pobsync itself.
