The refresh/retry button called fetchVersion() without clearing versionInfo first, so the old value stayed displayed with no feedback. On manual refresh it now immediately sets versionInfo to null (shows spinner) then fetches with ?_t=Date.now() to bypass any browser cache of the API response. Bump version to 0.4.5 to include all fixes since 0.4.4 (day/night toggle, uptime/kill allowlist, auto-retry on version error).

# NixPanel Changelog
|
|
|
|
All notable changes to NixPanel are documented here.
|
|
Versioning follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/): MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.
|
|
Pre-1.0 versions treat MINOR as feature releases and PATCH as bug fixes.

## [0.4.5] — 2026-04-11
|
|
|
|
### Bug Fixes
|
|
- **Sidebar version refresh not updating** — clicking the refresh icon now clears the stale version immediately (shows spinner) and adds a `?_t=` cache-bust parameter so the browser never serves a cached response. Same fix applied to the "Retry" button in the error state.
|
|
- **`uptime` and `kill` missing from exec allowlist** — caused `GET /api/nixserver/system/info` to throw "Command not allowed", returning 500 and leaving Hostname/OS as `…` on the dashboard.
|
|
- **Version fetch auto-retry** — when the version API fails (e.g. during service restart after upgrade), the sidebar now automatically retries every 5 s until it succeeds instead of permanently showing "Version unavailable".
|
|
|
|
### New Features
|
|
- **Day/Night mode toggle** — sun/moon flip switch at the right end of the dashboard info bar. Light palette: page `#f0f4f8`, cards `#ffffff`. Preference persisted to `localStorage`. All pages switch via seven `[data-theme="light"]` CSS overrides in `index.css` without touching individual page files.
|

|
## [0.4.4] — 2026-04-11
|
|
|
|
### New Features
|
|
- **Server info bar on Dashboard** — cPanel/WHM-style info strip at the top of the NixPanel home page. Shows Username, Hostname, OS, NixPanel Version, Load Averages (live from WebSocket), and Server Monitoring alert count. Alerts are colour-coded: green "All Clear" when all managed services are running; amber "N Alerts" with a count of stopped/failed services.
|

|
|
|
## [0.4.3] — 2026-04-11
|
|
|
|
### New Features
|
|
- **Version display in sidebar** — the sidebar footer shows the currently installed version (e.g. `v0.4.3`), fetched live from the API. A green checkmark indicates up to date; an amber alert indicates an update is available.
|
|
- **One-click panel upgrade** — "Upgrade panel" button in the sidebar footer. When a newer version is available it highlights amber and shows the target version. Clicking requires a confirmation step before running. Calls `POST /api/nixserver/system/upgrade` which fires `scripts/update.sh` in the background (git pull → npm install → prisma migrate → build frontends + server → restart service). The panel comes back online automatically after ~60 s.
|
|
- **Check for updates button** — small refresh icon next to the version badge re-fetches version info on demand.
|
|
- **Backend: `GET /api/nixserver/system/version`** — returns `currentVersion` (read from `/opt/nixpanel/package.json`), `latestVersion` (fetched from GitHub raw content with a 5 s timeout), and `updateAvailable` boolean.
|
|
- **Backend: `POST /api/nixserver/system/upgrade`** — admin-only; responds immediately then spawns `scripts/update.sh` detached so the HTTP response is flushed before the service restarts.
|

## [0.4.2] — 2026-04-11
|
|
|
|
### Changes
|
|
- **NixServer sidebar redesigned** — replaced the flat 14-item nav with a full WHM-style collapsible category sidebar (29 categories, ~210 menu items). Categories fold/unfold on click; the active route's category auto-expands on navigation. A live search box at the top of the sidebar filters items across all categories and auto-expands matching results. Sidebar can be hidden entirely via the topbar toggle. All existing routes are wired to their correct menu items; future feature items route to the closest related hub page.

## [0.4.1] — 2026-04-11
|
|
|
|
### Bug Fixes (Installer)
|
|
- **SpamAssassin service name**: On Ubuntu 24.04 the service unit is `spamd`, not `spamassassin`. The old `systemctl enable spamassassin` caused the install to abort due to `set -euo pipefail`.
|
|
- **PowerDNS port 53 conflict**: `systemd-resolved` stub listener now disabled in a dedicated step that runs *before* package installation. Previously it ran after apt had already tried (and failed) to restart `pdns` during post-install because port 53 was still held by `systemd-resolved`.
|
|
- **Git clone into pre-existing directory**: The directory structure step (`mkdir -p`) creates `$INSTALL_DIR` before the clone step, causing `git clone` to fail with "destination path already exists". Fixed by cloning to a temp directory and copying contents into place (preserving any existing `data/` and `logs/` subdirectories).
|
|
- **Apache 403 on frontend assets**: Frontend dist files were created with root-only permissions. Added a post-build step that sets 755/644 on all dist directories and files so Apache (`www-data`) can read them.
|
|
- **Apache 500 on all API requests**: `mod_proxy_http` was not enabled. Without it, `ProxyPass http://...` directives silently fail and Apache returns 500 for every API call. Also enabled `mod_proxy_wstunnel` (required for the `ws://` WebSocket reverse proxy).

## [0.4.0] — 2026-04-11
|
|
|
|
### New Features
|
|
- **Shell Access Manager** (`/accounts/shell-access`): Admin can enable (`/bin/bash`) or disable (`/usr/sbin/nologin`) SSH shell access per hosting account. Reads current shell on account select; shows current state clearly before toggle.
|
|
- **Apache Log Viewer** (`/accounts/apache-logs`): Admin can view the last 200 lines of `access.log` or `error.log` from each account's home directory (`~/logs/`). Replaced the former "Coming Soon" stub.
|
|
- **Backend: Shell toggle route** — `PUT /api/nixserver/accounts/:id/shell` — validates `enabled` boolean, runs `usermod -s`, updates DB, creates audit log entry.
|
|
- **Backend: Per-account Apache log route** — `GET /api/nixserver/webserver/accounts/:username/logs/:type` — validates username against `[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+`, tails `~/logs/{access,error}.log`.
|
|
|
|
### Changes
|
|
- **WebServer page** fully rewritten to Apache-only: shows status for `apache2`, `php8.2-fpm`, `php8.3-fpm`; per-service reload buttons; config test calls `apache2ctl configtest`; log viewer reads from `/var/log/apache2/`.
|
|
- **Backend `webserver.ts`** rewritten: removed all nginx references, added Apache (`apache2ctl configtest/reload`), PHP-FPM reload (`systemctl reload php8.x-fpm`), `readdir`-based vhost listing from `/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/`.
|
|
- **NginxLogs page** (`/accounts/nginx-logs`) now re-exports `ApacheLogs` — NixPanel uses Apache, not NGINX.
|
|
- **Accounts hub** (`/accounts`): removed the separate "Raw NGINX Log Download" card (duplicate of Apache Logs); removed `soon` badges from Shell Access and Apache Log Viewer; fixed Lucide icon `size` prop TypeScript incompatibility.
|
|
|
|
### Bug Fixes
|
|
- `Accounts.tsx`: Lucide icon `ComponentType` declared `size?: number` but Lucide passes `size?: string | number` — widened to `size?: number | string`.
|
|
- `Accounts.tsx`: Removed unused `Users` import (TS6133).
|
|
- `webserver.ts` (backend): Routes were still calling `nginx -t`, `systemctl reload nginx`, and reading from `/etc/nginx/` despite nginx being removed from the service stack in 0.3.x. Fixed to use Apache equivalents.
|

## [0.3.2] — 2026-03-xx
|
|
|
|
### Changes
|
|
- TypeScript compilation fixes across server, nixserver, nixclient.
|
|
- `auth/index.ts`: Fixed `Parameters<typeof prisma.refreshToken.create>` resolving to `unknown` in Prisma 5 — replaced with explicit typed object using `?? undefined` on optional relation fields.
|
|
- `nixclient/cron.ts`: Added explicit type annotation `(j: { schedule, command, comment })` to `jobs.map()` callback to resolve implicit `any`.
|
|
- `nixserver/accounts.ts`: Added explicit type annotation to over-quota filter lambda.
|
|
- `mysql2` added to server dependencies (`^3.11.5`).
|
|
- `@types/node-cron` added to server devDependencies (`^3.0.11`).
|
|

|
|
## [0.3.1] — 2026-03-xx
|
|
|
|
### New Features
|
|
- **Databases** (`nixclient`): Full MariaDB database management — create/delete databases, add/remove database users with privilege selection. Backend replaced shell-exec MySQL calls with `mysql2` parameterized queries and identifier allowlist to prevent injection.
|
|
- **Email** (`nixclient`): Rewrote email route — replaced `doveadm` calls with `core/mail.ts` functions; added `PUT /:id/password` route; forwarder add/remove via Exim virtual_aliases.
|
|
- **SSL** (`nixserver`): Certbot switched from `--webroot` to `--apache` plugin; uses `getCertPaths()` from `core/ssl.ts`.
|
|
- **Domains** (`nixclient`): Connected subdomain, addon domain, and parked domain APIs.
|
|
- **Stats** (`nixclient`): Disk/bandwidth usage bars + feature usage counts.
|
|
|
|
### Core Modules Added
|
|
- `core/apache.ts` — Apache vhost generation, enable/disable/suspend, PHP-FPM pool management.
|
|
- `core/dns.ts` — Rewritten for PowerDNS bind backend; zone file management in `/etc/pdns/zones/`; `pdns_control` integration.

|
|
- `core/monitor.ts` — Service health monitor for apache2, php-fpm, exim4, dovecot, pdns, mariadb, fail2ban; auto-restart with rolling window cap.
|
|

|
|
- `core/stats.ts` — `collectDiskUsage()` via `df -BM`, `resetMonthlyBandwidth()`.
|
|
- `core/license.ts` — Startup validation + 6-hour heartbeat to licensing server.
|
|
- `core/exec.ts` — Added `execWithStdin()` via `child_process.spawn` for stdin piping; added pdns, exim4, nixpanel paths to allowlist; removed nginx/bind/postfix.
|

## [0.3.0] — 2026-03-xx
|
|
|
|
### Architecture: Service Stack Change
|
|
Complete server stack pivot based on cPanel reverse-engineering analysis (Ubuntu 24.04 install diff). Replaced incorrect services with cPanel-equivalent stack:
|
|
|
|
| Component | Before | After |
|
|
|-----------|--------|-------|
|
|
| Web server | nginx | Apache2 + mod_proxy_fcgi |
|
|
| PHP | php-fpm (generic) | PHP-FPM 8.2 + 8.3 per-account pools |
|
|
| DNS | BIND9 | PowerDNS + bind backend |
|
|
| Mail MTA | Postfix | Exim4 (exim4-daemon-heavy) |
|
|
| Mail IMAP/POP3 | — | Dovecot (imapd, pop3d, lmtpd) |
|
|
| Panel database | MariaDB | SQLite (panel-internal) |
|
|
| Firewall | UFW | iptables + netfilter-persistent |
|
|
| FTP | vsftpd | Deferred to post-v1 |
|
|
|
|
### Config Changes (`config.ts`)
|
|
- Removed nginx paths; added `apacheSites`, `apacheEnabled`, `phpFpmPool82/83`, `pdnsZones`, `pdnsBindBackend`, `eximVirtualDomains`, `eximVirtualMailboxes`, `eximVirtualAliases`, `dovecotPasswd`, `letsencryptLive`.
|
|
- Added `mariadb` connection section (host, port, user, password).
|
|
- Added `licensing` section (serverUrl, licenseKey).
|
|
- Removed `features.terminalEnabled`.
|
|
|
|
### Prisma Schema (`schema.prisma`)
|
|
- Switched provider from `mysql` to `sqlite`.
|
|
- Removed all `@db.VarChar`, `@db.Text`, `@db.BigInt` type annotations (SQLite incompatible).
|
|
- Added `resellerId Int?` + `reseller` relation to `AuditLog`.
|
|
- Added `auditLogs AuditLog[]` to `Reseller` model.
|
|
- Removed `TerminalSession` model.
|
|
- Fixed account default shell: `/bin/false` → `/usr/sbin/nologin`.
|
|
|
|
### Installer (`scripts/install.sh`)
|
|
- Hard Ubuntu 24.04 check.
|
|
- Correct package list: apache2, pdns-server, pdns-backend-bind, exim4, exim4-daemon-heavy, dovecot-core/imapd/pop3d/lmtpd, php8.2-fpm, php8.3-fpm, mariadb-server, certbot python3-certbot-apache, iptables, iptables-persistent, sqlite3.
|
|
- Idempotent step tracking via `/var/lib/nixpanel/install/*.done`.
|
|
- Package pinning via `/etc/apt/preferences.d/nixpanel-pins` (prevents apt from overriding managed packages).
|
|
- Disables unattended-upgrades.
|
|
- Creates `nixpanel` system user with nologin shell.
|
|
- Configures PowerDNS bind backend; disables systemd-resolved stub.
|
|
- Configures Exim4 via debconf for internet site mode.
|
|
- Configures Dovecot with passwd-file auth.
|
|
- SQLite database at `/opt/nixpanel/data/nixpanel.db`.
|
|
- iptables rules with `netfilter-persistent save`.
|
|
- Certbot Apache deploy hook for auto-reload.
|

## [0.2.x] — Prior
|
|
|
|
Initial development with incorrect service stack (nginx, BIND9, Postfix, MariaDB for panel data). Functional skeleton of API routes; no production-ready installer.
