Introduce team invitation support and a revamped email subsystem plus admin features. Adds Invitation model and API endpoints (create, list, revoke, resend, validate) and integrates invitation validation into user registration. Replaces old email account model with richer email models (EmailDomain, EmailAccount, EmailAlias, EmailForwardingRule, DNSProviderConfig) and updates models __init__. Refactors email API to manage domains, accounts, aliases, forwarding, DNS providers, spamassassin, Roundcube/Postfix services and queue/log endpoints. Adds several backend services (invitation, DNS provider, DKIM, Dovecot, Postfix, Roundcube, SpamAssassin, permission service) and a DB migration for permissions/invitations. Enhances admin API with permission management and activity dashboard endpoints, extends audit log actions, and adds a permission_required RBAC decorator. Includes frontend additions for settings/invitations UI and miscellaneous config/service updates and tests.
Introduce programmatic API features and observability: add API Key management, API usage analytics, webhook event subscriptions, and OpenAPI docs. New models (ApiKey, ApiUsageLog, ApiUsageSummary, EventSubscription, EventDelivery), services (api_analytics, api_key, event, openapi), and blueprints (/api-keys, /api-analytics, /event-subscriptions, /docs) were added and registered in create_app. Middleware for API key authentication, buffered analytics logging (with a flush thread), and enhanced rate limiting (custom key function and response headers) were implemented; RBAC was updated to accept API key auth via an auth_required decorator. Background threads for hourly aggregation and event retry were added; security CSP updated to allow resources for Swagger UI. Frontend settings UI and styles were added/updated for API keys and webhooks, and requirements were updated.
Add full SSO (Google, GitHub, generic OIDC, SAML) support and integrate Alembic-based DB migrations. Introduces OAuthIdentity model, sso_service, SSO API blueprint (authorize/callback/link/unlink/admin/config/test), and settings to enable/configure providers and enforce SSO-only logins. Integrates Flask-Migrate and a MigrationService with API endpoints for status/backup/apply/history and includes Alembic scaffolding (migrations/versions/001_baseline.py). Update app init to register SSO and migrations blueprints and initialize Migrate; replace fragile auto-column hack with MigrationService.prepare/check. Update User model (nullable password_hash, auth_provider, has_password/to_dict fields), add AuditLog SSO actions, add frontend SSO components/pages and a migration UI, and update ROADMAP and requirements. Notes: token encryption uses Fernet derived from SECRET_KEY; migrations may add the new auth_provider column at startup.
Introduce a full email management feature: adds EmailService (Postfix/Dovecot/SpamAssassin/OpenDKIM management, account creation, forwarding, webmail, queue/logs, service control), new email API blueprint with admin-protected endpoints, and EmailAccount DB model. Register the email blueprint in app init. Frontend: add Email page, route and sidebar link, preload accent color + theme to prevent FOUC, new email styles and a dashboard layout hook. Also update ROADMAP.md to include Phase 21 SSO/OAuth and bump roadmap last-updated date.
Introduce safer system interactions and improved logging fallbacks across services. Replace direct sudo/subprocess calls with run_privileged/privileged_cmd, add command availability checks (is_command_available) and Linux guards for user management. Enhance LogService with fallback readers (python file I/O, grep fallback, syslog and Windows Event Log support) and standardize responses via sourced_result. Update frontend Terminal to display log source and adjust UI when journalctl is unavailable. Misc: delegate ProcessService log retrieval to LogService, add PackageManager usage in PHP/SSL installs, and add warning logging in DeploymentService when diff generation fails.
Backend: Replace direct sudo/subprocess.run calls with run_privileged and privileged_cmd, add _needs_sudo/privileged_cmd logic and is_command_available checks, and return clearer errors for missing binaries (journalctl/grep/tail/truncate/logrotate/systemctl/service). Add FileNotFoundError handling and use privileged_cmd for Popen.
Frontend: UI and style refinements across Downloads, Security and Terminal pages — simplified Linux icon, added release date and banner actions, redesigned scanner UI into interactive scan cards with custom path and toolbar, handle unavailable journalctl with an empty state, update SVG icons. Styles (.less): switch mono font to JetBrains Mono, adjust spacing/gaps, sidebar text truncation, revamp downloads and security card styles, and improve terminal log fonts, wrapping and processes table layout.
Backend: filter out virtual/pseudo filesystem types and skip noisy mount prefixes (e.g. /snap/, /var/lib/docker/, /run/), and deduplicate mounts by device so only a single mount per device is reported for disk usage. Frontend: make the file manager sidebar scrollable with a max-height (calc(100vh - 120px)), disable that height in the small-screen modal, and remove max-height restriction for the last child to prevent clipping.
Backend: add PUT /cron/jobs/<id> endpoint and CronService.update_job to update job metadata and (on Linux) modify the system crontab; includes schedule validation and error handling.
Frontend: add useTabParam hook and update routes/PageTitle logic to support optional :tab URL segments for many pages, enabling deep-linked tabs. Update CronJobs UI to unify create/edit modal, add edit-on-click, run-output modal, improved SVG icon attributes, and wire updateCronJob in the API client. Styles: global SVG button rules, hover for cron items, and run-output styles.
Add backup dirs in Dockerfiles and adjust ownership. Change server routes to use a dynamic tab param and update components to support tabbed ServerDetail pages. Improve metrics handling by adding serverId support, more resilient field parsing, and server-specific metrics API calls. Revamp ServerDetail: introduce token modal and AgentRegistrationSection, reorganize Metrics, Settings and Security areas (IP allowlist, API key rotation, security alerts), move delete/generate token flows and wire up navigation. Update Servers and Docker pages to handle different API response shapes (Array checks) and tweak install modal copy/UX. Rename backend API call for registration token to /regenerate-token. Add many UI/Icon/CSS adjustments to support the new layouts and interactions, and fix various small bugs and data-shape assumptions.
Replace raw WebSocket handling with Socket.IO/Engine.IO protocol support in agent/internal/ws: build Socket.IO URL, perform Engine.IO OPEN handshake, connect to namespace, emit/parse Socket.IO events for auth, adapt read/write loops, add ping loop and reconnection handling, and map events to protocol messages. Update agent registration endpoint to /api/v1/servers/register. Add config file handling in cmd/agent (respect --config flag, set key file relative to config path) and import filepath. Update install scripts to new download API paths for Windows and *nix. Adjust frontend servers page copy to show registration tokens expire in 24 hours. Also add a Contributors section to the create-pr skill guidance.
Add cross-platform development launchers (dev.sh, dev.ps1) and a frontend ESLint flat config; remove legacy scripts and update docs to use ./dev.sh. Harden backup and storage logic: require admin for backup endpoints, use realpath checks to ensure backup paths stay inside the backup dir, prevent path traversal during archive extraction, and generate schedule IDs with UUIDs. Improve StorageProviderService with masked-secret handling, set restrictive file perms on config, validate S3/B2 endpoint URLs to mitigate SSRF (urlparse + ipaddress), avoid following symlinks during uploads, and adjust MD5 usage. Update Bandit config to skip expected noisy checks and tweak .gitignore entries and contributing docs to target the dev branch and the new dev scripts.
Move the backend into docker-compose and switch the frontend to a multi-stage Docker build. Key changes:
- Added backend/.dockerignore to ignore virtualenv, pycache, env files, instance, etc.
- Updated backend Flask app to safely serve index.html only if it exists and return JSON status/errors when frontend assets are absent.
- Removed docker-compose.dev.yml and expanded docker-compose.yml to run both backend and frontend in Docker (backend service, healthcheck, restart/logging, new ports 5849:5000 & 3847:80, and named volumes).
- Frontend changes: remove file ignores that prevented in-container builds, replace nginx-only image with a Node builder stage + nginx runtime (builds assets in Docker), and update nginx proxy to target the backend service (proxy_pass http://backend:5000).
- Updated dev script (scripts/dev/dev.bat) to use plain `docker compose` commands and the new service/container names and ports.
These changes enable fully containerized local/dev runs where the frontend is built inside Docker and the backend runs as a service in the compose network.
Replace hardcoded repository URL from serverkit/serverkit to jhd3197/ServerKit across agent Dockerfile, README, packaging scripts (deb/rpm) and install scripts so downloads and metadata point to the correct repo. Backend install endpoints now replace the repo placeholder with the GITHUB_REPO constant, and the frontend Windows install command was adjusted to use the -Server parameter instead of -ServerUrl. These changes ensure install scripts, packages, and generated docs reference the intended repository and that generated installer commands match the agent's expected flags.
Replace hardcoded placeholder host with window.location.origin when generating Linux and Windows install scripts so the scripts use the current deployment origin at runtime. Also adjust the Linux install flag from `--server-url` to `--server` to match the expected install script parameter. These changes ensure generated installer commands point to the correct server and include the registration token.
Replace generic @jwt_required() usage with role-based decorators and switch Socket.IO token handling to the auth payload.
- Replace jwt_required with viewer_required/admin_required across API modules (backend/app/api/cron.py, firewall.py, ftp.py, git.py, metrics.py) and update imports accordingly.
- Require JWT for previously public system/private endpoints (backend/app/api/system.py, private_urls.py).
- Change Socket.IO server connection handler to accept auth payload and read token from auth (backend/app/sockets.py) to avoid token leakage in query strings.
- Update frontend clients to send token via socket auth instead of query (frontend/src/pages/WordPressProject.jsx, frontend/src/services/socket.js).
These changes add finer-grained RBAC control for endpoints and improve socket auth security by removing tokens from URLs/logs.

Also updates .env.example files to include SERVERKIT_GITHUB_REPO.
Introduces a Site Settings tab in the Settings page for admins to toggle user registration. Adds dynamic page title updates based on route, updates the favicon and meta tags, and conditionally shows the registration link on the login page based on the registration setting. Also adds a reusable usePageTitle hook.
Replaced usage of @text-* font size variables with @font-size-* equivalents in _downloads.less for consistency with variable naming conventions. Updated index.html asset references to latest build outputs.
Adds API key rotation, IP allowlisting, anomaly detection, and replay protection to the ServerKit agent system. Backend changes include new endpoints, models, and services for security alerts, nonce tracking, and anomaly detection, as well as updates to the server model and agent authentication logic. The agent now supports credential rotation and replay protection via nonces. Frontend updates add UI and API methods for managing allowed IPs, viewing security alerts, and rotating API keys. Documentation and environment setup instructions are included.
Implements remote terminal functionality across agent, backend, and frontend. Adds PTY session management in the agent using creack/pty, new protocol actions, and terminal manager. Backend exposes terminal session APIs and session tracking via TerminalService. Frontend introduces a RemoteTerminal component using xterm.js and related APIs for interactive remote shell access.
