Implemented Machine ID check when enrolling a linux host into PatchMon rather than using the friendly name as the unique identifier. Mainly implemented when I worked on the auto-enrollment system for ProxMox LXC Containers
Implemented ProxMox auto-enrollment function where it searches and attaches LXC containers then enrolls them into PatchMon
Add Package deletion ability from tigattack
Made tables and views better and in sync with the rest of the ui by tigattack
Made JWT Token required as a environment variable when starting server.js
Added global search bar
Added PatchMon Logos and ability to change them, with a new branding option in the settings menu
Reworked github fetch for version updates checking to give more details of latest commits
Made changes to the navigation pane
- Update updateScheduler to use default GitHub repository
- Remove 'No GitHub repository configured' warning message
- Use same default fallback logic as version routes
- Add commit difference tracking between main branch and release tag
- Show how many commits main branch is ahead of current release
- Update UI to display branch status with clear messaging
- Fix linting issues with useCallback and unused parameters
- Simplify version display with My Version | Latest Release layout
The migration was dropping the constraint but not the underlying unique index.
In PostgreSQL, unique constraints and unique indexes can exist independently.
This caused auto-enrollment to fail with 'unique constraint violated' errors.
Added explicit DROP INDEX statement to ensure the unique index is removed,
allowing duplicate friendly_name values while machine_id remains unique.
- Add machine_id support for manual host creation from GUI
- Generate temporary 'pending-{uuid}' machine_id for new hosts
- Agent now collects and sends machine_id on every update
- Backend replaces pending machine_id with real one on first agent connection
- Remove unnecessary duplicate name check (friendly_name can be duplicated)
- Add get_machine_id() function to agent (reads from /etc/machine-id, /var/lib/dbus/machine-id, or generates fallback)
- Display IP address in Network tab on host details page
- Fix network tab visibility conditions to include host.ip
This ensures proper host identification using machine_id while maintaining backwards compatibility with API credentials as the primary authentication method.
- Added machine_id field to host details page
- Backend now returns machine_id in all host queries
- Users can search hosts by machine_id
- Added hostname index to schema for better performance
- Auto-enrollment endpoints now require and validate machine_id
- Check for duplicates by machine_id instead of friendly_name
- Added /hosts/check-machine-id endpoint for agent installer
- Bulk enrollment updated to handle machine_id
- Multiple hosts with same hostname now supported
- Add machine_id field to hosts schema (unique, indexed)
- Remove unique constraint from friendly_name (allow duplicate hostnames)
- Agent installer now generates/reads persistent machine_id
- Proxmox script retrieves machine_id from LXC containers
- Backend will check machine_id instead of hostname for duplicates
This allows multiple hosts with same hostname to coexist in PatchMon
