What's new

Windows 0.11.57 — 15 October 2026

Control Board can now make changes in your lab with your permission, monitors more of it, and can send alerts to your phone. Every feature that makes a change is off until you turn it on in Settings > Controls.

Guest power: start, shut down, reboot or force stop a Proxmox guest from its page, or several at once. Stopping guests requires typing the guest’s name (or, for several, how many), and you can require a PIN. One of your actions can run first.
Kubernetes: restart a workload, or scale a Deployment or StatefulSet.
Terminal: a shell on a host, opened from the host’s drawer.
Guided maintenance: host by host, the guests move to the other hosts, the host is upgraded and rebooted if it needs to, then the guests move back.
UPS shutdown order: when a UPS runs low, the guests you chose shut down one at a time, after a 60-second countdown that can be canceled.
Audit log (Settings): every change made from Control Board, who made it, on which PC and when.
Phone and other alerts (Settings): ntfy, Pushover, Gotify, email and webhooks. Alerts are also less noisy: repeated alerts are grouped, flapping alerts are held back, and you can set your own severity levels.
New monitoring: Proxmox backup jobs and failed runs; disk health, wear and temperatures; Docker containers, their health and restarts; UPS battery, load and runtime over NUT.
Overview: “If a host goes down” shows whether its guests would fit on the others. The Overview and network map can show one site at a time.
Folders group guests by Proxmox pool, or into folders of your own. Saved views keep a page with its filters and layout one click away.
Guests show their Proxmox tag colors, and the host drawer’s Disk chart shows read and write.
Adding Proxmox asks up front whether to log in with an SSH key or a read-only API token.
On smaller screens, a maximized window fills the screen.
The update dialog now shows the correct build date.
Lab agent (preview): an optional small program on a Linux machine in your lab that keeps watching, and sends your alerts, while your PC is off. The app carries it and can install it over SSH (Sources > Add a source > Advanced > Agent in your lab). A copy of the app only reads through it until you allow it with the agent’s PIN.

Testers on 0.10.23 are offered this update inside the app.

Linux 0.1.2 — 7 October 2026

Guest power: start, shut down, reboot or force stop a Proxmox guest from its page. It’s off until you turn it on in Settings > Controls, and it’s offered only when the site’s login is allowed to. Stopping a guest asks you to type its name; you can require a PIN as well.
Adding Proxmox asks up front whether to log in with an SSH key or a read-only API token.
On smaller screens, a maximized window fills the screen, and a host on its own uses the full width.
The update dialog now shows the correct build date.

Linux 0.1.1 — 6 October 2026

Guests show in the colors Proxmox gives their tags, including colors set under Datacenter > Options > Tag Style. Settings > Guest colors switches back to Control Board’s own palette.
US spelling throughout.

Linux 0.1.0 — 6 October 2026

The first Linux version of Control Board.

Hosts, guests, network map, Kubernetes, services, alerts and backups in one window, read from your computer from the sources you add.
Install the .deb (Ubuntu, Debian and others that use apt), or run the AppImage.
Secrets you paste are kept in your system keyring.
Runs in the system tray and starts at login; this can be turned off from the tray menu.
With the .deb, signed updates are delivered in the app.

Windows 0.10.23 — 5 October 2026

Control Board now adapts to any setup, from a single server to multiple sites with hundreds of guests.

Layout setting: Auto, Always full or Always compact. Auto switches to compact past 6 hosts or 60 guests.
Network map: sites fold to one summary box (Open all / Fold all). Each host shows its own port speed, and traffic colors show the share of that port, or of your internet speed if you choose that in Settings.
Overview groups hosts by site, with a filter box on bigger setups.
Kubernetes separates your applications from the cluster’s platform components; you can move a namespace between the two.
Long lists now have a filter, an “only problems” switch and “show more”.
Setup: Proxmox in one step over SSH, using a key file you already have. Every source can be edited in the app, and each Proxmox site can have its own login. Advanced options are shown, not hidden.
Settings: seven themes, a font and text-size choice, and your own actions and host checks managed here.
Host detail: guest charts from the map, plus disk and pressure charts. A kubeconfig can come from a file.
Control Board reuses one connection per host instead of opening one for each check.

Testers on 0.10.4 are offered this update inside the app.

Windows 0.10.4 — 5 October 2026

Host checks now run only over Control Board’s own SSH connection (Sources > Host access). An older, unused route through WSL has been removed.

Windows 0.10.3 — 4 October 2026

First alpha release.

Setup wizard: add Proxmox, Kubernetes, web checks and SSH host access; each source is tested to be read-only before it can be saved
Overview, host detail graphs, network map, Kubernetes, services and certificates, alerts with history and maintenance windows
Host checks: your own read-only commands, run on every host
Secrets in Windows Credential Manager
Signed in-app updates
