rcourtman 41abdd0b2c Let provider MSP upgrade.sh move an install to a new release
setup.sh resolves the image pins in .env to digests once, so upgrade.sh
only ever re-pulled the release a provider first installed. Moving to a
new release meant finding the new digests by hand, so none of a release's
fixes, and no new feature such as the portal Plan tab, reached an
existing install.

Run from a newly extracted release bundle, upgrade.sh now works on the
existing install: it resolves the bundle's control-plane and runtime tags
to digests, runs the status gate, preflight and verified backup with the
new release's control plane through a shell override while nothing on
disk changes, then keeps a copy of .env, installs the bundle files and
writes the new pins before starting the new images. --keep-image-pins
keeps hand-set pins.

It also pulls the tenant runtime image before the first status check,
which otherwise failed every upgrade to a new CP_PULSE_IMAGE with "not
present locally", including the documented pin-editing route.

Pulse documentation

Start here for installation, platform setup, security, operations, and Pulse Intelligence. Commands, configuration keys, image names, API fields, and product identifiers remain untranslated in localized guides.

Start here

  • Install Pulse — signed Proxmox/Linux installation, Docker, Docker Compose, Kubernetes, and first-run setup.
  • Production deployment and security — least-privilege Proxmox setup, root-agent boundaries, discovery, supply-chain verification, plan limits, scale evidence, and a rollout checklist.
  • Upgrade from Pulse v5 — migration prerequisites, rollback, agent continuity, and post-upgrade checks.
  • Releases and update channels: choosing Stable or Preview, beta and RC expectations, and how releases are tested and promoted.
  • Configure Pulse — authentication, notifications, discovery, retention, and system settings.
  • Deployment models — data locations, lifecycle, and differences between supported deployment paths.
  • Troubleshooting and FAQ — common failures, diagnostics, and operator questions.

Platforms and agents

VMware vSphere support is early access. Current builds expose dedicated vSphere inventory and recovery context, but operators should validate the integration against their own vCenter before production use.

Monitoring and operations

Pulse Intelligence

Patrol watch-only analysis is available on Community with a local model or the operator's own provider. Investigation and governed fixes require the relevant Pulse Pro capabilities.

Security, privacy, and access

Plans and managed access

Pulse Cloud is not generally available. Ordinary self-hosted Pulse remains the primary installation path; MSP and Enterprise access are explicit commercial paths rather than defaults in self-hosted setup.

Development and reference

Detailed design notes and dated migration specifications may remain in this directory for maintainers, but they are not operator setup guides unless they are linked from the sections above.
