Audited the customer-facing docs against the code: about 5,200 concrete claims (env vars, endpoints, flags, defaults, ports, UI labels), plus every environment variable the code reads. Each discrepancy was re-verified against the source before editing, and every edit was reviewed again. What users would have hit following the old text: - UI paths and labels that no longer exist (Settings > Relay, Platform connections, Access Control, SSO Providers, Create Organization) and Patrol mode names (now Ask first, Safe auto-fix, Autopilot). - Wrong values and behaviour: LOG_MAX_AGE=0 does not disable cleanup, Patrol evidence budget is 10 calls and 12 turns, ALLOW_UNPROTECTED_EXPORT covers private networks too, PULSE_AUDIT_ASYNC defaults on. - Agent install: install.sh ignores PULSE_ENABLE_KUBERNETES and PULSE_ENABLE_PROXMOX, rejects --disable-auto-update, and the token fallback lives in the state directory. - API: audit endpoints answer 402 on Community, onboarding QR is GET, type=container is rejected, several routes need admin plus a scope. - HTTP_REDIRECT_PORT was not documented anywhere. Docs are mirrored under frontend-modern/public/docs, so each change is applied to both copies. The tests that pinned the old wording (including three that asserted claims the code contradicts) are updated alongside. Contract-Neutral: Customer docs corrected to match shipped behaviour; no runtime, API or contract change.
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
- Proxmox Backup Server
- Proxmox Mail Gateway
- Docker and Podman
- Kubernetes and Helm
- TrueNAS SCALE and CORE
- Unified Agent
- Agent security
- VM disk monitoring
- ZFS monitoring
- Temperature monitoring
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
- Metrics history
- Recovery data
- Webhooks
- Automatic updates
- Centralized agent management (Pro)
- Operational trust model
- Current product screenshots
Pulse Intelligence
- Assistant, Patrol, and external-agent overview
- Patrol modes and safety
- Assistant safety model
- External agent HTTP and MCP substrate
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
- Production deployment and security
- Security review scope
- Authentication and credential storage review packet
- Security guide
- Privacy and telemetry disclosure
- OIDC and SSO
- Proxy authentication
- Role-based access control (Pro)
- Audit logging (Pro)
- Reverse proxy configuration
- Code-signing policy
Plans and managed access
- Community, Relay, and Pro capabilities
- Relay and Pulse Mobile handoff
- Multi-tenant organizations (Enterprise/custom)
- Provider-hosted MSP operations (request-assisted)
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.
Previous versions and migrations
- Upgrade from v4 to v5
- Retired unified-navigation migration — historical context only; current Pulse uses platform-shaped navigation.
- Move a Pulse installation
