rcourtman f338bd4765 Judge client health from Docker when status runs out of band
provider-msp status, which upgrade.sh and the install proof gate on,
runs in a one-off `docker compose run` container attached only to the
provider ingress network. Its health check dialled each client's
container on the client's isolated network, which that container cannot
reach, and an unreachable client counts as unhealthy. So on any install
with a real client, status failed with "unhealthy active workspaces" and
./upgrade.sh --dry-run exited 1: the backup-gated upgrade path refused to
run as soon as a provider onboarded anyone. CI proofs never saw it
because they only ever run against an empty install. Reproduced on a
fresh v6.4.1 provider bundle with one client whose container Docker
reported healthy.

The runtime image declares a HEALTHCHECK that probes the same
/api/health inside the container, and Docker records the result where
any caller with the socket can read it. Use that when it exists and keep
the HTTP probe for images without one. With the change the same install
reports healthy_tenants=1 and upgrade.sh --dry-run plans cleanly.

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.
