Impulse Server Manager

We are excited to announce the release of v0.2.0! This update includes significant under-the-hood changes and refactoring aimed at making it easier to extend Impulse. Additionally, we have introduced several user-facing features and quality-of-life improvements.

Hightlights

Broker Refactor

The broker refactor is now complete, allowing you to create custom brokers as plugins for Impulse. This new architecture will also facilitate the distribution of future first-party brokers outside of our core functionality, enabling us to support a wider range of platforms without bloating the installation.

API Documentation

We have enhanced our API library documentation with comprehensive docstrings. A dedicated KDocs site will be launched soon for easier access.

New Pin/Unpin Commands

We have added new commands that allow for a temporary override of the shutdown behavior, providing greater flexibility in server management.

Expanded Server Lifecycle Configuration

More configuration settings have been exposed, allowing for deeper customization of how the server lifecycle is managed by Impulse.

Revamped Documentation

Our documentation has been completely overhauled and is now presented in a more user-friendly format!

Bugfixes

We have resolved several outstanding bugs related to configuration permissions, parsing issues, and Docker image pulling.

Migration

[!WARNING] There are braking changes in this update. You must read this section before upgrading.

Configuration

As part of our refactoring, we have introduced several breaking changes to our configuration schema. While all keys remain, they have been reorganized to maintain clarity as we expand the options available. You can find the full documentation for the configuration file here.

Renamed Configuration Keys

• inactiveTimeout has been renamed to lifecycleSettings.timeouts.inactiveGracePeriod

  servers:
    - name: foo
      lifecycleSettings:
        timeouts:
          inactiveGracePeriod: 500 # time in seconds
  

• forceServerReconciliation has been renamed to lifecycleSettings.reconciliationBehavior

  servers:
    - name: foo
      lifecycleSettings:
        reconciliationBehavior: ON_STOP
  

• serverReconciliationGracePeriod has been renamed to lifecycleSettings.timeouts.reconciliationGracePeriod

  servers:
    - name: foo
      lifecycleSettings:
        timeouts:
          reconciliationGracePeriod: 60 # time in seconds
  

Default Behavior Changes

By default, servers will no longer stop after 5 minutes of inactivity; they will now run indefinitely unless specified otherwise.
