PocketHost 0.8.0 Release Notes
PocketHost is the zero-config 'PocketBase in the cloud' platform. Thank you for everyone's continued support for this project.
What's New
There are several MAJOR changes in this release.
New Instance UI
The instance UI in the dashboard has been redesigned to improve organization and clarity.
Danger Zone
A new accordion tab, Danger Zone, has been added. This tab contains potentially harmful or destructive settings for your PocketBase instance.
Rename Instance
Instances can now be renamed.
Instance Permalink
Every instance is accessible from https://<uuid>.pockethost.io
Maintenance Mode
You can now put your PocketHost instance in Maintenance Mode. Maintenance mode will shut down any running copies of the instance and keep it shut down until you take it out of maintenance mode. This is helpful for backups and restores in particular.
Stability Improvements
In this release, the code managing the launching and shutting down of instances has been completey reworked. The result is dramatically improved stability and performance.
Stress Testing
Each release of PocketHost is now tested with 500 simultaneous requests to hundreds of different PocketBase instances. Stress testing revealed some rare error conditions which have been corrected.
