v0.1.9

What's new

• Self-hosted iroh relays. Workers and the Controller can use your own iroh relay instead of the public N0 infrastructure. Set the relay URLs under Settings in either WebUI, or [iroh] relay_urls in config.toml / controller.toml. With relays configured, nothing is published to or looked up from N0's address service, and the Controller dials a Worker's Endpoint ID through the listed relays. Several relays can be listed; an unreachable one falls back to another.
• Optional public relays next to your own. Also use the public iroh relays (use_public_relays = true) adds N0's public relays to the self-hosted ones. They are chosen by latency alongside yours rather than held in reserve, and public address lookup stays off.
• Workflows a Worker cannot run are rejected when a task is created. Workers validate their workflows on each capability refresh; the Controller refuses tasks and batches whose workflow every Worker rejects, and the Workers page shows the rejected workflows with the Worker's reason.
• Rejected submissions can be retried. A task whose submission the Worker rejected can be retried manually; the uploaded input is submitted again without re-uploading.
• Faster previews of long videos. Preview frames are read by seeking to each sample instead of decoding the video up to the last one. On a 23.7-minute 1080p HEVC file, 10 samples took 3.7 s instead of 78.5 s, and long 4K sources no longer exceed the extraction time limit.

Fixes and reliability

Worker

• Downloads are isolated per job. Downloads with the same file name no longer overwrite each other within a workflow, across concurrent jobs or across CLI runs. Each job downloads into its own directory, which is deleted when the job ends.
• POST /api/run/validate checks a workflow the way POST /api/run does without creating a job (204, or 400 with the same error).
• Changing the relays restarts the iroh endpoint with the same Endpoint ID.

Controller

• Newer Workers stay online. Unknown fields in Worker responses are ignored instead of failing the capability refresh and taking the Worker offline.
• Saved Worker workflows are submitted by name, so workflows listed as name.json run.
• Saved iroh relays apply when the Controller restarts; Settings shows Restart required without locking the scheduler controls.

CI

• The Worker web app's lint and tests run in CI. Dependabot is disabled.

Downloads and Docker

Linux and Windows Worker bundles and standalone Controller archives are available below. Download all parts of a split Worker bundle before extracting the .7z.001 file.

• Worker: controlnet/videnoa:0.1.9
• Controller: controlnet/videnoa-controller:0.1.9

Both image repositories also publish latest. The Controller does not require a GPU.

Upgrade

Back up Worker configuration and Controller data before upgrading. Keep the same persistent directories when replacing containers.

• Existing configurations keep using the public N0 relays; nothing changes until relays are configured.
• With self-hosted relays, the Worker and the Controller must list the same relays and make the same public-relay choice, otherwise they cannot reach each other.
• Tasks whose workflow every Worker rejects now fail at creation with a workflow field error instead of failing after submission. Workers older than v0.1.9 do not report validation (404), so their workflows stay eligible.
• A v0.1.9 Controller works with v0.1.8 Workers, and v0.1.9 Workers keep the response fields older Controllers require.
• Files downloaded by a job are deleted when the job ends; keep a copy elsewhere if a workflow relied on them remaining in the system temporary directory.

See the Worker and Docker instructions, Controller archive and Docker guide, Controller reference and iroh guide.
