Vortex v2.0.0: The Action & Reliability Update

Vortex v2.0.0 is our biggest release yet. We’ve transformed Vortex from an incredible observation dashboard into a full-fledged operational powerhouse. You no longer need to drop out of Vortex into a raw SSH session to get things done—everything from managing firewalls to deploying code can now be handled via our blistering-fast TUI.

New Features & Modules

The Action Layer

• Safe File Manager: Browse your server's filesystem, read files, and write to restricted files with built-in, automated sudo privilege elevation.
• Security & Firewall Center: Manage UFW rules dynamically (allow/deny, tcp/udp) and monitor Fail2Ban jails directly from the UI.
• Smart Cron Manager: Create, view, and safely edit cron jobs. As you type a raw cron schedule (e.g., 0 2 * * *), Vortex translates it into human-readable English in real-time!
• Secrets Editor: Safely view and manage environment variables across your server.
• Deployments: Trigger custom build and restart commands, and monitor deployment stdout logs directly from the terminal.
• Database & Proxy Managers: View database configurations and dynamically manage reverse proxy rules.
• Live Log Viewer: Stream real-time logs from various sources across your server.
• SSL Certificate Manager: Monitor SSL certificates, check expiration dates, and seamlessly renew them.

The Reliability & Governance Layer

• Uptime Monitors: Track external service uptime and response times visually. Targets are now fully customizable via config.yaml.
• Backup & Snapshot Managers: Configure automated backup schedules with retention policies and manage state snapshots.
• Users & SSH Keys: Manage system users and audit their authorized SSH keys.
• Audit & Alerts: View historical audit logs and system alerts in a centralized location.

Core UI & Quality of Life Improvements

• Fuzzy-Finding Command Palette (Ctrl+P): Jump to any module instantly. You can now also use the Command Palette to change UI Themes dynamically (Tokyo Night, Dracula, Nord, Catppuccin, Gruvbox) without restarting the app!
• Keyboard-First Focus: Global hotkeys are now intelligently suspended when you are actively typing inside a text input or editor, preventing accidental tab-switching mid-sentence.
• Live Telemetry Fixes: CPU utilization now correctly utilizes a delta time-window to display real, fluctuating CPU percentages instead of flatlining.
• Dynamic Configuration: The config.yaml file has been significantly expanded to support customizing Uptime targets, Backup retention schedules, and more.
