UDM 1.0.18 RC1

UDM 1.0.18 RC1 introduces command-line downloads and secure SSH-based Remote control,
plus a set of UI and download-list improvements.

Remote control

  • Added a Remote configuration dialog.
  • Added dedicated Remote users for authenticated SSH access.
  • Remote users are restricted to UDM download commands instead of receiving a normal shell.
  • The Remote password is handled by Linux and is not stored in the UDM settings database.
  • Disabled SSH TCP forwarding, agent forwarding, X11, tunnels and TTY for the restricted Remote group.
  • Default external Remote port is 8347.
  • Router/NAT setup uses 8347 → target LAN IP:22.
  • Remote commands can be sent from another UDM installation.
  • Remote commands can also be sent directly with OpenSSH.
  • Windows OpenSSH and PuTTY/Plink examples are documented.
  • Password entry is handled by the SSH client with terminal echo disabled.
  • SSH private-key authentication remains supported.

Command line

New local CLI commands:

udownload add "https://example.com/file.iso"
udownload add "https://example.com/file.iso" --now
udownload add "https://example.com/file.iso" --path "$HOME/Downloads"
udownload add "https://example.com/file.iso" --at "2026-08-13 22:30"

New Remote command:

udownload remote "https://example.com/file.iso" \
  --server 23.53.215.63 \
  --user usrudm \
  --now

The Remote port defaults to 8347.

Filename resolution

CLI additions now resolve a usable filename before inserting the download into the
database. If neither the server nor URL provides a usable filename, UDM fails instead
of creating a generic download entry.

Main-window interaction

  • Active download rows continue refreshing while a context menu is open.
  • Download-list refresh interval is reduced for more responsive live information.
  • Added a visible Remote action in the main toolbar and application menu.

Version

Application, AppStream metadata, browser integration manifests and native host are
updated to version 1.0.18.

Testing

This is an RC1 / pre-release intended for testing before the final 1.0.18 release.
Please report regressions or Remote/CLI issues through GitHub Issues.
