Changelog

Hey all, been a while 👀
Sorry for the radio silence, I was building, just silently and in the background, my productivity seriously slowed down in the past few months due to some personal stuff (some of you may have read old release notes on here and other apps), but regardless, things are a bit more stable now and I do have a bit more time!

This is a pretty major release and it should solve a lot of issues both logical and visual. It also sorts out some security concerns that were building due to dependencies getting cves and outdated node/next versions.

There are some minor/medium features and some optional hardening you can do with env vars.
Please make sure to back up your crontab files before updating as you always should and triple check everything works, cronmaster is a bit of a wild one to release as every environment tends to do cron slightly differently, so I can't predict it all even if you run this within docker.

features

• Disk space and inode usage in the sidebar. Only / by default, add more mounts with DISK_MOUNTS, turn it off with DISABLE_DISK_STATS=true [Feature request] - Disk space and inodes #107
• Schedule a script straight from the Scripts Library, and the edit modal can now pick a library script too [FEATURE REQUEST] Allow adding a script from the Scripts Library to cron schedule #9
• "Run now" works for users with no login shell (nologin, false), falls back to /bin/sh automatically, or force a shell with EXECUTION_SHELL [feature request] Allow execution of crons for exclusive "service" user (a user with no shell) #66
• Translations everywhere: every hardcoded string in the UI now goes through the translation files, Chinese cron descriptions are actually Chinese now, and status colours work in every language Internationalization Issues #89
• HOST_DATA_DIR and HOST_SCRIPTS_DIR to set the host paths yourself instead of relying on docker inspect Enable logging set the wrong wrapper location #87 Prevent container logging paths from reaching the host crontab #109
• Proper system logs with levels and scopes like [cr*nmaster:job]. LOG_LEVEL (error, warn, info, debug), LOG_FORMAT=json, NO_COLOR. Warnings show in orange, secrets are never logged. See howto/LOGGING.md
• Restyled logs viewer that matches the rest of the app a bit better
• Minor mobile layout fixes
• You can now restrict SSO access with OIDC_USER_GROUPS / OIDC_USER_ROLES (basically same as Jotty if you use it)
• Optional login rate limiting with AUTH_MAX_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS and AUTH_LOCKOUT_MINUTES
• Optional SESSION_MAX_AGE_DAYS (default 30, same as before)
• Optional STRICT_EXECUTION_USER=true to refuse running a job as root when its user can't be found on the host
• Optional FRAME_ANCESTORS to control who can embed Cr*nMaster in an iframe

bugfix

• Prevent container logging paths from reaching the host crontab - Thank you @bensynapse
• "Create and start" no longer fails with a generic Server Components error, and failed runs say why (exit code, timeout, signal) BUG create and start new job #92
• Logs no longer get deleted when you refresh the page on filesystems that don't record creation time (NFS, CIFS, some NAS setups) logs delete when I refresh the web gui #94
• Logging in Docker refuses to save a job when the host data path can't be found, instead of writing a path the host can't use, and the real error now shows in the UI Enable logging set the wrong wrapper location #87
• Cloned jobs keep their logging and get their own log folder
• Live logs no longer show duplicated lines and no longer forget the job already finished
• Escape now properly closes modals, so they open again afterwards
• SSO logout actually ends the SSO session, and SSO-only users get a logout button
• The service worker no longer returns a 500
• DELETE /api/cronjobs/[id] works, and PATCH accepts partial updates
• The script path preview in Docker now shows the path that actually gets written to the crontab
• Overall system status now takes disk usage into account
• Various minor/medium security hardening
• Paths with spaces are quoted in new cron lines, hopefully this doesn't break anything for anyone, but spaces were basically broken to begin with.

security

• Made sure all deps with fixes have now been addressed so yarn audit is as clean as it can possibly be
• Node 24 upgrade in Docker and CI
