v0.1.2-alpha

Release Date: 2026-06-26

The second alpha. If v0.1.0 gave Monastery a brain — LLMs, chat, projects, Git — then v0.1.2 gives
it hands: it can now deploy what you build to your own infrastructure, dispatch agentic work to
Hermes, and read its own deployment failures and try to fix them. Still very much alpha: the
deployment paths depend heavily on your own homelab setup and you'll occasionally coach the LLM
through a build — but the core loop of prompt → build → ship to your own boxes now runs end to end.

🚀 Self-Hosting & Deployment (new)

The headline of this release: a Self-Host Wizard that takes a Monastery project, commits it to
your Git forge, and builds + deploys it on your own platform.

Coolify

  • One-click deploy via the Coolify API (Dockerfile build pack)
  • Clone-at-build Dockerfiles — the image clones your repo at build time, so deploys work with
    IP / .local / self-signed hosts that Coolify's normal Git validation rejects
  • Smarter server selection — de-prioritizes the built-in localhost server so apps land on your real
    VPS, with a graceful fallback when a project has no deployment server
  • Deployment persistence (tracks the app UUID) for redeploy-in-place and 404 self-heal
  • Base64 Dockerfile payloads and SSH/Git URL parsing fixes

Dokploy

  • Full git-based deploy over Dokploy's tRPC API (create → save git provider → build type → deploy)
  • Container port auto-detected from the Dockerfile EXPOSE and applied before deploy
  • Fixes for auth, endpoint URLs, the dashboard link, the saveGitProvider schema, and the
    committed-Dockerfile flow (resolves "Github Provider not found" / "select-a-container")

Cloudflare Tunnel (both platforms)

  • Optional auto-wired cloudflared sidecar — paste a tunnel token and Monastery deploys the
    connector for you
  • Apps are published on a stable high host port for LAN + tunnel reachability; point your Cloudflare
    Public Hostname at the returned http://127.0.0.1:<port> service URL

Pocketbase backend (initial)

  • Configure one shared Pocketbase instance in Settings; the wizard injects POCKETBASE_URL
    (build-time and runtime) into deployed apps
  • A toggle-gated instruction set teaches the connected LLM how to build against Pocketbase
    (JS SDK usage, auth, collections) only when you're building a database-backed app

🔧 Deployment Monitoring & AI Auto-Fix (new)

  • Pull a failed deployment's build log straight into chat with one click
  • The connected LLM diagnoses the failure and applies fixes to your project files — then redeploy
  • Graceful fallback: when a platform can't serve the remote build log (a known upstream Dokploy
    limitation, issue #4687), the LLM proactively reviews your Dockerfile/config instead of dead-ending

🤖 AI Agents — Hermes Integration (new)

  • Connect an external Hermes agent in Settings → Hermes Agent (proxied via POST /api/hermes/run)
  • Agent mode toggle routes your chat through the agent instead of the raw LLM
  • Agent roles — Architect, Coder, Reviewer, Tester, Documenter, Deployer — as a selectable lens
    over your messages, multi-select capped at 2
  • Hardened tool-call handling that surfaces Hermes's tool steps inline
  • Shared-workspace docs so Hermes's own file writes show up in your Monastery project

⚡ Smarter Streaming

  • Auto-continue — responses cut off by the model's output-token cap resume automatically
    (capped, abort-aware, and toggleable), so long generations finish without manual clicking
  • Token usage shown per response when the endpoint reports it, accumulated across continuations
  • Provider-aware response handling and token caps (local Ollama vs cloud) to stop premature cut-offs
  • Fixes for runaway continuation loops and SSE stream parsing

🗂️ Workspace & Editor

  • Create and delete files and directories directly from the sidebar
  • File/folder uploads and drag-and-drop in the file tree
  • SVG rendering in the preview pane

🎨 UI & Polish

  • Consolidated chat toolbar — Auto-continue / Pocketbase / Agent-mode toggles collapsed onto a
    single compact row, with agent roles revealed inline when Agent mode is on
  • Refreshed branding and LLM "thinking" animation
  • Numerous compile and stability fixes across the Rust backend and React UI

⚠️ Alpha caveats: deployment behavior depends heavily on your Coolify/Dokploy setup (remote vs.
local build servers, tunnels, registries), and you should expect to occasionally guide the LLM
through a build fix. Back up anything you care about before pointing Monastery at it.
