Stack Desktop 0.5.0

A window and a menu bar app for the groups, sites, services and repositories
Stack serves on your machine.

Installing

  • macOS on Apple silicon: brew install --cask luewell/brew/stack-desktop,
    which also installs Stack, or the .dmg below.
  • Linux on arm64 or amd64: the .deb, .rpm or .AppImage below.
  • Windows on x64: the -setup.exe or the .msi below.

The macOS app is signed with Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so macOS
opens it without asking. The Windows installers are not code signed:
SmartScreen warns about an unrecognized app, so choose More info, then Run
anyway.

What's new

  • Spanish: the window, the menu bar menu and the app's dialogs speak English
    or Spanish, following the system's language or the one chosen in the new
    Settings page, which the button at the foot of the group rail opens. What
    Stack itself writes, such as warnings, errors and logs, stays as Stack
    writes it.
  • Serve a plain folder: Add a repository offers to serve a folder without a
    stack.yaml as a static site, as stack serve does.
  • Logs start with the last 500 lines, and Show everything follows a log from
    its first line.
  • Disk lists the logs nothing writes any more, left by sites and services
    that are gone, and deletes them with the unused versions.
  • The Map links the S3 gateway to the repository declaring the service and to
    the service itself.
  • A repository moved or deleted after it was served shows as Missing, with
    Forget; serving it from its new place takes the registration over.
  • Renaming a group from Configuration says that its PostgreSQL and S3 data
    goes along on the next Bring up.
  • Every form checks its fields as you type and names the first problem
    beside Review the change.
  • Doctor offers Set up this machine when a check needs attention and reads
    the checks again while it is open; Machine shows the command each button
    runs.
  • On Windows and Linux the window draws its own title bar controls, and on
    every platform it opens at 1180×740 and enlarges to at most 1600×1000.
  • A new look across the app, with the page header, panels, tables, badges and
    dialogs built on shadcn-vue.

Requirements

Stack 2.23.0 or later, which the app installs itself. With an older Stack,
Logs starts with the last 200 lines, Disk lists no logs and the Map draws no
link to the S3 gateway.
