Changelog

What's new in Kubaros. The appliance updates itself — see Updates in your console.

v0.5.0

AlphaJune 2026
  • Per-cluster internet gateways with bandwidth tiers: pick a speed (50 / 100 / 250 / 500 / 1000 / 10000 Mbit, or your own tiers) when creating a cluster or any time from its Gateway panel. Kubaros NATs the cluster to the internet and shapes it to the chosen tier — no tier means the cluster stays internal/isolated. Bill the tiers in your own system; Kubaros stores no prices.
  • One edge VM per site, reused: the gateway runs on the SAME per-site edge VM as the Remote Connector — so adding gateways to more clusters never spends extra system VMs or public IPs (one VM + at most one public IP per Proxmox site).
  • WAN bridge per Proxmox connection: set the internet-uplink bridge (default vmbr0) for the edge VM, since it can differ on each Proxmox.

v0.4.0

Alpha
  • Observability: a Metrics tab on every cluster shows live per-cluster and per-node CPU, memory and pod usage — also available via the REST API for your own dashboards.
  • etcd backups & restore: take point-in-time etcd snapshots of the control plane, schedule them (daily/weekly) and restore after a failure — straight from the cluster's Backups tab.
  • White-label branding: set your product name, logo and accent colour (and optionally hide "Powered by Kubaros") for the console your customers log into — the public website stays Kubaros.
  • Multiple Proxmox sites: connect any number of Proxmox clusters and choose the default site for new clusters.
  • Kubernetes install option: a Helm chart now ships alongside the VM/compose install, and appliance images are multi-arch (amd64 + arm64).

v0.3.0

AlphaJune 2026
  • Usage-based billing (pay-as-you-go): switch the appliance from fixed quotas to OVH-style metered billing — tenant limits become advisory and never block provisioning.
  • Optional tenant quotas: leave any limit empty for unlimited (clusters, nodes and storage).
  • Per-tenant usage report with CSV export — ready to feed your billing system.
  • Public IP booking & MetalLB: book public IPs from your pools and assign them to clusters — Kubaros installs and configures MetalLB (Layer-2) so LoadBalancer services hand out those addresses. Tenants can self-serve within a max-public-IPs quota.
  • Remote Connector mode: for a centrally-hosted Kubaros, it provisions a tiny WireGuard connector VM on the Proxmox site (one public IP) that securely tunnels into the internal Talos networks — no manual setup. Each site is either Local Appliance or Remote Connector.
  • Per-tenant network isolation: every tenant gets a dedicated VLAN and node subnet from a provider supernet, with generous /16 pod & service CIDRs by default (a /24 pod CIDR is far too small) — configurable globally and per cluster.
  • Management network: define the network your Talos nodes use (auto-SDN with DHCP+SNAT, or an existing bridge) and verify from the console that the appliance can reach it.
  • Stronger tenant isolation: tenants get a scoped console, create clusters without touching infrastructure, and can no longer see other tenants' usage or your Proxmox settings.
  • More reliable updates: the appliance checks the container registry directly, so the version it offers is always one you can actually install — plus 'kubaros check' to compare your version against the latest.

v0.2.0

AlphaJune 2026
  • First-run setup wizard: create the admin, connect & validate Proxmox (version, single-server-vs-cluster, SDN, Ceph) and register public IP ranges.
  • License server & activation: buy a plan on the website, paste the key in your appliance to unlock its tier.
  • Installation registry: every appliance phones home (opt-out via KUBAROS_TELEMETRY=off) so installs get a Community licence and can be assigned to a customer on activation.
  • Public IP pools bound to each Proxmox site — the basis for LoadBalancer IPs.
  • Robust cluster deletion (a cluster can always be removed, even if Proxmox is unreachable).
  • Self-updater with stable/beta/edge channels and host-side apply.

v0.1.0

FoundationMay 2026
  • Initial appliance: dashboard, Proxmox connection & discovery.
  • Talos cluster provisioning, kubeconfig download, live job logs.
  • Multi-tenancy: tenants, projects and role-based access control.
  • REST API with scoped tokens, usage reporting and audit logging.
