Jun 17, 2026Graceful Edge Restarts (Fewer 500s During Maintenance)
Firewall daemon grace holds instance traffic up to 60s while the edge restarts. Instance containers stay running and reattach on boot instead of cold-starting.

Before Mothership v0.39 cutover: Vitest suite, CI gates, phased deps refresh, PocketBase SDK 0.27, dual admin auth for 0.22 Mothership.
Jun 14, 2026Pre-Staging the Mothership v0.39 Cutover
Two-phase upgrade: dual admin auth and dependency bumps on main first, zero lockfile changes on the v39 branch, SQL views dropped early. Cutover day flips Mothership only.

Jun 13, 2026Reclaiming 300 GB of Orphan Instance Data
Edge cleanup removed instance folders with no Mothership record. First production sweep freed ~300 GB, nearly half the used space on that node.
Jun 13, 2026How We Vacuum Thousands of Instances Without Racing Spawns
Edge-owned vacuum locks, spawn gates, and incremental --hours-back sweeps keep nightly SQLite compaction safe at fleet scale.
Jun 13, 2026Vacuum Now: On-Demand SQLite Compaction
Auto Vacuum runs on idle instances overnight. Vacuum Now lets you compact warm instances from the dashboard when you need space back immediately.
Jun 13, 2026Smarter Rate Limits for API vs File Traffic
Firewall rate limits now weight /api/files routes 10× cheaper than REST API calls. More headroom for uploads and downloads without loosening API abuse protection.
Jun 13, 2026Auto Vacuum for Idle Instances
Nightly SQLite VACUUM on hibernated instances. On by default, toggle per instance, and skip running containers until they sleep.

Jun 13, 2026Your logs.db Might Be Gigabytes of Empty Space
PocketBase log retention deletes rows but SQLite keeps the disk. Our Mothership logs.db was 6.5 GB for ~1,800 records. Vacuum fixed it in seconds.
Jun 13, 2026Instance Status That Survives Restarts
Dashboard instance status stays honest across Mothership and edge restarts. One mirror sync handshake instead of stale guesses.
Jun 13, 2026A Leaner Runtime on Node 24
We dropped 100+ lockfile packages by moving to Node 24 natives. Same hosting behavior, lighter stack, and deliberate prep for a future Bun soak.
Jun 12, 2026Running, Sleeping, and Power Off
Power off now stops your container for real. The dashboard shows Running vs Sleeping, and destructive actions wait for shutdown.
