Today's Development Highlights: Docker Updates, UI Improvements & Performance Boosts
What developments have taken place today?
This commit streamlines the Docker setup for remote daemon services by unifying image creation and entrypoint management. Key improvements include updating the base Docker image to ensure consistency across all services, standardizing entrypoints using a Go build tool (air) for faster rebuilds triggered by file system changes, and adding environment variables for monitoring configuration. Furthermore, the commit incorporates Gitlab keys for secure repository access and implements an inotify-tools based monitoring loop for automated code deployment upon .go file modifications. Temporary SQL scripts have been added to facilitate development and testing with synthetic data. Dependency updates were also applied.
Additionally, the commit addresses several UI/UX enhancements: directory creation logic is implemented to prevent errors during file operations, the “ID” column in tables now displays concatenated values with a period separator, and a new user edit page has been introduced, allowing users to update their profile information (email, timezone, locale) via a web interface. The styling of table cells dynamically changes color based on data status using custom CSS classes and icons.
Finally, the commit refactors data retrieval from Redis, utilizing aggregated metrics and fixed timestamps for improved API response efficiency and clarity. The code also updates how URL metrics are saved to streamline the process. A new controller has been implemented for handling Server-Sent Events (SSE), enabling real-time domain updates.
In summary, these changes significantly improve deployment reliability, maintainability, user experience, and data retrieval performance, creating a more robust and efficient system for managing remote daemon services.
