The Turkish catalog had not been extracted since 2024: of the panel's
1727 messages, 817 were missing and 489 carried old fuzzy guesses, so
most pages, dialogs and messages showed in English, and some fuzzy
guesses said something else.
The catalog is extracted again (obsolete entries dropped) and every
message is translated, the earlier terms kept (Sanal Makine, Sunucu,
Depolama havuzu, Birim, Anlık görüntü), placeholders and markup checked
against the English. The Settings page's names and descriptions come
from the database through migrations that did not mark them for
translation; they are marked now (gettext_noop, the stored values
unchanged), so they are in the catalog too.
The top of a VM's page was one line of values between pipes, an icon for
the guest agent and a hidden snapshot count, then a row of big action
icons; the host links sat in a bar fixed to the bottom of the window,
over the content.
One card now holds it all (design chosen by the owner from four):
- the name with the state badge, the title under it, and where the VM
is: its host and the host's VM list for administrators, the VM list
for owners;
- OS details (with a connected guest agent) and Refresh;
- the guest agent's state in words and the snapshot count;
- CPU, memory, each disk with its device name and size, and the IPv4
addresses, labelled;
- the page's sections as small labelled pills in the card's footer: one
row from 992 px, wrapping below.
The page has no other heading: base.html's heading area is a block it
leaves out.
Each section below it (Power, Access, Resize, Snapshot, Settings, Stats,
Destroy) is a card of the same kind, so the page reads as one design
(owner's choice of two): its sub-tabs as a small underlined nav in the
card's header, its panes in the card's body without their own borders.
Buttons are of normal size in the theme's primary colour, and those that
cannot be undone (Power Cycle, Force Off, Destroy) in the danger colour.
The Stats charts lose their coloured borders. instance_tabs.js finds the
Settings tabs by their tablist role.
The bottom bar and its setting (VIEW_INSTANCE_DETAIL_BOTTOM_BAR) are
removed, and with it the CSS that kept the old Settings tabs on one line.
- A named CPU model is written without check='none' and with
fallback='forbid': libvirt checks before the start that the host runs
it, and it is not swapped for another model.
- Mode maximum is written as that mode; it was written as a model named
maximum.
- Model names up to 64 characters: the -noTSX and -IBRS models, the ones a
mixed set of hosts needs, were refused at 20.
- The mode or model is checked against the host's capabilities when the VM
is defined, from the page and the API alike; no CPU element (QEMU's
oldest default CPU) is no longer offered.
- The default CPU mode setting offers the modes the new VM dialog has;
no-model and custom, which matched none of them, become host-model.
The descriptions were tooltips, many only repeating the setting's name
("Cpu modes", "Debug for user quotas"). Now shown under each field, they
say what the setting changes: what a new VM or disk gets, how the
console starts, what a page shows. A migration writes them.
The Settings page saved whatever was posted, and some lists offered
values the panel cannot use:
- Quota Debug could not be turned off: "False" is a non-empty text and
counted as on.
- VM Clone Name Prefix showed as a True/False list, so no prefix could
be typed, and touching it set the prefix to True.
- Disk SCSI Controller listed " lsilogic" with a space, never shown as
chosen, and virtio-blk, which is no SCSI controller.
- VM Machine Type listed x86_64, an architecture; VM CD-ROM Device
listed virtio, a bus a CD-ROM cannot use.
- Logs per Page and Disk Owner UID/GID are read with int(): a letter
broke the logs page and VM create.
A migration fixes the lists and moves a value they no longer offer to
the default (the clone prefix keeps its text). A listed setting now
takes one of its choices, and every number setting a whole number in
its range, checked before it is saved.
A theme change compiled Bootswatch with libsass (34 MB, upstream
deprecated) into two tracked files, which updates, rollbacks and new
Docker containers then reset. The 27 themes now ship as
static/css/themes/<theme>.min.css, built by "manage.py build_themes";
the Settings page only saves the theme name and every page links that
file (zephyr when no settings are in context, as on the 500 page).
libsass moves to dev/requirements.txt; a test checks that each shipped
file is its theme compiled from dev/scss. The "Theme SASS Path" setting
is removed, and the theme default "flaty", a typo that never applied,
becomes zephyr, the theme those installs showed. The update and
rollback steps restore an older version's rewritten theme files only
where they are modified.
A disk-only snapshot was taken without any space check, though its
overlays grow as the guest writes and a later delete merges them down;
a full pool pauses the guest and can leave the snapshot undeletable.
Only a memory snapshot was checked, for the memory alone.
Before a snapshot, each storage pool with a disk of the VM must have
free a share of those disks' virtual size (10%, at least 1 GiB), and
the pool of the memory file the VM's memory on top. Both values are on
the Settings page (Snapshot Free Percent, Snapshot Free Min GiB; 0
turns a rule off, an invalid value keeps the default). The pools are
refreshed first, and a failed refresh or an unreadable volume refuses
the snapshot instead of skipping the check; a disk in no pool is not
checked. Nothing is reserved: later writes can still fill a pool.
A volume of an LVM or iSCSI pool can be attached: by its own path, with
the format its volume reports (raw when the pool knows none). Detaching
a disk takes each definition's own description of it, so a disk only in
the persistent definition goes too. Every NIC type can be a boot device;
bridge and direct NICs were dropped from the boot order. The video model
is a value, never parsed as XML. QoS changes clear the page's read cache.
The NIC model "default" leaves the choice to libvirt instead of writing
model "default", and rt18139 is rtl8139: a VM with either did not start
(checked on a RHEL 10 host). A migration corrects the default NIC type
setting.
The first appsettings migrations insert the default rows with fixed ids,
which a PostgreSQL id sequence does not see; the login lockout migration,
the first to insert without an id, then collided with id 1. It now moves
the sequence past the existing rows first (a no-op on sqlite), which also
covers a database upgraded from any earlier migration. A test compute
password exceeded its 14-character column, which only PostgreSQL enforces.
With "VM Clone Auto Migrate" on, a new clone was migrated to a random
compute, whatever storage, CPU or network that host had, and a failed
migration showed as a failed clone although the clone existed.
The setting and its code are removed; migration appsettings.0015
deletes the setting. A clone can be migrated afterwards like any VM.
The README's update notes list the migration changes: the migration
address, storage pools for the disk check, and this setting.
Nothing limited failed logins: a password could be guessed at the speed
the server answers. django-axes (8.3.1, Django 5.2, Python 3.10-3.13)
now counts them.
- A user is locked for the address the failed logins come from
(username and IP together), so an attacker cannot lock someone out
from elsewhere and users behind one NAT address do not share a lock.
A successful login resets the count. axes sits in front of every
authentication: the login page with or without OTP, LDAP and the API.
- The number of failed logins (default 5) and the lock time in minutes
(default 15) are on the Settings page (LOGIN_FAILURE_LIMIT,
LOGIN_LOCKOUT_MINUTES, added by migration appsettings.0014) and apply
at once; an invalid value falls back to the default. Unlock with
"manage.py axes_reset_username <username>".
- Behind the bundled nginx every request comes from 127.0.0.1; the
client address is read from X-Real-IP, which nginx sets, but only for
requests from a loopback address or from LOGIN_TRUSTED_PROXIES, so a
forged header does not escape a lock.
settings.py.template gets the app, middleware, backend and AXES_*
settings; README tells existing installations what to copy. Tests that
call client.login now pass a request, which the axes backend needs.
The new tests fail with axes disabled.
SPICE was removed earlier; its leftovers and the console type choice go
too:
- the console settings form, update_console and the backend no longer
offer or change the type; an invalid console form now shows its
errors instead of being ignored;
- the create form, the API serializer and create_instance no longer take
a graphics type, new VMs get VNC; get_graphics_types and the graphics
entries of the domain capabilities are gone;
- migration appsettings.0013 deletes QEMU_CONSOLE_DEFAULT_TYPE;
- a VM defined elsewhere with another graphics type gets "Console type
... is not supported".
The locale catalogs still reference the deleted SPICE templates in
source comments; regenerating them is left to the translation work.
Super-linter ran from the unpinned :latest image and, because of
branches-ignore: [master], never on pull requests to master. Ruff now
checks syntax errors and pyflakes rules (E9, F) on every push and PR.
Fixes the existing findings: unused imports and variables, an unused
duplicate import in instances/tests.py, and the star import in
accounts/views.py. settings-dev.py keeps its star import of the base
settings.
