Backend:
- overrides.py: read/write /data/models-overrides.yaml (knobs + custom entries)
- apply_knobs_to_args(): strip matching flags from bundled vllm_args and append knob values, so knob changes properly override bundled defaults
- extract_knobs_from_args(): seed UI knob values from bundled args so the Advanced dialog has correct starting state
- models.py: load_catalog merges overrides on top of bundled yaml
- GET /api/models returns effective_knobs per model
- PUT /api/models/{key}/knobs persists knob changes
- POST /api/models adds a custom catalog entry
- DELETE /api/models/{key} removes a custom entry (bundled models cannot be deleted)
- swap_manager.reload_catalog() called after each mutation so swaps see latest
Frontend:
- New 'Advanced' button on every card opens a modal dialog: max-model-len input, gpu-memory-utilization slider, three optimization checkboxes (fastsafetensors, prefix caching, FP8 KV cache). Save persists; Cancel discards. Custom models also have a Delete button.
- After a successful download, automatically open the 'Add to catalog' dialog pre-filled with the repo, with the same knob defaults — user just enters key, display name, and clicks Save.
- Custom catalog entries are tagged with a blue 'custom' pill on the card.
Package: bump 0.2.3:0; main.ts sets MODELS_OVERRIDES=/data/models-overrides.yaml so overrides persist on the StartOS volume.
Backend:
- updates.py: get_update_status() runs git fetch + git rev-list --left-right --count HEAD...origin/main to learn ahead/behind/dirty, plus git log for pending commits
- UpdateManager class with asyncio.Lock; one update at a time
- POST /api/updates/apply triggers "git pull --ff-only && ./build-and-copy.sh -c" over SSH with streamed log + phase detection (Pulling / Building the vLLM container / Copying to peer Sparks)
- GET /api/updates returns {ok, behind, ahead, dirty, current, log[], branch}
Frontend:
- Persistent banner near footer: hidden when up-to-date, blue when N commits behind, warn (orange) when local dirty changes block update
- 'Show details' expands a list of pending commits
- 'Apply update' triggers the long-running build with phase + elapsed timer + collapsible logs
- Confirmation dialog explains the 5–40 min duration
Package: bump 0.2.2:0
Dashboard:
- New 'Always-on services' section with cards for Parakeet and Magpie
- Each card: host:port, model loaded, status pill (Healthy/Unhealthy/Starting/Not configured)
- Start, Restart, Stop buttons. Buttons disabled when not applicable for current state
- Restart counter shown when > 1 (would have surfaced the old magpie crash loop)
Backend:
- New /api/services GET: docker container state + http health for each support service
- New POST /api/services/{name}/{action} for start | stop | restart
- services.py module: docker_state, run_action via SSH
- config.py: PARAKEET_HOST/USER/CONTAINER and MAGPIE_* env vars, default to spark2_*
- health.py: use per-service hosts (no longer hard-wired to spark2_host)
Package:
- sparkConfig.yaml.ts: add 6 new optional fields
- configureSparks action: optional 'Parakeet host', 'Parakeet container', 'Magpie host', 'Magpie container' fields; descriptions explain they default to Spark 2 when blank
- Handler normalizes nulls to empty strings before merge
- main.ts: pass new env vars to container
- bump to 0.2.0:0
- showPublicKey now uses result.group: install command and raw key are each their own one-click copy box; description is brief
- /api/endpoints returns stable shape { vllm, parakeet, magpie } with base_url + model + ready, for other LAN services to consume without hardcoding Spark IPs
- health.py: parakeet/magpie now also expose base_url
- README: documented /api/endpoints shape
- configureSparks.ts: generic placeholders (e.g. 192.168.1.10), no Alice-specific IPs; descriptions explain the role of each node instead of naming his hardware
- showPublicKey.ts: reads sparkConfig.yaml; emits a ready-to-paste one-liner (KEY='...' followed by 'ssh user@host "echo $KEY >> authorized_keys"' for each configured Spark). Falls back to generic instructions if Configure Sparks hasn't been run yet.
- /api/status now includes vllm.base_url for the OpenAI endpoint
- New endpoint panel in UI: base URL + model ID rows with copy buttons + collapsible curl example
- Bump version to 0.1.0:1
- models.yaml: add 'description' field for all 5 models (generic, anyone-can-use)
- ModelDef gains optional description: str | None field
- UI: render description below meta tags; mute the repo line further
- escapeHtml() for safety in case descriptions/names contain HTML chars
- Update runbook: how to add a new model with description
