Root cause: docker compose down killed the nohup script inside the
container before rebuild could complete — only git pull was visible
(updated VERSION file).
Changes:
- update_host.sh: new host-side watchdog (poll .update_trigger every 3s)
runs: git pull → docker compose down → build --no-cache app → up -d
PROJECT_DIR and User are dynamic (set at install time, not hardcoded)
- update_service.py: perform_update() now writes .update_trigger instead
of running git/docker commands inside the container
- deploy.sh: added install_update_watchdog() + --watchdog CLI option;
generates /etc/systemd/system/pvemanager-update.service dynamically
with correct User= and WorkingDirectory= for any install path/user
- .gitignore: ignore .update_trigger and generated systemd/ files
- CHANGELOG, VERSION, WIKI: bump to v1.1.1, document new update flow
- Updated `backend/app/main.py`: Added automatic execution of `/app/init_admin.py` during application startup to create default admin account
- Modified `.gitignore`: Removed `.env` from ignored files to ensure environment configuration is available during deployment
- Enhanced `lifespan` context manager: Integrated admin initialization with proper error handling and logging
- Improved startup reliability: Ensures default credentials are provisioned regardless of deployment environment
The fix ensures that new deployments automatically set up the default admin user, resolving widespread issues with missing login credentials. The change is robust, idempotent, and logs all initialization steps for debugging.
