rcourtman 3355f7a671 Read host Docker credentials for private registry update checks
Container update detection only ever negotiated anonymous pull tokens, so
containers from registries that reject anonymous digest HEADs pinned a
permanent "authentication required" badge (#1706). The agent already runs
on the Docker host, so the checker now resolves the same credential store
docker pull uses - config.json auths entries, credsStore/credHelpers
credential helpers (docker-credential-<name> get), and Podman's auth.json -
and presents the stored login: Basic auth on Bearer token negotiation and
on the hardcoded Docker Hub / ghcr.io token endpoints, direct answers to
Basic challenges, and the refresh-token grant for identity-token logins
such as Azure ACR.

Credentials never leave the host: they are only presented to the registry
or its token endpoint, helper output stays out of reported check errors,
and lookups are cached in memory for five minutes. Helper names are
validated before exec, and a stale login falls back to the anonymous path
so checks that used to work keep working. Set
PULSE_DISABLE_REGISTRY_CREDENTIALS=true (--disable-registry-credentials)
to keep detection anonymous-only. The agent-lifecycle and security-privacy
subsystem contracts pin the host-local credential boundary.

Pulse documentation

Start here for installation, platform setup, security, operations, and Pulse Intelligence. Commands, configuration keys, image names, API fields, and product identifiers remain untranslated in localized guides.

Start here

  • Install Pulse — signed Proxmox/Linux installation, Docker, Docker Compose, Kubernetes, and first-run setup.
  • Upgrade from Pulse v5 — migration prerequisites, rollback, agent continuity, and post-upgrade checks.
  • Configure Pulse — authentication, notifications, discovery, retention, and system settings.
  • Deployment models — data locations, lifecycle, and differences between supported deployment paths.
  • Troubleshooting and FAQ — common failures, diagnostics, and operator questions.

Localized getting started guides: Deutsch · Español

Platforms and agents

VMware vSphere support is early access. Current builds expose dedicated vSphere inventory and recovery context, but operators should validate the integration against their own vCenter before production use.

Monitoring and operations

Pulse Intelligence

Patrol watch-only analysis is available on Community with a local model or the operator's own provider. Investigation and governed fixes require the relevant Pulse Pro capabilities.

Security, privacy, and access

Plans and managed access

Pulse Cloud is not generally available. Ordinary self-hosted Pulse remains the primary installation path; MSP and Enterprise access are explicit commercial paths rather than defaults in self-hosted setup.

Development and reference

Detailed design notes and dated migration specifications may remain in this directory for maintainers, but they are not operator setup guides unless they are linked from the sections above.
