Migration Guide: Unified Navigation
This migration has been reverted as of
v6.0.0-rc.6. Pulse v6 ships with the platform-shaped top-level navigation existing v5 operators already know (Proxmox, Docker, Kubernetes, TrueNAS, vSphere, Machines, plus Alerts, Patrol, and Settings). The unified/infrastructure//workloads//storage//recoverylayout that briefly shipped acrossrc.1throughrc.5is retired. The unified resource model and/api/resourcescontract remain on the backend.If you have automation, bookmarks, or runbooks targeting the unified routes, point them at the platform-shaped equivalents instead:
/infrastructure?source=pmg→/proxmox/mail-gateway(or the relevant Proxmox sub-page)/workloads?type=k8s→/kubernetes/storage→ the platform-shaped Storage views on each platform page/recovery→ the platform-shaped Recovery / Backups views on each platform page (the underlying/api/recovery/*contract is unchanged)The keyboard shortcuts follow the platform-shaped shape:
g pProxmox,g dDocker,g kKubernetes,g nTrueNAS,g vvSphere,g sMachinesg aAlerts,g rPatrol,g tSettings,?shortcuts helpThe "Classic shortcuts" bar referenced in the historical content below is not part of the shipped product; ignore that aid.
The rest of this document is preserved as historical context for the
rc.1throughrc.5line.
Historical context (rc.1 through rc.5 only)
The content below describes the unified-navigation migration that
shipped across rc.1 through rc.5 and was reverted in rc.6. It is
kept as a historical record so links from earlier release notes still
resolve. None of it describes the shipped product as of rc.6 or later.
What Changed (historical)
- Navigation was organized by task (Infrastructure, Workloads, Storage, Recovery) instead of by platform.
- Legacy pages (Proxmox Overview, Hosts, Docker, Services, Kubernetes) were replaced by unified views.
- Global search and keyboard shortcuts make navigation faster across all resources.
- Kubernetes was split by intent:
- Infrastructure showed Kubernetes clusters and nodes.
- Workloads showed Kubernetes pods with the same filters/grouping as VMs and containers.
Why This Change (historical)
- A unified resource model enables one inventory and one search across platforms.
- Filters, drawers, and workflows stay consistent, instead of being re-implemented per platform page.
- New integrations can be added without expanding the top-level navigation indefinitely.
Legacy Aliases and Redirects (historical)
- Legacy aliases have been fully removed; update bookmarks and runbooks to canonical routes.
- Optional migration aid: enable the Classic shortcuts bar in the main navigation (Settings → System → General).
- Plan automation/bookmarks to use canonical routes now:
/infrastructure?source=pmg/workloads?type=k8s
Where Old Pages Moved (historical)
| Legacy Page | New Location (rc.1-rc.5) |
|---|---|
| Proxmox Overview | /infrastructure |
| Hosts | /infrastructure |
| Docker | /workloads (containers) + /infrastructure (hosts) |
| Proxmox Storage | /storage |
| Proxmox Backups | /recovery |
| Proxmox Replication | /recovery?view=events&mode=remote |
| Proxmox Ceph | /ceph (summary also visible in Storage) |
| Proxmox Mail Gateway | /infrastructure?source=pmg |
| Services | /infrastructure?source=pmg |
| Kubernetes | /workloads?type=k8s |
New Features to Know (historical)
Global Search
- Press
/to focus search. - Search by name, node, type, tags, or status.
- Results navigate directly to the relevant view.
- Use
Cmd/Ctrl+Kfor the command palette.
Keyboard Shortcuts (historical, rc.1-rc.5 shape)
g i→ Infrastructureg w→ Workloadsg s→ Storageg b→ Recoveryg a→ Alertsg t→ Settings?→ Shortcut help
Debug Drawer (Optional)
- Enable with localStorage key
pulse_debug_modefor raw JSON in resource drawer.
Tips (historical)
- If you used Docker and Hosts pages before, start with Infrastructure (hosts) and Workloads (containers).
- If you used the Kubernetes page before, use Infrastructure for cluster/node health and Workloads for pod-level operations.
- The new pages support unified filters, tags, and search across all sources.
