Version 1.3.0

Overview​

Version 1.3.0 introduces configurable password policies, a new application logs viewer for administrators, locale-aware weekday display, and several user experience improvements. This release focuses on enhanced administrative tools and improved internationalisation support.

New Features​

Configurable Password Policy​

  • Password policy environment variables: Configure password validation requirements via environment variables:
    • PWD_ENFORCE: Set to false to disable password complexity requirements (uppercase, lowercase, numbers). Defaults to enforcing all rules. When disabled, only minimum length is enforced.
    • PWD_MIN_LEN: Sets minimum password length in characters. Defaults to 8 characters.
    • The default password check (preventing use of default admin password) is always enforced regardless of PWD_ENFORCE setting.

Application Logs Viewer​

  • New admin-only logs viewer: View and download application logs directly from the Settings page:
    • Access the consolidated application.log file and rotated log versions
    • Configurable line count selector (100, 500, 1000, 5000, 10000 lines)
    • Real-time search filter with case-insensitive text matching
    • Auto-scroll toggle for real-time log monitoring with automatic polling
    • Copy to clipboard and export filtered logs as text file
    • File metadata display showing line count, file size, and last modified timestamp
    • Log rotation on container startup (configurable via LOG_ROTATION_VERSIONS, default: 5)

Context-Aware User Guide​

  • Dynamic help button: The User Guide button in the app header now opens documentation relevant to the current page. The tooltip updates to show "Help for [Page Name]" to indicate which documentation will be opened.

Server Configuration Enhancement​

  • Quick access to Duplicati UI: Right-clicking the server configuration button or any server item in the server selection popover opens the Duplicati legacy UI (/ngax) in a new tab.

🔧 Improvements​

Locale-Aware Weekday Display​

  • Internationalised weekday ordering: Weekday display in the overdue monitoring form now respects your browser's locale settings. Weekdays are displayed in the correct order based on locale (Monday-Sunday for UK/Europe, Sunday-Saturday for US/Brazil).

Enhanced SMTP Error Handling​

  • Improved error messages: SMTP error messages now provide more accurate guidance:
    • Authentication errors clearly indicate username/password issues
    • SSL/TLS version errors are correctly identified
    • Connection type suggestions only appear when genuinely relevant

Toast Notification Behaviour​

  • Persistent error notifications: Error toasts now persist until manually closed, ensuring you don't miss important error messages. Success and informational toasts auto-dismiss after 3 seconds.

Notification Settings Table​

  • Simplified layout: The notification settings table has been streamlined with a combined "Server / Backup" column and contextual icons indicating additional destination configuration status.

🚀 Migration Notes​

From Version 1.2.x​

When upgrading to version 1.3.0:

  1. Password Policy: The new password policy defaults to enforcing all complexity requirements. If you need a simpler password policy, configure the PWD_ENFORCE and PWD_MIN_LEN environment variables.

  2. Application Logs: All container output (server and cron service) is now consolidated into a single data/logs/application.log file.

  3. Log Rotation: Log rotation is configurable via the LOG_ROTATION_VERSIONS environment variable (default: 5 versions).

  4. No Database Migration Required: This release does not require any database schema changes.

API Endpoints​

The following API endpoint has been introduced in this version:

Password Policy Endpoint​

  • GET /api/auth/password-policy - Returns current password policy configuration

Application Logs Endpoints​

  • GET /api/application-logs - View logs with file selection and tail functionality
  • GET /api/application-logs/export - Export filtered logs as text file

Removed Endpoints​

The following unused API endpoints have been removed in this version:

  • DELETE /api/backups/[backupId] - Development-only endpoint that was never used
  • GET /api/audit-log/stats - Endpoint was not called by the audit log viewer
