Today we’re releasing Octofleet v0.4.38 — our biggest update yet! This release introduces Service Orchestration, completing all 18 planned epics and making Octofleet a truly enterprise-ready endpoint management platform.

🎯 What’s New: Service Orchestration

The star of this release is our new Service Orchestration system. Define service templates, deploy them to nodes, and let the agent automatically maintain the desired state.

Key Features

  • Service Classes — Define reusable templates (nginx, PostgreSQL, custom apps)
  • Role-Based Deployment — Assign nodes with roles (primary, replica, web, loadbalancer)
  • Health Checks — HTTP, TCP, Process, and Windows Service monitoring
  • Drift Detection — Automatically detect configuration drift
  • Auto-Healing — Agents continuously reconcile to the desired state

Reference Service Templates

We’ve included production-ready templates:

Template Type Description
nginx-webserver Cluster Load-balanced web servers (1-10 nodes)
postgresql-single Single Standalone PostgreSQL database
postgresql-cluster Cluster Primary-replica PostgreSQL (2-5 nodes)

How It Works

              └──────────┘  └──────────┘  └──────────┘

The new ServiceReconciliationPoller in the agent:

  1. Polls assigned services from the server
  2. Compares current state with desired state
  3. Installs missing packages (winget → choco fallback)
  4. Applies configuration templates
  5. Runs health checks
  6. Reports status back to the dashboard
