Vui 0.3.3, released with Helm Chart v1.0.4, introduces powerful new configuration options and improvements aimed at enhancing flexibility, performance, and deployment clarity. This release focuses on API caching, protocol customization, alerting integration, and broader support for diverse environments.

🔧 What's New​

⏱️ Configurable API Response Caching​

You can now configure the in-memory Time To Live (TTL) for cached GET API responses using the new:

uiService:
  config:
    cacheTTL: 180

The cacheTTL value defines how long the frontend should retain API responses before revalidating them. This caching mechanism works in tandem with a watch-based event system: when changes occur in Kubernetes resources, the frontend automatically refreshes the relevant data in real time—ensuring up-to-date views without sacrificing performance.

🌐 Protocol Configuration for ClusterIP Mode​

For deployments where exposure.mode is set to clusterIP, you can now explicitly configure:

exposure:
  mode: clusterIP
  
  clusterIP:
    protocol: http
    wsProtocol: ws
    localAddress:
    apiPort:

🔔 Apprise Notification Integration​

The Helm chart now supports notification integration using Apprise, a powerful notification library.

You can enable it with:

watchdogService:
  config:
    apprise: ""

This feature enables alerts and messages to be sent through multiple channels, including email, messaging apps, and more.

🐳 Docker Deployment Support​

Vui can now be deployed seamlessly in Docker environments without requiring Kubernetes or cluster mode configuration.
This makes it easier to run the application in local development setups, CI pipelines, or lightweight production scenarios.

🧩 Improved Template Flexibility​

We've refined the chart templates to better support various installation scenarios and custom setups. These improvements enhance compatibility across cloud environments and deployment pipelines.

🔄 Component Updates​

  • 📦 appVersion: upgraded to 0.3.3
  • 🚀 API: updated to version 0.2.7
  • 🎨 UI: updated to version 0.2.7

These updates bring performance improvements, bug fixes, and UI refinements aligned with the core application updates.

📦 How to Upgrade​

To upgrade to the latest version:

helm repo update
helm upgrade my-release seriohub/vui --version 1.0.4
