  • LDAP Integration: vME now supports integration with Active Directory via LDAP, allowing centralised authentication and improved enterprise security alignment.
  • ZFS Pool Disk Discovery: When creating a ZFS storage pool, vME now automatically retrieves and displays available disks and partition information, simplifying storage configuration and reducing manual effort.

Enhancements

  • Operating System Disk Protection: System disks are now clearly identified and protected from accidental pool creation, reducing risk during storage configuration.
  • Improved Logging: Logging has been enhanced to provide clearer, more structured messages to assist with troubleshooting and operational visibility.
  • CLI Alignment: The CLI has been updated to align with the latest API capabilities, ensuring consistent behaviour across interfaces.
  • Container Image Pull Refresh: Added automatic refresh during container image pulls to provide better visibility into progress.
  • Dark Mode Improvements: Improved text consistency and readability in Dark Mode.
  • Frontend Stability Improvements: Addressed UI refresh behaviour and improved overall frontend responsiveness.
