Installation & Security Verification

Installation Guide & Unsigned Package Notice

Detailed step-by-step instructions for each platform, including how to resolve initial operating system developer warnings.

Why does my operating system show an "Unrecognized Developer" or "SmartScreen" prompt?

We are currently distributing initial production release packages while our commercial organization code-signing certificates (Apple Developer ID and Microsoft Azure Trusted Signing) complete their formal organizational verification.

All Niriksh binaries are compiled in secure, isolated automated pipelines with strict cryptographic provenance. Every package matches the exact SHA-256 hashes registered in our authority database. You only need to follow the standard one-time approval steps below on first launch.

Linux Installation & Package Manager Guide

Ubuntu / Debian / Pop!_OS / Mint (.deb)

We recommend using apt install ./<file>.deb instead of plain dpkg -i because apt automatically resolves and installs any required GTK3 / WebKitGTK runtime dependencies.

# Install with automatic dependency resolution:
sudo apt install ./Niriksh_1.4.0_amd64.deb

* If your Software Center GUI displays "Third-party software", click "Install Anyway".

Universal Portable AppImage (All Linux Distros)
# Make executable and launch immediately without root privileges:
chmod +x Niriksh_1.4.0_amd64.AppImage
./Niriksh_1.4.0_amd64.AppImage
On Ubuntu 24.04+ or modern distributions, if the AppImage does not launch, ensure FUSE runtime is installed: sudo apt install libfuse2t64 (or sudo apt install libfuse2 on Ubuntu 22.04).

SOUDIV Security & Provenance Commitment

Every release binary is bit-for-bit reproducible and verified against the cryptographic SHA-256 hash list.

Package Integrity & SHA-256 Checksums

Verify your download against our cryptographic hash registry before running.

Release Notes — Niriksh 1.4.0 — Fleet Operations, Tunnels, Zero-Footprint Backups, Multi-Log Streamer & 1-Click Incident Remediation

Nov 8, 2026
**Niriksh 1.4.0 is a milestone release delivering seven major infrastructure management features, a high-performance terminal experience, automated in-app updates, and enterprise commercial enhancements.** Niriksh is an agentless server management and observability desktop application developed and licensed exclusively by SOUDIV for Linux, macOS, and Windows. **Zero software, daemons, or temporary files are ever left behind on your target servers** (Rule 2.1). All existing server profiles, credentials, alerts, and licenses from v1.3.0 carry over seamlessly. --- ## ✨ Highlights 1. **Health Incident Timeline & 1-Click Guided Remediation Assistant (Feature 7)** - Autonomous diagnostic incident analyzer evaluating host health (0–100 score). - Instant 1-click single-shot remedies for disk emergencies, journal vacuuming, failed systemd services, cache dropping, and crash log inspections. 2. **Multi-Log Real-Time Streamer & Unified Log Inspector (Feature 6)** - Live streaming log tailer across systemd journals, file logs, and Docker container logs. - Flexible split-pane layouts (1-pane, 2-pane, 4-pane) and Unified Merged Chronological Timeline interleaving logs in real time. 3. **Visual SSH Port Forwarding & Tunnel Studio (Feature 5)** - Complete visual tunnel workbench supporting Local (`-L`), Remote Reverse (`-R`), and Dynamic SOCKS5 (`-D`) proxy routing with live byte counters and connection indicators. 4. **Zero-Footprint Automated Backup & Snapshot Engine (Feature 4)** - Streaming database dumps (`pg_dump`, `mysqldump`), Docker volumes, and system configs streamed directly across SSH stdout straight into local workstation storage without writing temporary archive files to target servers. 5. **Fleet-Wide Batch Operations & Broadcast Runner (Feature 3)** - Multi-node parallel broadcast command execution across server tags or selections with bounded concurrency (1–5 workers) and aggregated status matrix cards. 6. **Runtime Interactive Prompt & Input Bridge in Deployer (Feature 2)** - Real-time heuristic prompt detection (`[y/N]`, `Password:`, tokens) with inline terminal prompt bridges for automated deployment recipes. 7. **In-App Update System with Automatic & Manual Fallback (Feature 1)** - Non-blocking startup release checks against the SOUDIV Authority, top-bar indicator pill, SHA-256 verified streaming downloads, in-place binary execution, and manual installation fallback guide. 8. **High-Performance Terminal & Auto-Copy on Select** - Instant automatic clipboard copy on mouse selection, right-click context menu (Copy, Paste, Clear, Reset, Select All), and native keyboard shortcuts (`Ctrl+C`, `Ctrl+V`, `Ctrl+Shift+C`, `Ctrl+Shift+V`). 9. **Global Latin-Only Brand Standards & SOUDIV Proprietary Commercial Licensing** - Standardized Latin-only brand identity ("NIRIKSH") and formal commercial intellectual property terms. --- ## 🆕 What's New ### 1. Health Incident Timeline & 1-Click Remediation Located under **Alerts → Incidents**, this assistant monitors telemetry and systemd state to calculate a real-time host Health Score (0–100). - **Incident Categorization**: Categorizes issues into Disk Space, Service Failures, Memory/Swap Starvation, CPU Core Saturation, Security Drift, and System Clutter. - **1-Click Remediation**: - *Disk Emergency*: Clean package manager cache, purge orphaned dependencies, and vacuum journal logs to 100 MB. - *Service Crash*: Inspect the last 50 crash log lines, restart service with systemctl active verification, or reload configuration. - *Memory Pressure*: Drop clean pagecache buffers (`echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches`) and inspect top consuming processes. - *CPU Pressure*: Identify top CPU-bound processes. - **Stateless Remote Execution**: Runs stateless commands over SSH stdout with zero server footprint. ### 2. Multi-Log Real-Time Streamer Located under **Observe → Logs**, this studio streams remote log sources simultaneously: - **Sources**: Systemd unit journals, file paths (`/var/log/*`), container runtimes (Docker/Podman), and kernel dmesg. - **Layouts**: 1-pane, 2-pane split, 4-pane grid, or Unified Merged Chronological view. - **Search & Filtering**: Regex search, log level filtering (Error, Warn, Info), auto-scroll tailing with pause on scroll-up. ### 3. Visual SSH Port Forwarding & Tunnel Studio Located under **Network → Tunnels**, this workbench manages SSH tunnels: - **Local Forwarding (`-L`)**: Access remote databases and internal web services via local workstation ports. - **Remote Forwarding (`-R`)**: Expose local workstation services to remote networks. - **Dynamic SOCKS5 Proxy (`-D`)**: Route browser and CLI traffic through the remote server's network. - **Zero Orphaned Sockets**: Disconnecting a server automatically terminates all associated tunnels cleanly. ### 4. Zero-Footprint Automated Backup & Snapshot Engine Located under **Manage → Backups**, this engine creates on-demand backups: - **Streaming Pipeline**: Streams archive bytes directly over standard SSH stdout straight into local workstation storage (`~/niriksh-backups/`). - **Recipes**: PostgreSQL (`pg_dump`), MySQL/MariaDB (`mysqldump`), MongoDB (`mongodump --archive`), Redis (`redis-cli --rdb -`), SQLite (`sqlite3 .backup`), Docker volumes, system configuration directories, and custom folders. - **Integrity**: On-the-fly SHA-256 calculation; partial files are deleted immediately if a transfer fails or is cancelled. - **Verification**: Instant checksum verification testing computed hash against on-disk files and verifying format magic numbers (`PGDMP`, `REDIS`, `SQLite format 3`, `gzip`). ### 5. Fleet-Wide Batch Operations & Broadcast Runner Select multiple servers on the **Fleet** view and launch cluster batch actions: - **Cluster Operations**: Run custom shell scripts, refresh package indices, check disk capacities, or manage services across hundreds of nodes. - **Concurrency Throttling**: Bounded execution (1 to 5 concurrent SSH workers) prevents network starvation. - **Execution Report**: Live status cards, duration counters, log output drawers, and exportable JSON reports. ### 6. Deployer Interactive Prompt & Input Bridge Automated stack deployments now gracefully handle interactive CLI steps: - **Automatic Heuristic Detection**: Detects `read` statements (`read -p`, `read -r`) in bash scripts and auto-activates the interactive stdin bridge. - **Prompt Detection on Stderr & Stdout**: Correctly captures prompts output to standard error (such as bash `read -p`) without trailing newlines. - **Input Bridge**: An inline bridge opens right in the deployment progress drawer allowing operators to answer prompts securely in real time. ### 7. In-App Update System Niriksh checks the central SOUDIV Authority (`https://soudiv.com/api/v1/niriksh/stats`) on startup: - **Non-blocking Indicator**: An accent pill (`🚀 Update Available`) appears in the top bar when an update is detected. - **Two-Stage Workflow**: - *Stage 1 (Automatic)*: Streams the update binary, verifies cryptographic checksums, replaces the application binary, and restarts. - *Stage 2 (Manual Fallback)*: Detailed step-by-step installation instructions for your OS with direct download links. --- ## 🔒 Security & Performance Improvements - **Cross-Platform Native Desktop Alert Fallbacks**: - *macOS*: Integrated reliable AppleScript (`osascript`) notification banner delivery ensuring notifications pop up and register in macOS Notification Center even for unpackaged/standalone binaries. - *Windows*: Integrated WinRT PowerShell toast delivery using the built-in system PowerShell AUMID and `CREATE_NO_WINDOW` (`0x0800_0000`) flag, resolving silent notification drops caused by missing Start Menu shortcut AUMIDs. - *Linux*: Native D-Bus desktop notification delivery with `notify-send` fallback. - **Terminal Auto-Copy Visual Feedback**: Real-time feedback pills and in-terminal floating badges confirm clipboard copying upon mouse text selection. - **Design System Token Integrity (Rule 2.32)**: Enforced strict CSS token adherence across Log Streamer, Tunnel Studio, and About pages, eliminating broken ad-hoc variables. - **External URL System Browser Launcher**: New IPC command `open_external_url` opens links in the operator's default browser, replacing broken webview `target="_blank"` anchors with masked, human-readable action triggers. - **Console Window Flash Suppression**: Windows subprocess executions explicitly suppress temporary conhost console window popups. - **Zero Technology Stack Leakage**: User-facing error messages are sanitized into professional, human-readable domain terms without exposing internal crate paths or regex logic. - **Licensing Catalog Expansion**: Added feature gates `FEAT_FLEET_BATCH_RUNNER` (#38), `FEAT_BACKUP_ENGINE` (#39), `FEAT_PORT_FORWARDING` (#40), `FEAT_MULTI_LOG_STREAMER` (#41), and `FEAT_HEALTH_INCIDENT_REMEDIATION` (#42) with full SOUDIV authority catalog synchronization. --- ## 📋 Quality & Testing Verification - **Real Target Verification**: All 7 new features verified end-to-end against live Debian Linux target container running under rootless Docker. - **Rust Test Suite**: 715 core tests + 43 GUI tests passing with 0 errors (758 total tests passed). - **Frontend Quality Gate**: Svelte-check passing with 0 errors and 0 warnings; 40 UI tests passing. - **Clippy & Formatting**: `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings` and `cargo fmt --all -- --check` passing with 0 warnings. - **Ecosystem Non-Drift**: All 29 tests passing in companion SOUDIV repository (`projects/soudiv`).
