v0.5.2

Misc

• .env no longer collapses into a corrupted stub when several Harbor commands run at once (for example when the app loads its CLI page).
• An empty or 0-byte .env now self-repairs from the default profile instead of leaving later commands to crash.
• harbor doctor no longer hangs when run with non-interactive stdin; its SELinux AVC probe reads audit logs directly.

Full Changelog: v0.5.1...v0.5.2

v0.5.1

Misc

• harbor doctor compose check is now timeout-guarded and no longer hangs on unresponsive Docker daemons
• harbor doctor --check exits early after essential checks, skipping slow optional probes
• Removed registry connectivity check from harbor doctor to reduce startup latency

v0.5.0 - DMR, MLX, oMLX, Daytona

TL;DR

Four new backends - DMR (Docker Model Runner), MLX, oMLX, and Daytona sandbox - with cross-service integrations rolled out to 26 services each. llamacpp replaces Ollama as the default backend (harbor defaults add ollama to restore the old behavior). The Tauri app now handles the entire install workflow in-app. New CLI features: tab completion, port conflict detection, smart pull routing, custom volume mounts, fuzzy service suggestions, and harbor skills for AI agent discovery.

llamacpp default backend (breaking change)

llamacpp is now the default backend, replacing Ollama. Running harbor up with no arguments starts llamacpp instead of Ollama. Existing users who rely on harbor up launching Ollama should explicitly run harbor up ollama or set their default via harbor defaults add ollama. Cross-service integrations for llamacpp have been rolled out to 38 services.

Agent Skills

New harbor skills command exposes agent-facing CLI documentation, letting AI coding agents discover and use Harbor commands without manual prompting.

harbor skills             # list available skills
harbor skills get <name>  # show a skill's content

In-App Install

The Tauri app now ships a full guided setup flow — Docker detection, dependency installation, platform-specific package management, and CLI bootstrapping all happen inside the app. Covers macOS, WSL, Fedora, openSUSE, and minimal environments with cancel-between-steps, error recovery, and disk space checks.

DMR (Docker Model Runner)

Run models through Docker Desktop's built-in Model Runner with OpenAI-compatible API, auto-bootstrapped on harbor up.

Misc

• Smart pull routing automatically directs model downloads to the right backend.
• Custom volume mounts via harbor volumes CLI.
• Fuzzy service name suggestions when you mistype a service handle.
• MiniMax default model upgraded to M3.
• Comprehensive integration test suites added for CLI, config, and service lifecycle.
