Release notes

OpsPilot 0.5.1 is the first public release of NubeStack OpsPilot. Settings → About shows the version you are running; include it when you contact support.

Installers are on https://subscription.nubestack.com/download. OpsPilot never updates itself: to move to a later version, download its installer and run it. Settings, connections and the license are kept.

0.5.1

The first public release.

What is in this release

Workspace and connections

  • Ten connection types: SSH, Telnet, RSH, Mosh, RDP, VNC (direct hosts, and KVM and OpenStack consoles), FTP, S3, serial and the Local Console. See Connection types.
  • Tabs for every session, groups and environments in the side list, and a side list you can use from the keyboard and with a screen reader.
  • A file explorer over SFTP with a built-in editor, the File Manager for transfers, FTP and S3 browsing.
  • Remote desktop as an in-app tab on Windows, and through Microsoft's Windows App on macOS and FreeRDP on Linux; KVM and OpenStack consoles in an in-app tab.
  • Port forwarding, command snippets, a system monitor, Insights and a set of everyday tools.
  • Connection passwords and private keys encrypted with the operating system's own protection, and an idle lock.

AI

  • Ten AI providers, including a local model through Ollama and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint you host. See AI providers.
  • The AI panel works in SSH and Local Console tabs. It proposes one command at a time; nothing reaches the shell without the rules you set, and a dangerous command always needs your click. See Using the AI panel.
  • AI Assistants: Claude Desktop, VS Code, ChatGPT Desktop and ChatGPT Web / Work can see the sessions you allow and propose commands into the same approval flow, and a secure tunnel lets ChatGPT in a browser or on a phone reach it. See AI Assistants.

Safety and privacy

  • Command Safety profiles, each with three rules: Run commands without asking me, What counts as a dangerous command and Make me type a reason for dangerous commands. See Approvals & auto-run.
  • Data Handling profiles that redact secrets before anything reaches an AI provider: 11 built-in categories, six of them on by default, including NubeStack license keys, plus your own patterns. Terminal control sequences are removed before redaction. See Data Handling profiles.
  • Profiles apply per connection and per group, falling back to Default.
  • No telemetry.

Licensing

  • A 15-day free trial from the first launch, with no account, email or card: your first 10 saved connections, up to 10 sessions open at once, and AI on 2 of your connections at a time, which you choose. See Free trial and limits.
  • Without a subscription after the trial, the terminal keeps working with your first 10 saved connections and up to 10 sessions open at once; AI, AI Assistants and the tunnel are off, and every setting and connection is kept.
  • Settings → License: activate online with a license key, offline with a request code and a license file, or import a license file. Organisations can deploy one organisation-wide license and an IT policy file instead. See Activate OpsPilot and Licensing for IT.
  • Online activation is optional. The trial, license files and deployment licenses make no network connection at all.
  • Licensing never closes a session, and an AI answer already under way finishes.

Known limitations

  • The download page has the Windows x64 installer and, for Linux x64, a .deb package and an AppImage. macOS installers are not published yet; email support@nubestack.com to hear when they are.
  • The Windows installer is signed with NubeStack's own code-signing certificate, which Windows does not trust by default, so it shows Unknown publisher. The Linux packages are not code-signed. Check every installer's SHA-256 against the download page.
  • RDP certificate handling is provisional ahead of general availability; see Remote desktop.
  • Telnet and RSH are unencrypted by protocol design, so credentials and session content travel in clear text.
  • Approvals and proposals are visible in a session while it is open, and terminal scrollback is kept in memory only, so OpsPilot writes no durable audit log; capture compliance evidence from your own session-recording arrangements.
  • Remote operation through the tunnel suits triage (service status, logs, confirming an alert); a dangerous command still needs a click in OpsPilot on the workstation.
