SWAP usage can also be monitored. When the treshold is reached you will receive a notification and the Sentiel service will clear the swap. After it is completed you will receive another notification.

To change the swap usage treshold from terminal

Optimizing MySQL​

One major change for new installations is that the mysql login information is now stored in /etc/hitechcloud/hitechadmin/config/db.cnf for both HiTechCloud and HiTechAdmin. File /usr/local/admin/config.json is also removed, so in the future all HiTechCloudCLI, HiTechAdmin and HiTechCloud will use the same file. This change will simplify the installation process and changes needed when mysql information is changed.

All queries from HiTechCloud and HiTechAdmin interfaces are now optimized, ensuring even faster user login and all other database-related tasks.

Email Template​

HiTechAdmin Notifications now use a custom email template:

This template was heavily inspired by Vercel verification email.

Template can be customized by the Administrator by editing: /usr/local/admin/templates/system/email_template.html

user-add​

hitechcloudcli user-add script was rewritten to optimize the account creation process. Detailed debugging information is available, overlay2 is supported for Docker and for each new user files are used from the /etc/hitechcloud/hitechadmin/skeleton/ directory.

Install email​

Custom email address can now be set when installing HiTechCloud using the --email= flag. If set, after the installation process, this email address will receive an email containing the HiTechAdmin login information:
