Add a Udash section covering the quick start, Helm installation, agent, configuration, authentication, sending reports, organising pipelines with labels, dashboards, the API, and troubleshooting. It describes udash v0.17.1 and later (oidc mode, roles, API tokens, data retention) and the token-based updatecli udash login from Updatecli v0.121.0.

Also document the options.relativepaths manifest setting and the UPDATECLI_RELATIVE_PATHS variable, and point existing Udash links to the new section.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Manifests can resolve relative paths from their own location, regardless of the working directory, with manifest-level settings taking precedence over command-line and environment options.
  • Documentation
    • Added Udash guides for getting started, running a local instance, sending reports, and using dashboards, including label-based filtering and troubleshooting.
    • Added configuration examples for Udash deployments, report publishing, dashboard labels, and relative paths.
    • Updated guidance on Udash reporting, manifest path resolution, and label filtering, and added Udash to the documentation navigation.

Add a Udash section covering the quick start, Helm installation, agent,
configuration, authentication, sending reports, organising pipelines with
labels, dashboards, the API, and troubleshooting. It describes udash
v0.17.1 and later (oidc mode, roles, API tokens, data retention) and the
token-based `updatecli udash login` from Updatecli v0.121.0.

Also document the `options.relativepaths` manifest setting and the
`UPDATECLI_RELATIVE_PATHS` variable, and point existing Udash links to
the new section.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes document manifest-relative path settings and add a corresponding example. They also add Udash overview, local setup, report publishing, and dashboard documentation, with configuration examples and a pipeline that tracks Udash image versions.

Changes

Manifest Relative Paths

Layer / File(s) Summary
Relative-path settings and example
content/en/docs/core/configuration.adoc, content/en/docs/core/scm.adoc, content/en/docs/help/environment.adoc, assets/code_example/docs/core/configuration/relativepaths.yaml
The documentation describes relative-path resolution, precedence, and exceptions. A new example reads a version from Chart.yaml and writes it as an image tag in values.yaml using manifest-relative paths.

Udash Documentation and Examples

Layer / File(s) Summary
Udash overview and navigation
config/_default/menus/menus.en.toml, content/en/docs/udash/_index.md, content/en/docs/udash/introduction.adoc, content/en/docs/help/experimental.adoc
The Udash overview introduces the dashboard and links to its guides. The documentation menu and an existing guide link to the Udash pages.
Local quick-start stack
content/en/docs/udash/quick-start.adoc, assets/code_example/docs/udash/quick-start/*, assets/code_example/docs/udash/quick-start/updatecli-compose.yaml, updatecli/updatecli.d/udash.yaml
The quick-start guide and examples describe a Docker Compose stack and an Updatecli policy. A pipeline discovers Udash images in documentation Compose files and opens a pull request when versions change.
Report publishing guidance and example
content/en/docs/udash/sending-reports.adoc, assets/code_example/docs/udash/sending-reports/updatecli.yaml, content/en/docs/help/environment.adoc
The guide covers laptop and CI publishing, token requirements, report findability, and troubleshooting. A sample pipeline updates an Alpine base image and configures GitHub SCM reporting.
Dashboard filters and labels
content/en/docs/udash/dashboards.adoc, assets/code_example/docs/udash/dashboards/*, content/en/docs/core/label.adoc
The dashboard guide describes report filters, label matching, pipeline labels, and sharing views. Example files define a GitHub SCM and report labels.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in assets/code_example/docs/core/configuration/relativepaths.yaml: Adds a new Updatecli manifest that sets options.relativepaths: manifest so the Chart.yaml and values.yaml lookups are relative to the manifest, reads the chart version from Chart.yaml via the $.version key in a yaml source, and reports it as the image tag in values.yaml via the $.image.tag key in a yaml target.
  • observed — Modified behavior in assets/code_example/docs/udash/quick-start/config.json: Adds a new config.json file defining app settings: auth disabled, API base URL /api, base path /, and a 30-day history limit.
  • observed — Modified behavior in assets/code_example/docs/udash/quick-start/config.yaml: Adds a new config file defining the server auth mode as "none" (no authentication) and a PostgreSQL database config with uri: postgres://udash:password@db:5432/udash?sslmode=disable and migrationdisabled: false (migrations enabled).
  • observed — Modified behavior in assets/code_example/docs/udash/sending-reports/updatecli.yaml: Added a new updatecli.yaml file defining a docker/base-image pipeline that fetches the latest Alpine image version with a semver filter and applies it to the Alpine FROM instruction in Dockerfile, committing via a GitHub SCM (my-org/my-service, main branch) using the required GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable and labeling the report as ecosystem: docker with active monitoring.

Inline comments:
In `@assets/code_example/docs/udash/agent/values.yaml`:
- Line 10: Update the uri value in the Udash agent values example to use the
connection URI supplied by Udash’s generated Secret, and explain how readers can
retrieve the same URI configured for the Udash server. Do not rely on a
hard-coded password or unverified Service name.

In `@assets/code_example/docs/udash/configuration/config.yaml`:
- Line 35: Update the database uri in the configuration example to use a clearly
descriptive password placeholder instead of the fixed credential, and indicate
that operators must supply a unique secret before deployment.
- Line 35: Update the uri setting in the configuration example to use
sslmode=verify-full, with a trusted CA and a matching server certificate,
instead of disabling TLS verification.

In `@assets/code_example/docs/udash/installation/values-split-domain.yaml`:
- Around line 6-7: Update the split-domain values example’s ingress
configuration so the frontend host udash.example.com has frontend TLS configured
via ingress.tls; ensure HTTP redirects to HTTPS, or document that protected
external HTTPS termination provides this behavior.

In `@assets/code_example/docs/udash/installation/values-subpath.yaml`:
- Around line 7-8: Update the `ingress` settings in this example to select the
Traefik IngressClass by setting `className` to `traefik`, so the `/udash`
requests use the Traefik rewrite middleware.

In `@assets/code_example/docs/udash/quick-start/docker-compose.yaml`:
- Line 48: Update the port mapping in the quick-start Docker Compose
configuration to bind port 80 to 127.0.0.1 instead of all host interfaces,
keeping the example accessible only from the local machine.

In `@content/en/docs/core/configuration.adoc`:
- Line 209: Update the `scmid` path-resolution statement to say paths resolve
against the SCM’s working directory without implying that every SCM clones a
repository. Add a separate sentence explaining that `scmid: local` detects the
repository instead of cloning it.

In `@content/en/docs/udash/api.adoc`:
- Around line 73-75: Update the API table entry for PUT
/api/pipeline/reports/{id} to state that report replacement is unsupported and
not implemented, rather than describing it as an available write operation.

In `@content/en/docs/udash/installation.adoc`:
- Around line 122-128: Replace the nginx subpath example in the installation
instructions with a chart-compatible configuration: the current regex frontend
path conflicts with the chart’s Prefix path type, and its rewrite annotation
also affects the API path. Either document separate regex frontend and
non-rewritten API Ingress resources supported by the chart, or remove the nginx
procedure until that configuration is supported.

🟡 Minor · Make the packaged example self-contained. · relativepaths.yaml:3-22

assets/code_example/docs/core/configuration/relativepaths.yaml:3-22
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Make the packaged example self-contained.

When the documented example runs, relativepaths: manifest resolves Chart.yaml and values.yaml relative to relativepaths.yaml. The packaged directory has no Chart.yaml, and its values.yaml has no image.tag key. The example therefore cannot read the source version or demonstrate the declared synchronization.

Add the referenced chart file and the target structure, or change the manifest to reference files and keys that already exist in the package.
