Changelog

Changes to the panel and the API that affect you. Newest first.

If you write automation, this is the page to watch: when API behaviour changes, it is recorded here.

We avoid breaking the contract

We take care not to change the response shape of an existing endpoint, remove fields or change error codes. When such a change is unavoidable it is marked here as a breaking change.

  • Managed PostgreSQL is here. Create a database from the Databases section of the panel by picking a plan; setup, TLS and maintenance are on us. The connection string is ready to use (sslmode=require enforced) and the password is masked by default in the panel. Billed hourly, never above the plan's monthly cap.
  • Database plans can be upgraded. Change plan on the detail page moves you to a larger plan: your data, address and password are PRESERVED and the database is unreachable for only a few seconds. Only upgrades for now.
  • Powering on a server now requires balancebehaviour change. On an account with zero or negative balance, poweron (Start in the panel) is rejected with 402 insufficient_balance. Power off, reboot and reset are unaffected — you can always stop your own usage. If you write automation you may need to handle this code.
  • The usage breakdown on the balance page is fixed. A period could show a total while the breakdown stayed empty or loaded forever. Usage belonging to resources that were later removed now appears too — the breakdown always matches the total.
  • A hard reset is now actually hard. The Reset (hard) button on the server page restarts the machine without signalling the operating system first. It previously did the same thing as a normal reboot — so the button meant for rescuing a frozen server didn't work in exactly that situation.
  • Added Managing your server, Troubleshooting, Command line and Terraform and Projects and limits to the documentation.

  • HepCloud is live. The panel, the API and the documentation are open.
  • Account operations are closed to API tokensbreaking change. /account, sessions, two-factor authentication, token management, billing details and balance endpoints can now only be called from the panel; a token calling them gets session_required. This stops a leaked token from taking over an account, minting new tokens or turning off two-factor authentication.
  • Phone verification added (one-time code over SMS).
  • The image catalogue grew: Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Rocky, AlmaLinux, CentOS Stream, openSUSE and Alpine families are listed with version selection. Versions that aren't available yet appear inactive.
  • The minimum top-up is now 50 TL.
