* Add Debian packaging support with cargo-deb
- Add cargo-deb metadata to socktop and socktop_agent Cargo.toml
- Create systemd service file for socktop_agent
- Add postinst/postrm maintainer scripts for user/group management
- Create GitHub Actions workflow to build .deb packages for AMD64 and ARM64
- Add comprehensive documentation in docs/DEBIAN_PACKAGING.md
- Packages will be available as artifacts on every push
- Automatic GitHub releases for version tags
* Add summary documentation for debian packaging
* fix unit test, move to macro cargo_bin!
* hotfix for issue with socktop agent not creating ssl certificate on first launch after upgrade of axum server version.
* Add helpful post-install message to guide users on enabling socktop-agent service
* Fix CI build by installing libdrm development dependencies
* Fix package rename script - cargo-deb already includes architecture in filename
* Make GPU support optional to enable RISC-V builds without libdrm
- Add 'gpu' feature flag (enabled by default)
- Make gfxinfo dependency optional
- Provide no-op GPU metrics when gpu feature disabled
- Disable GPU support for RISC-V builds in CI (libdrm unavailable)
- All other architectures (amd64, arm64, armhf) still get GPU support
* feature gate GPU stats for arm v7
* specify correct package names.
* install aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc build dep
* specify correct package name
* add RISC-V GCC compiler
* add .cargo to gitignore to elimicate issue with riscv64-linux-gnu-gcc linker in config.toml
* add gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf linker fore armv7
* set correct x-compile lib gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu for arm64 builds.
* add ports.ubuntu.com to sources
* Add ARM64 as a foreign architecture
* fixe for ARM64 build.
* security.ubuntu.com` aNNOYING
* apt repo github page
* copy output to apt repo
* fix secrets path
* fix secrets path
* change build dep
* Fix postinst message box alignment
* ci(deb): restrict APT publish to v* release tags
Previously the workflow built and published on every push to master
and feature/debian-packaging in addition to v* tags. That meant the
gh-pages APT repo got overwritten on every commit with same-version
.debs, causing apt clients to see a phantom "update available" each
time and burning ~5-10 min of cross-compile CI per merge.
After this change:
- PRs into master still cross-build .debs as a sanity check.
- v* tags build, publish to gh-pages, and create a GitHub release.
- workflow_dispatch remains as the manual escape hatch.
- master pushes no longer trigger this workflow (ci.yml still runs).

Release highlights
Introduced split client/agent architecture with a ratatui-based TUI and a lightweight WebSocket agent.
Added adaptive (idle-aware) sampler: agent samples fast only when clients are connected; sleeps when idle.
Implemented metrics JSON caching for instant ws replies; cold-start does one-off collection.
Port configuration: --port/-p, positional PORT, or SOCKTOP_PORT env (default 3000).
Optional token auth: SOCKTOP_TOKEN on agent, ws://HOST:PORT/ws?token=VALUE in client.
Logging via tracing with RUST_LOG control.
CI workflow (fmt, clippy, build) for Linux and Windows.
Systemd unit example for always-on agent.
TUI features
CPU: overall sparkline + per-core history with trend arrows and color thresholds.
Memory/Swap gauges with humanized labels.
Disks panel with per-device usage and icons.
Network download/upload sparklines (KB/s) with peak tracking.
Top processes table (PID, name, CPU%, mem, mem%).
Header with hostname and CPU temperature indicator.
Agent changes
sysinfo 0.36.1 targeted refresh: refresh_cpu_all, refresh_memory, refresh_processes_specifics(ProcessesToUpdate::All, ProcessRefreshKind::new().with_cpu().with_memory(), true).
WebSocket handler: client counting with wake notifications, cold-start handling, proper Response returns.
Sampler uses MissedTickBehavior::Skip to avoid catch-up bursts.
Docs
README updates: running instructions, port configuration, optional token auth, platform notes, example JSON.
Added socktop-agent.service systemd unit.
Platform notes
Linux (AMD/Intel) supported; tested on AMD, targeting Intel next.
Raspberry Pi supported (availability of temps varies by model).
Windows builds/run; CPU temperature may be unavailable (shows N/A).
Known/next
Roadmap includes configurable refresh interval, TUI filtering/sorting, TLS/WSS, and export to file.
