Why Rivetin

Independent tools.
A consistent experience.

The small things make a difference.
Give them a place to work together.

One extension center

Install, configure and manage your extensions in a shared workspace. Keep useful tools within reach.

Independent settings

Each extension owns its configuration. Changes stay in a draft until you explicitly save them.

Activate with intent

Installation and updates leave extensions disabled. Review compatibility, then enable what you need.

Version-aware by design

Check the exact CloudTower build and framework requirements before an extension can run.

A record of changes

Review management actions in the extension center, with the actor, outcome and time in view.

Modular at the core

Keep features and releases independent while sharing a consistent configuration and lifecycle.

The extension library

Built around
the work you do.

Practical additions for everyday management.

IPMI Redirection

Public release
Not available

What it does

Current boundary

Version 0.1.2 is enabled in the accepted Rivetin deployment on the CloudTower 4.9.0 development/test environment. This is not a production or all-version guarantee. The package provides address redirection; automatic BMC web login is unavailable. Hardware catalog entries and simulated Redfish sessions do not establish real firmware compatibility.

Public release

What it does

Current boundary

Version 0.2.6 is deployed and enabled in the controlled CloudTower 4.9.0 environment. Read-only browser acceptance covered grouped menus, local form input and Cancel, and internal expand/collapse controls. No resource-changing action was submitted. The catalog contains 67 VM actions, but this does not mean all actions or resource types are implemented. Server integration currently covers basic VM edits and seven power actions; actual mutations and native-dialog integration remain unverified.

Public release

What it does

Current boundary

Version 0.1.1 is deployed and enabled in the controlled CloudTower 4.9.0 environment. Read-only acceptance covered connection editing, inventory and leaving unsaved drafts. Collection settings, credentials, approvals and schedules remain unconfigured; no real host was connected. Fresh installation defaults remain off. Connection secrets are stored by the encrypted backend and are never returned in saved-secret responses. The bounded recent-result buffer is separate from persistent per-disk history.

What it does

Current boundary

Version 0.1.1 is deployed and enabled in the controlled CloudTower 4.9.0 environment. Read-only browser acceptance covered mounting and switching physical-disk pages in host and cluster views, plus unbound-device diagnostics. The shared provider, HTTP consumer and persistent-history path have local integration coverage. No real host SMART sample, actual history or cross-day collection has been verified. Inventory health alone is not complete SMART data, and unavailable data must not be presented as healthy.

Public release

What it does

Current boundary

This is a standalone local demonstration with synthetic data. Draft creation, uplink edits and timed rollback are simulations, not live network changes. No CloudTower build has been accepted for this extension; its tested-build list is empty and real installation must remain gated.

Source version
0.1.0
Framework API

Public release
Not available

What it does

Current boundary

The exported JSON is a project-specific review draft, not an Everoute API request or directly importable policy. Inputs stay in memory; only the saved label key uses shared configuration. The extension does not make AI calls, write labels, deploy policies or enable WORK mode. No live CloudTower or Everoute build has been validated.
