v0.5.3

What's New in v0.5.3

UI Overhaul

The entire frontend has been redesigned with a modern dark theme.

• Doughnut countdown timer — a ring-style SVG timer shows exactly how much blocking time remains, formatted as MM:SS (or HH:MM:SS for longer pauses).
• Dynamic ring colour — the ring transitions smoothly from green → amber → red as time runs out (at 50% and 25% remaining)
• Per-Pi-hole status cards — each configured Pi-hole is shown with its name, hostname, and whether it was successfully paused or failed.
• Improved error states — the "all failed" error screen now displays correctly when all Pi-holes fail authentication, and partial failures (some paused, some not) are shown accurately in the status cards.
• "Pause Again" button — correctly disabled while the pause is active; re-enables (and becomes "Try Again") when the timer expires or all requests fail.

Docker Setup Overhaul

The Docker setup has been significantly simplified.

• No more nginx — the app now runs directly via php artisan serve, removing the need for a separate web server container.

• Live file updates — the project directory is bind-mounted into the container, so any file change on the host is immediately reflected without copying files or rebuilding the image.

• Vendor folder on the host — composer install runs at container start and writes to the bind-mounted directory, so your IDE can read the installed packages.

• Automatic bootstrap — on first start, the container creates .env from .env.example, generates the app key, and runs migrations automatically.

• Makefile shortcuts — common operations are now a single make command:

  Command	Description
  make up / make down	Start or stop the container
  make build / make rebuild	Build or force-rebuild the image
  make logs / make shell	Tail logs or open a shell
  make manager	Launch the interactive Pi-hole configuration tool

• Dev mode — set APP_ENV=local in .env to install dev dependencies (GrumPHP, php-cs-fixer, IDE helper) and generate the IDE helper file on startup. APP_ENV=production is the default and requires no changes for end-users.

• GrumPHP hooks in-repo — pre-commit and commit-msg hooks now live in .githooks/ and are installed automatically on dev container start. Hooks delegate to the container, so PHP does not need to be installed on the host.

PWA Support

• PausePi can now be installed as a Progressive Web App. On mobile or desktop browsers, use "Add to Home Screen" (or the browser's install prompt) to pin it as a standalone app icon. A minimal service worker is included to satisfy PWA install criteria; it does not cache any content and all requests go directly to the network.

Bug fixes

• Fixed APP_URL becoming stale when overriding the default port via APP_PORT. The .env.example now defines APP_PORT=8000 and derives APP_URL from it
  (APP_URL="http://localhost:${APP_PORT}"), so changing the port in one place is enough.
• Fixed a Vite build artifact inconsistency in public/build/.
