Phase 8: Beta testing and bug cleanup:

Documentation and Repository Management: We updated and merged our work on GitHub, including all major middleware and API connection changes, code maintenance tasks, and ExtJS UI updates.

Cloud Backup Middleware Development Objective: Build middleware to enable interaction between Proxmox Backup Server’s cloud backup APIs and Sia’s decentralized storage API, addressing connectivity issues.

Changes:

Developed the middleware layer to route API calls effectively and provide consistent data handling across platforms.

Added error-handling routines to manage connectivity errors and log middleware actions for debugging.

What was done in the code:

src/middleware/siaIntegrationMiddleware.rs: Modularized middleware and added caching logic. src/middleware/loadBalancer.rs: Implemented dynamic load balancing for middleware operations.

pbs/src/api2/cloud/backup.rs: Integrated asynchronous processing and analytics reporting. pbs/src/api2/cloud/auth.rs: Added token-based authentication.

www/cloud/security/AuditLogger.js: Implemented logging for critical actions. www/cloud/security/EncryptionHandler.js: Enhanced encryption algorithms.

www/cloud/window/StorageDashboard.js: Created Sia storage monitoring dashboard. www/css/ext6-pbscloud.css: Updated styles for localization and accessibility. www/cloud/backupworks/dependencyMap.js: Added dependency visualization features.

Links to repos worked on this month:

Merged branch ‘develop’ of https://github.com/AZComputerSolutions/PBSCloudBackupModule

What will you be working on this month?

Release Candidate Preparation:

Resolve final bugs and ensure all features meet performance benchmarks.

Conduct a soft launch with select beta testers.

Long-term Maintenance Planning:

Develop a roadmap for supporting additional storage backends.

Document middleware architecture for handoff and future scalability.

Please summarize your development goals into a few sentences or bullet points:

Fix bugs and code dependencies changes in rust that make our code no longer compile . Get a test server setup and working. Document setting up a test server. So that anyone can do it would the code in our github site.
