📣 Beta feedback — v1.0.0-beta.1

[devhardiyanto]

Welcome to the Servel v1.0.0-beta.1 beta period. This issue is the entry point for beta feedback — please read before reporting.

What is being tested

Servel v1.0 MVP shipping these 6 core features:

• PHP version switching via phpvm
• Node version switching via fnm
• Docker services orchestration (9 services: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ, MongoDB, MinIO, Mailpit, Gotenberg, SQL Server)
• Auto-detect .phpvmrc / .nvmrc
• Persist state + system tray
• Dynamic compose generator

How to participate

1. Download the installer for your OS from Releases.
2. Install — read the SmartScreen / Gatekeeper workaround in the README.
3. Use Servel for your daily workflow for a few days.
4. Report what you find:
   • Functional bugs → open a new Bug report issue.
   • Ideas / questions / showcases → use Discussions.
   • General feedback → comment on this issue.

What is NOT in scope for beta feedback

These are intentionally deferred to v1.0.1 / v1.1 — please do not file issues for them:

• Code signing (Windows SmartScreen + macOS notarization) — locked decision, workaround documented.
• Loading skeletons across async views — planned for v1.0.1.
• Tray icon 16x16 mono optimization — planned for v1.1.
• Light theme, port conflict detection, multiple profiles, sites manager — out of scope for v1.x MVP.

Known limitations

• Windows: WSL2 + Docker Desktop required. Installer offers to inject .wslconfig.
• macOS: unsigned, requires xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Servel.app on first launch.
• Linux AppImage is ~80 MB because WebKitGTK is bundled (system runtime not guaranteed across distros).

What I am watching for

• Install flow smooth on a fresh machine?
• All 9 services start without manual intervention?
• Tray transitional UI (starting / stopping badges) accurate?
• .phpvmrc / .nvmrc auto-detect reliable in real projects?
• Any crash, freeze, or data corruption?

Beta window

~1–2 weeks. After that, critical fixes ship as v1.0.0-beta.2 (if needed), then v1.0.0 stable.

Thank you for trying Servel.
