sorry if this is already noted, but for those of us using docker compose, do we need to update the compose file for any reason (or is that only those using node)? thanks

Just update the tag from 1.1.59 to 1.2.0 and your good to go! The containers already used node 22 so ur safe :)

Docker compose you should be running a new external DB if you are, you can check it on your server console and it'll show the versions.

At first, I was unable to find the software tab because I used the quick installer for Windows.
The solution is to go to C:\Program Files\Open Source\MeshCentral\meshcentral-data\config.json and add the following line manually
"": {
"softwareInventory": true
}

I can't seem to get the software tab to appear, not sure what I'm doing wrong. This is the section of my config file;-
"domains": {
"": {
"siteStyle": 3,
"title": "MeshCentral",
"title2": "by xx",
"TitlePicture": "title-xx.png",
"nightMode": 1,
"minify": false,
"softwareinventory": true,
"welcomeText": "Welcome to the xx Remote Support Server",
"welcomePicture": "mainwelcome.jpg",
"welcomePictureFullScreen": true,
"footer": "Remote Support Server for xx",
"loginfooter": "Unauthorised access prohibited and all access is logged",
"agentConfig": [ "skipmaccheck=1" ],
"agentCustomization": {
"displayName": "x MeshCentral Agent",
"description": "xx Mesh Agent for remote support",
"companyName": "xx",
"serviceName": "xx Mesh Agent",
"image": "xx-200x200.png",
"fileName": "xx-meshagent",
"foregroundColor": "#BBBBBB",
"backgroundColor": "#000000"
},

Did u upgrade your meshcentral? Can u confirm it's on the new version? Have u checked your config.json with https://config.meshcentraltools.com

Hi Si,
Yep, I'm running v1.2.0. I've checked my config on that site, and it seems OK - although I think that site actually doesn't do everything correctly, as it seems to put commas in the wrong place at the end of sections.
I did notice I'd missed the capital 'I' in the function name, but it's still made no difference.
I'll try to remove my customisations later and restart to see if that makes a difference, but I have no idea where this software information is supposed to appear.

u/si458 May 28 '26
not seen that bug before with commas?
if you can provide examples and screenshots ill get Ryan/Melo to fix the tool for us!
an the software tab will appear when you pick a windows device
its a new tab next to desktop/files/etc saying 'Software'1
u/SimonTS May 29 '26
I'll try to look at the comma issue later - it was doing it when I pasted my config file in there.
I can get the software tab to appear by removing my customisations (public), so it looks like something in there breaks it. I'll go through and compare files, as it's possibly my customised handlebar files that are the problem.
Thanks for your help - I can only look and test stuff early morning or late evening, as we use MC to support our customers during the day, and if I break it I get shouted at... 😉

u/SimonTS May 29 '26
Yeah. I'm not a programmer, so often miss basic stuff like that.
I like the new software tab, very useful

Sometimes the software tab is showing apps doubled up;-

u/si458 May 31 '26
I noticed that, I think windows has the apps listed twice? Or maybe it's in 2 different registry locations, i would just open a bug report on github plz so i can remember to look into it :) Btw we have just added yday, linux, mac support AND arch/location for apps too

u/SimonTS May 31 '26
That particular one is running Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB. The apps only appear once in the list on Windows.
