HOMER patches DuckDB storage reliability and restores multi-value search while fixing admin dashboard sharing

voip-monitoringsip-captureducklakeobservabilityself-hosted
◆Current state
HOMER is in steady maintenance mode across the 11.0.339-11.0.344 range, resolving DuckDB temp directory configuration, search correctness (multi-value semicolon syntax restored, oldest-first sort default), and an admin-level dashboard sharing access fix. The recent Azure Blob Storage DuckLake backend addition (11.0.334) was the last directional move; these releases consolidate that storage work.
◆Where it's heading
HOMER is hardening its DuckLake storage tier across cloud backends (S3, Azure) and fixing real user-facing search behavior. The OTLP table inclusion in compaction is the most operationally significant fix in this window — without it, OpenTelemetry data would bypass retention policies. Admin dashboard sharing and search UX fixes point to growing multi-user deployments.
◆Prediction
The OTLP table compaction work and credential refresh fixes point to an ongoing push to make the observability data tier reliable for long-running multi-cloud deployments; expect continued storage and retention policy improvements.

◆Recent moves

  1. 1d ago

    11.0.344

    Pins the DuckDB temp_directory on the tiering DuckDB instance — a configuration correctness fix that prevents temp files from landing in an unintended location under certain deployment configurations.

    11.0.343

    Allows admin users to update shared dashboards — previously blocked for admins, which meant shared dashboards could only be modified by their original owner. The README update in the same release brings documentation up to date with recent storage backend additions.

    11.0.342

    Restores the default sort order for search results to oldest-first and includes a security fix. Together these address real user-facing regressions in the search interface that affected standard SIP capture analysis workflows.

    11.0.341

    Restores semicolon-separated multi-value search, which had been broken — affecting users who relied on that syntax to filter multiple values in a single query field for call trace analysis.

  5. 7d ago

    11.0.340

    Includes OTLP-prefixed tables in compaction discovery, so retention and merge operations now reach OpenTelemetry data. Without this fix, OTLP data would accumulate without compaction, bypassing retention policies and growing unboundedly on disk.

    11.0.339

    Pins the Go toolchain version in Docker builds to match go.mod, ensuring GHCR-built images use the correct compiler version. Routine dependency bump in the same release.
