How to get web UI to show job history?

[GlenNicholls]

I'm noticing that the "Job History for" table in the web UI doesn't add any rows when running manual or scheduled jobs. I see Ofelia writing job files to /var/log/ofelia fine and Ofelia logs don't say anything about the job history.

Is there something special I need to do so the web UI will show job history properly? Below is my config.ini and compose config:

[global]
log-level=info
enable-web=true
web-address=:8081
docker-poll-interval = 60s
docker-events = true
save-folder = /var/log/ofelia
save-only-on-error = false
save-format = json
save-retention = 7d
enable-strict-validation = false
webhook-allow-remote-presets = true
webhook-allowed-hosts = ntfy.example.com

ofelia:
    container_name: ofelia
    image: ghcr.io/netresearch/ofelia:${OFELIA_VERSION}
    restart: unless-stopped
    command: daemon --config=/etc/ofelia/config.ini
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
      - ./ofelia/config.ini:/etc/ofelia/config.ini:ro
      - ./ofelia/logs:/var/log/ofelia
      - ./ofelia/ntfy-custom.yaml:/config/ntfy-custom.yaml:ro

This was a bug. It is fixed meanwhile.
See #422
The fix was delivered with v0.17.1

Just updated and looks like it's fixed.

Is there any way to get it to populate job history after a restart with logs in /var/log/ofelia? I'm not seeing it list job history after restarting the compose stack

@GlenNicholls Great question! Currently, job history is stored only in memory and is lost on restart.

However, since you already have save-folder configured and Ofelia writes structured JSON files for each execution, it makes sense to restore history from those saved files on startup.

PR ready for review: #440

This implements automatic history restoration from saved files on startup. The feature:

• Restores execution history from saved JSON files when the daemon starts
• Only restores entries from the last 24 hours by default (configurable via restore-history-max-age)
• Can be disabled with restore-history = false if needed

Once merged and released, your job history will be automatically restored.
