Release Notes

Back us on Patreon or GitHub Sponsors. Your continued support helps us provide regular updates and services like world maps. Thank you! 💜

You can test new features by changing the image tag in your docker-compose.yml from :latest to :preview, then pulling the most recent image, and finally restarting your instance.

Getting Updates

Even when you use an image with the :latest tag, Docker does not automatically download new images for you. To update, you can either manually pull the most recent image and restart, or set up a service like Watchtower to get automatic updates.
