v0.20.0: Watch Paths, Remote Templates, Auto Backups Cleanup
March 11, 2025 • 2 min read
We are excited to announce Dokploy v0.20.0, packed with major improvements, new features, and a revamped template system! This release brings better automation, flexibility, and usability enhancements to streamline your deployments.
HTTP3 Support for Traefik
have migrated from Docker Swarm service to a standalone container for Traefik, which now supports HTTP3 by default for new installations. Existing installations will need to update their traefik.yml configuration:
Watch Paths for Selective Deployments
You can now specify watch paths to trigger deployments based on changes in specific directories. This provides more granular control over which parts of your project should be redeployed, reducing unnecessary builds and saving time, useful for monorepos.
New Remote Templates System
We have migrated templates to a separate repository—meaning templates are now independent of Dokploy releases! You can find them here: 👉 Dokploy Templates Repository
In addition, you can now specify a url to an external repository if you want to publish your own directory, the default directory is https://templates.dokploy.com/
Additionally, you can now import templates from the web using a Base64-encoded string, making it easier to test and deploy templates without waiting for new releases.
Database Rebuild Feature
Instead of deleting and recreating a database, you can now wipe your existing database with a single click and start from scratch.
Auto Backup Cleanup: Keep Only the Latest N Backups
Now you can specify how many backups to keep in your storage bucket. This ensures older backups are automatically cleaned up, preventing unnecessary files.
Additional Enhancements & Fixes
- Domains: Added support for custom certificate resolvers.
- Bulk Actions: Move and delete multiple services at once.
Breaking Changes
- Due to issue #1345 it was necessary to migrate from traefik service to standalone docker container, so when you upgrade you may have downtimes or crashes due to the recreation of the container, additionally the templates will have to be deployed again to update the references of the new traefik container.
Upgrade Now!
To start using the new features, update to v0.20.0 and let us know your feedback.
