v0.28.0: SSO, SAML, and a New Patches System
February 27, 2026 • 2 min read

This update focuses on SSO for enterprise, a Patches feature, major networking improvements with Traefik, and better deployment visibility and reliability across the platform.
SSO and SAML support
Managing authentication across organizations can be complex. That’s no longer the case. Dokploy now provides improved support for SSO and SAML providers, making it easier to integrate with your existing identity systems.
You can configure and manage providers directly from the dashboard, define trusted origins, and securely link accounts. This makes authentication more flexible while maintaining strong security standards for your organization.


Patches for Applications and Docker Compose services
Many repositories work out of the box, but often require small adjustments to properly run in a self-hosted environment. Instead of maintaining custom forks, Dokploy has introduced a Patches system for Applications and Docker Compose services.
You can apply persistent modifications directly from the dashboard. These changes are automatically applied before every deployment, allowing you to customize configuration files or source code safely and consistently, without breaking your upgrade path.

You can update, delete and add new files to your deployment.

New notification providers
We’ve expanded Dokploy’s notification system by adding support for Resend and Microsoft Teams.
You can now send deployment events, failures, and important updates via email using Resend, or directly to your Teams channels using incoming webhooks. This feature gives you more flexibility in how you monitor your infrastructure and keep your team informed in real time.

Additional Enhancements
- We significantly improved Dokploy’s instance recovery process. In some scenarios, especially after a server restart or unexpected crash, Dokploy would not fully recover. We've enhanced the recovery process to ensure the platform restores itself more reliably after crashes or reboots, improving overall stability in production environments.
- We fixed an issue where services using isolated deployments would not reconnect properly after Traefik was restarted, Previously, if Traefik restarted (for example, after a server reboot), isolated deployments could remain unreachable until they were manually redeployed. This issue has now been resolved. Services will now automatically reconnect when Traefik restarts, improving reliability and reducing the need for manual intervention after crashes or server restarts.
We want to express our gratitude! We've reached 31k stars on GitHub and over 7 million downloads on DockerHub. Thank you so much for your incredible support!
