On January 22, 2026, Dockhand switched from version 1.0.11 to the new 1.0.12 version. Dockhand fixes the following issues and adds new options:
New – Add SKIP_DF_COLLECTION env var to disable slow disk usage collection on NAS devices. If Dockhand’s dashboard loads slowly or times out on old NAS devices from the Synology or QNAP vendors, this is likely caused by Docker’s /system/df API call which can be extremely slow on certain storage backends. To disable disk usage collection entirely, set the SKIP_DF_COLLECTION environment variable like the example below. If you don’t experience any loading issues of the Dockhand dashboard, you don’t have to change anything.
docker run -d --name=Dockhand \ -p 3866:3000 \ -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ -v /volume1/docker/dockhand:/app/data:rw \ -e SKIP_DF_COLLECTION=true \ --restart=always \ fnsys/dockhand:latest
