On July 25, 2026, Dockhand switched from version 1.0.37 to the new 1.0.38 version. Dockhand fixes the following issues and adds new options:
New – Container/stacks backups (beta), gated with FEAT_BACKUPS_ENABLED
New – View a Git stack’s compose YAML and dependency graph read-only by clicking its name
New – DNS_RESULT_ORDER=verbatim enables IPv6 fallback for outbound requests on IPv4-broken hosts
Fix: Deploy on a plain internal stack no longer 500s when the request has no body
Fix: Wider Activity event details modal
Fix: Container updates refresh image-provided env vars and labels, overrides are kept
Fix: Private repos with a token credential and no username now authenticate
Fix: Dashboard CPU history no longer spikes past 100% on busy/churny hosts
Fix: Failed updates (e.g. Docker Hub limits) show a ‘check failed’ instead of silently reporting no update
Fix: Git stacks reject uppercase names upfront instead of leaving an orphaned clone
Fix: Scan all images now covers untagged digest-pinned images instead of skipping them
Fix: Registry containers stuck on a moved tag are no longer misread as “local” and skipped from updates
Fix: Bump docker-compose 5.2.0-r0 -> 5.3.1-r1 (CVE-2026-42505)
Fix: Bump Go 1.25.11 -> 1.25.12 (patches 4 stdlib CVEs)
Fix: Volume prune now removes named unused volumes, keeping scanner caches
Fix: OIDC/network errors now show the underlying cause instead of a bare “fetch failed”
Fix: Ntfy webhook with a trailing slash on the topic no longer fails with a 404
Fix: Stack deploy and git sync notifications now actually fire on real deploys
