On September 30, 2026, Dockhand switched from version 1.0.49 to the new 1.0.50 version. Dockhand fixes the following issues and adds new options:
New – Update a container straight from its details view when a newer image is available
New – Duplicate a backup schedule to reuse its settings for another destination
New – Mark a secret provider as default so new stacks start with it selected
New – Optionally skip the login form, and sign out at the identity provider
New – Dashboard disk usage segments link straight to images, volumes or containers
New – The container file browser opens at the container’s working directory
New – Mattermost notifications arrive as colour-coded cards, like the discord ones
New – Container icons fall back to the image namespace when the name has none
New – Tag groups are ordered alphabetically by tag name
Fix: Oidc sign-in survives a restart and works across multiple replicas
Fix: Cleaner image scan logs, and the real registry error
Fix: Compose validate no longer flags variables a secret provider supplies
Fix: Updating a container through the API keeps its secondary networks and their aliases
Fix: Recreating a container no longer reuses its old auto-assigned MAC address
Fix: Podman’s default bridge is no longer shown as an extra network on containers
Fix: A scheduled container update clears its pending row, so update all no longer fails on it
Fix: Image prune no longer times out after 30s when filters are set
Fix: Exporting an image whose name contains a slash no longer fails
Fix: Percentage disk warnings are marked as unusable on hosts that report no total
Fix: https now starts with certificates that have no subject, like newer let’s encrypt ones
Fix: Dashboard keeps its top containers and recent events after a container event
Fix: the secret provider selector is no longer lost on save in the env text view
Fix: A git stack .env value can be quoted and refer to another variable
Fix: Update docker-compose 5.5.1-r1, devalue 5.9.2 and nodemailer 9.1.1 for security fixes
