Snikket server release (2025-12-15)

We are pleased to announce a new stable release of the Snikket server software! For an introduction to the new changes in this release, do check out the release announcement blog post.

For a more complete list of changes, including upgrade instructions, read on here.

This release has the version number stable.20251215.

Note: Due to some issues that were found shortly after the previous release, we held back update notifications to enable further testing. This means no update notifications were sent out for the November 2025 release. If this is your first time upgrading for a while, check out the release notes for that release as well!

Upgrading

To upgrade your instance, follow the instructions in the upgrade guide.

If you are currently on a beta release but want to switch to stable ones, simply put :stable instead of :beta, or download the new docker-compose.yml here, e.g. by running:

curl -o docker-compose.yml https://snikket.org/service/resources/docker-compose.yml
