Supporter Access - Latest Docker Images

Get access to OpenPanel's latest private Docker images with bleeding-edge features built on every commit.

Thank You for Your Support! 🙏

First and foremost, thank you for supporting OpenPanel! Your contribution means the world to us and helps keep this project alive, maintained, and constantly improving. Every dollar you contribute goes directly into development, infrastructure, and making OpenPanel better for everyone.

As a supporter, you get exclusive access to our private Docker images that are built with every commit, giving you the absolute latest features and fixes before they're publicly released.

Why Latest Images Matter

Bleeding-Edge Features

  • Instant access: Get new features the moment they're merged
  • Early bug fixes: Patches and fixes deployed immediately
  • Continuous improvements: Performance enhancements and optimizations in real-time
  • Stay ahead: Run the most advanced version of OpenPanel available

Built on Every Commit

We maintain a continuous integration pipeline that builds new Docker images with every single commit to our repository. This means:

  • Zero delay between development and deployment
  • Production-ready images tested and validated automatically
  • Access to features weeks or months before stable releases

How It Works

Our private Docker images are hosted on GitHub's container registry and protected from public access. As a supporter, you get an API key that grants you access to our private Docker proxy at docker.openpanel.dev, which seamlessly pulls these images for you.

Getting Started

Step 1: Become a Supporter

Support starts at just $20/month and includes:

  • Access to all private Docker images
  • Priority support in our Discord community
  • Direct impact on OpenPanel's development
  • Our eternal gratitude ❤️

Step 2: Get Your API Key

Once you become a supporter, you'll receive a unique API key that grants access to our Docker proxy.

Step 3: Login to Docker Registry

On your server, authenticate with our Docker proxy using your API key:

echo "your_api_key" | docker login docker.openpanel.dev -u user --password-stdin

Replace your_api_key with the actual API key provided to you.

Make sure to keep your API key secure and never commit it to version control!

Step 4: Update to Latest Images

We've created a convenient script to make updating your images effortless. Navigate to your self-hosting folder and run:

./get_latest_images apply

This script will:

  • Check that you're authenticated with our Docker registry
  • Fetch the latest Git tags from our repository
  • Update your docker-compose.yml with the new image tags pointing to the latest builds

The script will automatically check if you're logged in. If not, it will provide you with instructions to authenticate first.

You can also check what tags are available without applying them:

./get_latest_images           # Show latest tags
./get_latest_images --list    # List all available tags

Step 5: Restart Your Services

After pulling the latest images, simply restart your services:

./restart

That's it! Your OpenPanel instance is now running the latest and greatest version.

Quick Update Workflow

Once you're set up, updating to the latest version is as simple as:

cd /path/to/self-hosting
./get_latest_images apply
./restart

This entire process takes less than a minute, giving you instant access to new features and fixes.

The get_latest_images script will:

  1. Verify you're logged into the Docker registry
  2. Fetch the latest tags from GitHub
  3. Update your docker-compose.yml with images pointing to the latest commit SHAs
  4. Create a backup of your docker-compose file before making changes

Important Notes

  • Stability: While these images are tested, they may occasionally contain bugs that haven't been discovered yet. We recommend having a backup strategy.
  • Breaking changes: We strive to maintain backwards compatibility, but occasionally breaking changes may occur. Always check the changelog before updating.
  • Support: As a supporter, you have priority access to support. If you encounter any issues, reach out to us on Discord or via email.
