Preview Builds

Try unreleased Arcane changes with the next image tags.

Run preview builds (also called next builds) on a test instance to try new features or verify fixes from the main branch before a stable release.

  1. Change the image tag in your compose.yaml to next.

Manager:

Terminal window
ghcr.io/getarcaneapp/manager:next

Agent:

Terminal window
ghcr.io/getarcaneapp/agent:next

Example compose.yaml:

services:
arcane:
image: ghcr.io/getarcaneapp/manager:next
container_name: arcane
ports:
- '3552:3552'
volumes:
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
- arcane-data:/app/data
environment:
- ARCANE_APP_URL=http://localhost:3552
- ARCANE_ENCRYPTION_KEY=<your-encryption-key>
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
arcane-data:
  1. Recreate the container:
Terminal window
docker compose up -d

Non-release builds (any version other than a plain release like v2.4.0) display a development icon for the logo, favicon, and app icons. To restore the standard logo, click the version number at the bottom of the sidebar and turn off Development Branding (requires settings:write).

Next Binaries

Open an issue on GitHub Issues and include the version number shown on your dashboard.

Preview images run static binaries on Arcane’s distroless base image (a minimal image without a shell or package manager).
