Notable changes
- added configuration option for upload size limit - see doc
- changed automatic deletion of unclaimed recordings to a 2-step process - see doc
- added new speed setting to the recording settings page
- removed support for legacy uploads (pre-version 1)
- improved email sending reliability
- implemented honeypot fields in the login form to reduce signup spam
- updated the "welcome" recording
- added forum link to the navbar
- performed internal code maintenance and dependency upgrades
- removed example docker-compose.yml (see details below)
The example docker-compose.yml has been removed because there isn't one which fits all setups. Refer to the self-hosting quick-start guide and server configuration docs for example snippets to use in your own docker-compose.yml. Example Nginx config file has been removed as well. The docs now suggest use of Caddy, which is easier to configure and provides automatic HTTPS. You're free to continue using Nginx if that's what you prefer.

No manual changes needed other than bumping the container image version number as shown here.

Breaking changes
- the data (uploads) directory inside the container changed - see below
Upgrading
Bump the container image version number in docker-compose.yml:
services:
asciinema:
- image: ghcr.io/asciinema/asciinema-server:20231120
+ image: ghcr.io/asciinema/asciinema-server:20231216
# ...Next, update the volume mapping:
In previous versions, when local file store was used (default), the uploads were stored in /opt/app/uploads. Starting with this release, all persistent data is written to /var/opt/asciinema. Uploads in particular are stored in /var/opt/asciinema/uploads.
Right now, asciinema server writes to /var/opt/asciinema/uploads only, but in the future we may use other directories in /var/opt/asciinema/ to store other files.
The quick fix, is to make the following change to the volume mapping section:
services:
asciinema:
volumes:
- - ./path/to/asciinema/uploads:/opt/app/uploads
+ - ./path/to/asciinema/uploads:/var/opt/asciinema/uploads
# ...A more future proof solution is to change the mapping like this:
services:
asciinema:
volumes:
- - ./path/to/asciinema/uploads:/opt/app/uploads
+ - ./path/to/asciinema:/var/opt/asciinema
# ...Note the change also on the host side - we now map the parent directory of the uploads directory, which will let the server create other sub-directories next to uploads.
Finally, execute docker compose up -d.

Dateheader in login emails - the cache directory inside the container changed - see below
Upgrading
