Download Atelier Manager

The desktop app installs, updates, and backs up your Atelier site — a double-click app, no terminal needed. Pick the build for your system:

Platform	Download	Which one?
macOS	Atelier Manager (.dmg)	One file for any Mac — Apple Silicon or Intel.
Linux	.AppImage  ·  .deb  ·  .rpm	AppImage runs on any distro; .deb for Debian/Ubuntu, .rpm for Fedora/RHEL.
Windows	.exe  ·  .msi	Unsigned for now — if SmartScreen warns, choose More info → Run anyway.

New here? Full walkthrough at aincient-labs.com. You'll also need Docker (OrbStack or Docker Desktop) running.

⚠️ Installed before 2 August 2026? Read this before updating.

Sites from before then may have modules that current releases no longer ship, and cannot boot on an
image that lacks them. This release refuses such an update before it downloads and names the
modules; Atelier v0.5.1+ refuses to install over an existing database. The route back onto current
releases — verified end to end — is in #3.

Release Notes

Changed

• An update is now refused before it downloads if the new image is missing a module your site
  has installed. Drupal cannot start without an installed module's code, so an update across a
  release that dropped one leaves the site unable to boot — and the fix (uninstalling the module)
  is only possible on the version you are still running. Images now publish the extensions they
  ship, which Atelier reads straight from the registry, so the check happens before the ~500 MB
  pull and names the modules to uninstall first. It only ever acts on a definite answer: an older
  image that publishes no list, or a site it cannot read, means the update proceeds exactly as
  before, and the appliance's own check at boot remains the backstop.
• Edge is demoted to a testing channel. It ships unreleased work off main and was one menu
  selection away in the desktop app, which is not where a site you care about should be able to
  end up. The Updates menu now offers released versions only; an install already on edge still
  shows edge, and can move back. atelier app channel edge keeps working, behind a confirmation
  that says what it costs. Nothing changes for installs already following either channel.

Fixed

• A backup now records the exact image it was taken from, not just the channel it was following.
  The snapshot manifest stored the configured image reference — and on a moving channel (edge,
  latest) that names no particular build, so by the time you need the manifest it can point at a
  different release than the one your data ran on. It now records the image's digest and version
  alongside it, which identify one build permanently. Restoring a snapshot that came from a
  different image than the one installed prints a warning naming both, plus the
  atelier app install --image …@sha256:… that puts the data back on the build it is known to run
  on. It is a warning, not a refusal: restoring onto a different image is a legitimate recovery
  move. Backups made by earlier versions restore exactly as before, without the warning — they
  simply have no digest to compare.
