v0.14.0 Beta available (Docker) — testers welcome

[codebyit]

🧪 v0.14.0 Beta is here — testers welcome!

A few of you asked about trying early builds, so here's the first one. 🙌

The v0.14.0 beta is available now as a Docker image. It's the upcoming release (cartridge expiry alerts, the per-channel maintenance updates, and Service Action Log retention) — see the full preview in the v0.14.0 announcement.

ℹ️ Betas are Docker-only. There's no Windows installer or Microsoft Store build for betas — that keeps testing quick and safe. Windows/Store users will get v0.14.0 through the normal release once it's ready.

How to try it

If you already run InkTracker with Docker Compose, point it at the beta image. In your .env:

APP_IMAGE=ghcr.io/codebyit/inktracker:v0.14.0-beta.2

then:

docker compose -f docker-compose.public.yml pull
docker compose -f docker-compose.public.yml up -d

Or pull it directly:

docker pull ghcr.io/codebyit/inktracker:v0.14.0-beta.2

That's it — database migrations run automatically on startup, and they're additive.

Good to know

• 🔖 The beta is pinned to the exact tag v0.14.0-beta.2. Your :latest is untouched, so nothing auto-updates to the beta.
• 💾 Back up first if you're testing against real data. Betas are for trying things out — use Settings → Data → Backup, or test on a throwaway copy. Migrations are forward-only.
• 🔙 To go back to stable, set APP_IMAGE back to ghcr.io/codebyit/inktracker:latest and pull + up -d again.

What I'd love feedback on

• The new expiry alerts — do the badges, the "use next" hint, and the dashboard banner make sense?
• The maintenance changes and the Service Action Log filters/retention.
• Anything that feels off, confusing, or broken.
