Docka v0.8.5
Docka v0.8.5
Docka v0.8.5 advances self-hosted deployment reliability, observability usability, and the hardened Linux runtime. It is built from 661bd3bdda2624f4bf9f7718e917097782b57dd4 (source range v0.8.2..v0.8.5).
Product Highlights
- More deterministic tenant log pagination and improved grouped-log badge contrast.
- Hardened deployment routing and recovery behavior for managed agents.
- Guarded Box VM restart and supervisor-routing improvements for hosted workloads.
- Improved terminal runtime packaging and mobile interaction reliability.
SaaS Updates
- Adds a read-only MCP beta for the SaaS edition only; MCP is deliberately not present in the distributed binary or CLI.
- Aligns SaaS plans and prepaid billing behavior, with stronger tenant-management read protections.
Distributed Updates
- Strengthens distributed deployment routing and agent recovery.
- Keeps the self-hosted bootstrap independent of a source checkout, with the distributed schema and the matching raw Linux agent bundled in each server archive.
- Retains Linux amd64 and arm64 runtime support.
Fixes & Patches
- Preserves the MCP API-key authentication challenge in the SaaS-only endpoint.
- Improves runtime health-error reporting and accessible managed-tooltip labels.
- Makes grouped log metadata easier to read while retaining the existing log experience.
Distributed Runtime & Packaging
- Server archives contain
docka-server,docka-worker, Docker Compose bootstrap files, distributed schema/migrations, and one raw matching agent binary. - Standalone agent binaries are garble-compiled and UPX-compressed for Linux amd64 and arm64.
- The distributed binary and CLI exclude the SaaS-only MCP surface.

Compatibility & Notes
- Distributed artifacts are Linux-only for amd64 and arm64 and run without cloning the source repository.
- One-time security exception: v0.8.5 is intentionally unsigned at maintainer request because GitHub Actions were budget-blocked and the release signing key was unavailable. This release includes
checksums.txtbut nochecksums.txt.sig. - Manually verify SHA-256 checksums before installation. Do not enable strict signature mode or rely on automatic agent self-updates for these artifacts; both remain fail-closed without a detached signature. A future signed release will restore the normal verification and update path.
