0.8.0 Alpha 2
Important
macOS first launch (no code signing yet). After dragging StemDeck to Applications, clear the Gatekeeper quarantine flag or macOS will say the app is damaged:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/StemDeck.app
Upgrading from alpha.9 or earlier? If after installing you still see an old version or are missing recent features, clear the cached runtime once and relaunch:
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/StemDeck/runtime ~/Library/Application\ Support/StemDeck/runtime.old
What's new in 0.8.0 Alpha 2
Server/Docker mode fixes
- Network access is now on by default in server mode. Previously, Docker and headless deployments required manually setting
STEMDECK_ALLOW_NETWORK=1or the server would block all clients with "StemDeck is not available on the network". The app now detects server mode automatically (absence ofSTEMDECK_DESKTOP) and opens the network gate without any extra configuration. - Docker port binding fixed.
docker-compose.ymlwas binding to127.0.0.1:8000, which prevented network clients from reaching the container at the host level. It now binds to0.0.0.0:8000so devices on your network can connect. - Network and port settings are read-only in server mode. The Advanced settings tab now shows the network toggle and port field as disabled with a note explaining they are controlled by the server configuration (e.g.
docker-compose.yml), not the UI.
YouTube Shorts support
- YouTube Shorts URLs (
youtube.com/shorts/<id>) are now accepted and processed like regular YouTube videos.
Installing
- macOS: drop the
.appinto Applications and launch (run thexattrcommand above first). - Windows: unzip the downloaded
.zip, then runStemDeck.exefrom the extracted folder. - Linux: download the
.tar.gzfor your hardware, extract it, and run./StemDeck. Install the WebKitGTK + GTK runtime prerequisites first (FFmpeg is fetched automatically on first launch):The NVIDIA build additionally needs a working NVIDIA driver such thatsudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0 libgtk-3-0nvidia-smireports your GPU (the CUDA runtime itself is bundled -- no separate CUDA toolkit install needed). If you have no NVIDIA GPU, use the CPU-only tarball.
Artifact scan
- The Linux portable packages (CPU and NVIDIA) were scanned with ClamAV in CI before upload.
- Windows portable packages were scanned with ClamAV in CI before upload.
Artifact build
- macOS arm64 and x64 DMGs and runtime packs were built and inspected on a macOS GitHub Actions runner before upload.
