v8.0.56 - 2025-12-11

So this is it, this is the final Alpha release before we declare Uberspace 8 Beta. At the same time this is the first release with a public changelog, all things are falling into place. Everything sparkles. Everything is new but also already vigorously tested by 60 brave testers.

On the menu today:

Added:

  • New docs: What's different to Uberspace 7?
  • Changelogs with RSS! 🎉
  • Daily MariaDB backups mounted via /backup_mariadb.
  • DNS validation for mail domains, get your records via uberspace mail domain show <domain>.
  • MSMTP: every asteroid got a default msmtp config (~/.config/msmtp/config), which works only locally. This is a drop-in replacement for sendmail.
  • Ruby is now officially preinstalled (with PATH setup; before we only manually installed installed the packages).
  • Selectable software versions for PHP: use uberspace tool version to manage it.
  • A new uberspace service command, you can use to quickly generate Systemd services.

Changed:

  • Your system mail address is now sysmail@<asteroid>.uber.space instead of <asteroid>@<asteroid>.uber.space.
  • Manual: add terminal windows and straighten color schemes for consistency.
  • We added a files system quota for your asteroid (same as U7).
  • We now use our own internal DNS resolvers (instead of public DNS); but 9.9.9.9, 1.1.1.1 & 8.8.8.8 (and their secondaries and IPv6 versions) are still used as fallback, in case our internal servers are down/overloaded, etc.
  • We renamed the mount point for backups to /backup (which before was a symlink to /misc/backup).
  • We now anonymize the client IP in the asteroid access log (/readonly/<ASTEROID>/logs/access.log), like this: IPv4 /16: 89.161.5.23 → 89.161.0.0 & IPv6 /32: 2a0b:20c0:1610:42:e48e::8 → 2a0b:20c0::.
