Posted by Chris
SparkBox releases shipped on Wed Oct 28, 2026 (UTC), in order, newest at the bottom. This thread is updated as releases land during the day. Update from the SparkBox dashboard, or run sudo sparkbox upgrade on your SparkBox host. Legend boxes get every release the day it ships; free boxes get it after it has run there for a week. If a problem remains after updating, submit a private support ticket or reply below with the app name, what you expected, and what happened instead. Earlier days: Tue Oct 27, 2026 · Sun Oct 25, 2026 · Wed Oct 21, 2026 · Tue Oct 20, 2026 · Mon Oct 19, 2026 · Sun Oct 18, 2026 · Sat Oct 17, 2026 v1.7.9 — Going back to an earlier version no longer leaves an app restarting over and over - After you go back to an earlier SparkBox version (sudo sparkbox rollback, or the automatic step back after an update that failed), an app like Portainer no longer keeps restarting. When the newer version had already upgraded that app's data, SparkBox keeps just that app on its newer version and tells you which apps it kept. - sudo sparkbox doctor now tells you when an app keeps stopping because its data was saved by a newer version of the app, and shows how to fix it. - Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, Lidarr and Chaptarr: if their login setup or a password reset is cut short, SparkBox now starts the app again instead of leaving it stopped, and tells you the one command to run if it still won't start. - Safety improvements to how SparkBox sets up app logins and repairs app files.
