Ten releases between v1.15.1 and v1.17.0, in five days. Most of it is for people who run nextDash next to their containers: the Containers view grew up, Unraid has widgets of its own, and your services get their real icons. The theme browser also became a look studio. Here is what changed, by area. Containers The Containers table has sortable headings, CPU, RAM, Size and Restarts columns you can show or hide, and grouping by project, status, network or image. Shift+Y opens the view from the dashboard. Each container gets a timeline in its side panel: started, crashed with an exit code, turned unhealthy, updated, rolled back. The panel also shows the last five healthcheck results, and l opens a live logs window. nextDash follows Docker’s event stream instead of polling, so a crash the restart policy fixes within seconds still sends a notice. So does a container that stays […]
Two things happened in 1.6.0, and they turned out to be the same thing. A theme stopped being a list of colours and became a set of decisions about material — how solid a surface is, how much light bleeds off it, how faint the faint text is allowed to get. And Health and the Inbox stopped being two views that happened to look similar and became two views built out of one shell. Both are about the parts of the app that were being drawn twice, slightly differently, by nobody in particular. Source and downloads: github.com/jordibrouwer/nextdash — release notes: v1.6.0 on GitHub Two things change on screen the moment you are on 1.6.0, both deliberate, both explained below: 111 dark themes get a different backdrop, and Health looks substantially different. There is a note at the end about what that means for an install you have had running a […]
This is the biggest thing I have shipped for nextDash: seventy changes across twelve areas, and four of them are new ground rather than a better version of something that was already there. The dashboard can hold blocks that are not bookmarks. A page can be kept somewhere you will still be able to read it after the site goes. The 214 built-in themes are a grid you can search instead of a listbox you scroll. And bookmarks can arrive from services that keep sending them, rather than only from a file you import once. 1.4.0 will open the What’s new window once after you upgrade. There is one behaviour change worth reading before you pull the image — it is under Upgrading, at the bottom. Source and downloads: github.com/jordibrouwer/nextdash — release notes: v1.4.0 on GitHub $ the grid in 1.4.0 — Uptime, Health trend and a Custom widget reading […]
nextDash 1.2.0 is already out! It is the keyboard release — typing on the dashboard now does only what you meant it to — and it is the release where three views stop claiming to know more than they do: the inbox was counting links it was not showing you, and a failed health check worked out exactly why it had failed and then threw that away. And this morning, 1.2.1 followed with a single fix in Health, which is covered at the end. Source and downloads: github.com/jordibrouwer/nextdash — release notes: CHANGELOG.md nextDash 1.2.0 — 16 August 2026 What you type arrives whole This is the fix that matters most, and it is worth explaining properly, because the old behaviour was subtly worse than it looked. Bookmark shortcuts fired the moment the typed text matched one exactly. Type github with a shortcut on git and the bookmark opened after three […]
Every release of nextDash up to now has carried a date instead of a version number: v2026.09.09, v2026.09.09.1, v2026.09.09.2, and so on, a new tag almost every day through a long stretch of active development. v1.0.0, released today, breaks that pattern on purpose. It’s the first release under semantic versioning, and it’s a deliberate milestone rather than an incremental one: after a long run of bug fixing and consolidation, the app finally feels finished and stable rather than in flux. From here, 1.x.0 releases carry new features and 1.0.x releases carry fixes — a distinction the date-based scheme never made. The comparison logic for the new numbering actually shipped a few point releases earlier, under v2026.09.09.3, so v1.0.0 is really the moment the switch was made official. What’s inside is almost entirely correctness work, and it follows one recurring shape: an operation that reported success for something it hadn’t actually […]
The dashboard header has quietly nagged at me for a while. The word “health” sat there as plain text, easy to miss, saying nothing about whether anything was actually wrong until you clicked it. In v2026.07.09 that text link becomes a small heartbeat icon, and it does something the word never could: it counts. When a bookmark goes offline or throws a warning, the icon carries a pill with the number, red for broken links and amber for warnings. When everything’s fine, it simply isn’t there. No noise, no empty badge waiting to be dismissed — just a signal that only shows up when it’s earned its place. It’s on by default now too, for new installs and for anyone whose settings never explicitly turned it off, though if you’d already switched it off yourself, that choice still sticks. The same icon treatment made its way onto the config page’s […]
