Spitfire 0.21.3 release notes
Released: 2026-10-10
- Full backup and restore: ./install.sh docker --backup FILE (Kubernetes: kubernetes --backup) writes the database and the installation's keys (SPITFIRE_SECRET_KEY included) to one file encrypted with a passphrase you choose; --restore FILE restores it on this or a new machine after installing. The current database is backed up first; a newer release's backup is refused on an older installation. Works on a Helm installation too.
- Docs: the Spitfire GitLab template under CI/CD (include remote + extends; the CLI comes from your controller and its SHA-256 is checked, with the merge request comment and the summaries).
Updating
Your installation tells you about a new release itself: admins see its notes and the update command for that installation at the top of the UI. The command backs up the database first and keeps the settings (Updating). You can also follow new releases with the RSS feed.
