RelayKit
Features

Self-updating dashboard

RelayKit updates itself in place. The navbar shows your running version, checks GHCR anonymously, and one click stages and rolls the new release.

RelayKit is deployed as a versioned Docker image, and the dashboard can update itself — no SSH required.

How it works

  • The navbar shows the running version and a green update badge when a newer release exists on GHCR (checked anonymously via the OCI registry API — no auth server involved).
  • Clicking update pulls the new image, stages its bundled release.yml onto the shared data volume, and runs a one-shot helper container (over the Docker socket) that recreates the stack.
  • The control plane (RelayKit + Dokploy) restarts for a few seconds; Traefik and all your hosted services keep running throughout.
  • The dashboard shows an “updating” overlay and reconnects automatically when the new version is up. The update dialog includes release notes and status badges.
