Manual

Uberspace is a hosting platform targeted at people who want to look behind the scenes, do things we didn’t anticipate and generally prefer working with a text-based console.

Our objective is to not only host the content you’d like to see on the web, but also to introduce you to Linux and basic shell usage.

Uberspace 8 is in public beta

Uberspace 8 is currently in the public beta phase. We're working on feature parity with Uberspace 7 but are not quite there yet.

Current Release: v8.0.95 - 2026-09-11

Added:

  • We now provide yazi, fastfetch, and zbar.

Changed:

  • Sieve filters now allow a maximum of 10 redirect actions.
  • We now block web requests to version control directories (.git, .hg, .jj, .svn, and Sapling’s .sl), common files and directories that may contain secrets (.aws, .docker, .npmrc, .htaccess, and .htpasswd), and environment files (.env and .env.*). Requests to these paths now return 403 Forbidden.

Fixed:

  • Outgoing connections to external servers on port 25 are blocked again. Moving Asteroids into network namespaces had unintentionally bypassed the global firewall rules that already blocked these connections.
  • Cronjobs now run in their Asteroid’s systemd slice instead of /system.slice/cronie.service.

Why is my version higher?

Sometimes the version shown on your host may be higher than the newest version listed here. This usually means we have applied minor internal adjustments or hotfixes shortly after a release that do not directly impact user functionality. Such updates are not always included in this changelog.
