We've released Relay v1.5.0 and Relay Manager v0.2.0 with expanded platform compatibility, improved stability, and several operational improvements for self-hosted relay deployments.
✨ What's New
  • Non-Root Service Installation on Linux
    – Relay Manager can now install and run the relay service as a dedicated non-root user, improving security posture for Linux deployments.
  • Broader Linux Distribution Compatibility
    – The Relay Manager binary is now statically linked, eliminating startup failures on older Linux distributions including Ubuntu 18.04 and RHEL 7.
🛠️ Improvements
  • Relay Configuration Error Surfacing
    – Errors in relay.conf are now surfaced directly rather than silently falling back to a default configuration, making misconfigurations easier to identify and resolve.
  • Stale or Custom Image Detection
    – Relay Manager now warns when a container is running from an outdated or custom-built image during status, install, and update operations.
🪲 Bug Fixes
  • Windows Relay Service Stability
    – Resolved an issue where the Windows relay service would stop every 72 hours due to a Task Scheduler execution time limit. The limit is now set to unlimited during installation.
