Options drained out of the pre-0.38.0 `DOCKER_OPTIONS_<PHASE>` files were copied verbatim rather than re-serialized the way `docker-options:add` stores them, so `docker-options:remove` compared the canonical string it builds against a stored value that could never match it and exited successfully without removing anything. Removal now matches stored options by shell word, and stored options are rewritten into the canonical form once on upgrade, which additionally splits an entry that carried several flags on a single line into one entry per flag so a single flag can be removed and so the readers that match on a flag prefix see one value per entry. The leftover `.migrated` sentinel drain is restored to running ahead of the global short-circuit that had made it unreachable, and the plugin's Go tests are added to the test target that had never run them.
The `docker-local` scheduler supports `--sysctl` for free because docker options are passed verbatim to `docker run`, but the k3s scheduler silently dropped it. Namespaced sysctls now render into the pod's `securityContext.sysctls` for deployments, cron jobs, and one-off runs. A sysctl the kernel does not namespace fails the deploy instead of being dropped, since it cannot take effect within a pod regardless of what was requested.
Values supplied through docker options, `--ttl-seconds`, and `-e` flowed into a Bash `eval` during build, deploy, and run, letting a low-privileged user execute arbitrary commands on the host as the dokku user. These arguments are now tokenized and passed through to the container verbatim, without shell expansion. A one-time migration repairs stored labels whose backticks were saved with a stray backslash so Traefik-style rules stay valid on the next deploy.
Add parallel -list keys to docker-options:report --format json so export
tools can round-trip options without splitting space-joined strings.
Closes#8799
The docker-options DOCKER_OPTIONS_<PHASE>.migrated sentinels and the storage data/storage-registry/migrations/<app> flag files are now stored as per-app properties (`migrated-<phase>` and `legacy-mounts-migrated` respectively), so they survive a property-store backup/restore and align with the existing `migrated-from-files`, `env-migrated`, and `nginx-conf-sigil-migrated` patterns. The new markers are written only when a non-empty legacy source was actually migrated, distinguishing apps that never had legacy state from apps that did and were drained. A one-cycle upgrade-cycle conversion drains any leftover filesystem sentinels into the new properties and removes the files; for docker-options the conversion deliberately runs before the global `migrated-from-files` short-circuit so installs upgrading from the previous release still get their `.migrated` files converted.
Renames the existing `## Internal properties` umbrella section to `## Properties` across all plugin docs and adds a new `### Settable properties` subsection enumerating every property accepted by each plugin's `:set` command. Each row lists scope, default, the actual `:report` flag shapes that surface the value, and a one-line description. The buildpacks plugin is included even though it uses `:set-property`, with a note in the subsection clarifying the legacy command name. Property lists, scopes, and report flags were verified against plugin source and the live dokku binary.
The bats coverage for plugin :report keys has been uneven since the raw/global/computed split landed in PR #8640. This commit adds a single combined triplet test per settable property across app-json, builder, builder-dockerfile, builder-herokuish, builder-lambda, builder-nixpacks, builder-pack, builder-railpack, buildpacks, cron (maintenance), git (keep-git-dir, rev-env-var, source-image), logs (vector-sink, vector-global-image, vector-global-networks), network (attach-post-create, attach-post-deploy, initial-network), proxy (per-app type), ps (stop-timeout-seconds), registry (image-repo, push-on-release, push-extra-tags), storage (build/deploy/run mounts), and adds a new tests/unit/scheduler.bats and tests/unit/nginx-vhosts_properties.bats. Brings ps `procfile-path` and `stop-timeout-seconds` global getters in line with the #8640 convention (raw global, default resolved in computed). Documents the read-only and internal properties that surface in `:report` (or are written by Dokku) but cannot be managed by `:set` in a new `## Internal properties` section appended to each affected plugin's docs page.
Multi-flag inputs (e.g. `--build-arg X=Y --link a --link b`) used to be stored as a single line, which bypassed the per-line filter that drops `--link` and similar flags for dockerfile-based builders. Each `--flag [value]` group is now stored as its own entry, and a `--process` typed after the app name is lifted into the subcommand flag instead of being stored as a docker option.
Adds a `--process` flag (repeatable) to docker-options:add/remove/clear/list and the new docker-options:list subcommand for querying a single process+phase pair. Process scoping is supported only for the deploy phase since build runs once per app and run covers ad-hoc commands and cron tasks where no Procfile process type is available. Storage moves from `$DOKKU_ROOT/$APP/DOCKER_OPTIONS_*` files to property lists under `/var/lib/dokku/config/docker-options/$APP/{processType}.{phase}`, with `_default_` as the sentinel for app-wide options. The install trigger migrates pre-existing DOCKER_OPTIONS_* files into property lists once and renames them to `.migrated`; a global marker makes re-runs strictly no-op. The legacy docker-args-{build,deploy,run} bash triggers are reimplemented in Go alongside a new docker-args-process-deploy trigger that surfaces per-process options to the scheduler. The :report command exposes one dynamic flag per configured `process.deploy` pair (e.g. `--docker-options-deploy.web`) and supports `--format json`. There is no `--global` flag; omitting `--process` keeps the historical default behaviour, since `--global` elsewhere in dokku means "across all apps". Closes#2441.
Dokku internals shouldn't be exposed in docs. Additionally, the internals here are likely to change in the future as this moves to the upcoming prop binary, so having incorrect docs will hinder that move.
