### Other
- #8640: @josegonzalez Split report global keys into raw and computed
The canonical encode pipeline `echo "value" | base64` silently appends `\n` to the value, which round-trips through base64 and ends up stored in the env. Document that decoded values are stored byte-for-byte, recommend `printf '%s'` or `echo -n` for short inline values, and show `cat | base64 -w 0` for files. Adds a bats test asserting all four encoding patterns produce the expected stored bytes.
Closes#8647.
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 internal-properties tables on builds.md (8 --build-* flags),
ssl.md (8 --ssl-* flags), and process-management.md (4 ps flags) each
crammed all the flags into a single comma-separated table row with one
umbrella description. Splits each into a row per flag with a specific
description and the actual code-path source (the build record write
path, the openssl x509 parse target, the ps inspection helper).
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.
The `<plugin>-global-<property>` keys in `:report` output returned the resolved value with the built-in default substituted in, so external tooling could not distinguish a property that had been set globally to the default from one that had never been set. The bare keys for caddy, haproxy, and traefik global-only properties had the same shape. The `global-<property>` keys now hold the raw stored value and are empty when nothing has been set, and a new `computed-<property>` key holds the effective value used at runtime, falling back through the per-app value (where one exists), the global value, and the built-in default. The bare global-only keys for the three proxy plugins are removed in favor of the raw/computed pair. Closes#8631.
`cron:set --global` wrote the property but emitted `unknown flag: --global` because the post-set `scheduler-cron-write` trigger received `--global` as the appName arg, which pflag rejected before reaching the trigger body.
The trigger args now omit appName for global writes, and the `scheduler-k3s` cron-write trigger short-circuits when called without an app since per-app reconciliation requires a real app name. The docker-local trigger already regenerates the global crontab from all apps so global `mailfrom`/`mailto` are picked up without any further changes.
The Docker daemon refuses any endpoint settings on the default bridge network and `docker compose` unconditionally attaches the service name as an alias on every joined network, so combining bridge with user-defined networks via compose's `networks:` block is impossible. When `vector-networks` is set, the compose template now joins only the configured networks; outbound to external sinks still works through user-defined network NAT. Additionally, `vector-image` and `vector-networks` are both global-only but `common.CommandPropertySet` silently accepts them at app level by merging global-only keys into the valid-property set, so both now reject explicitly in `validateSetValue`.
Adds a new global `vector-networks` property on the logs plugin that takes a comma-separated list of Docker networks. When set, the rendered compose file declares each network plus `bridge` as external and joins them on the vector service, so `docker compose up` reconciles attachments on every `logs:vector-start`. When unset, the existing `network_mode: bridge` template is preserved unchanged. The value is validated against `docker network inspect` at set time, rejects the reserved `bridge` entry, and is surfaced in `dokku logs:report` via `--logs-vector-global-networks`.
The ports plugin's `post-certs-update` trigger was rewriting every `https:443:*` mapping from the app's `http:80:*` mappings, silently overwriting any user-defined mapping such as `https:443:443` used by apps that terminate TLS inside the container. The trigger now skips the rewrite when an `https:443:*` mapping already exists, keeping the default behavior only when the app has no explicit HTTPS mapping configured.
Closes#8619.
The bare `tls-internal` key previously returned the computed value, so external tooling could not tell whether the property had been set on the app or was merely defaulting to `false`. The property is now also configurable with `--global`, the report exposes `computed-tls-internal` and `global-tls-internal` keys alongside the bare raw key, and the deploy path honors the per-app value with a fallback to the global value before the built-in default. Closes#8625.
Adds `certs-set` and `certs-remove` plugin triggers so other plugins can install or remove an app's SSL cert/key pair without shelling out to the `dokku certs:add` / `dokku certs:remove` subcommands. Shared implementations live as `fn-certs-set` and `fn-certs-remove` in `plugins/certs/internal-functions`, with the subcommands and the new triggers calling `verify_app_name` before delegating.

The bare `init-process` and `parallel-schedule-count` keys previously returned the computed value, so external tooling could not tell whether a property had been set on the app or was merely defaulting. Both properties are now also configurable with `--global`, the report exposes `computed-*` and `global-*` keys alongside the bare raw keys, and the deploy path honors the global value before falling back to the linuxserver.io vendor heuristic.
The bare `deploy-branch` and `keep-git-dir` keys in `git:report` returned the computed (effective) value rather than the raw per-app value, with no separate `computed-*` key to distinguish "set per-app" from "falling back to global or default". This left external tooling unable to detect a per-app unset without out-of-band state. The bare keys now hold the raw per-app value (empty when unset) and new `computed-deploy-branch` and `computed-keep-git-dir` keys hold the effective value, matching the convention used by `nginx-vhosts`, `network`, and `builder`. Closes#8610.
The official dokku/dokku image gains a HEALTHCHECK directive backed by a loopback-only HTTP endpoint at `127.0.0.1:18080/_dokku/health`. The endpoint reports 200 once first-boot bootstrap finishes, sshd and nginx are accepting connections, and `dokku ps:restore` completes; otherwise it returns 503. Changes are scoped to the Docker overlay and Dockerfile so debian-package installs are unaffected.
The shipped catch-all default site uses `ssl_reject_handshake`, which is unsupported on nginx older than 1.19.4 and causes nginx to fail to start on Debian Bullseye. The postinst now detects the installed nginx version and installs an HTTP-only variant of the catch-all on older systems.
Replaces the `DOKKU_ARCHIVE_MAX_SIZE` and `DOKKU_ARCHIVE_MAX_FILES` environment variables with global git properties (`archive-max-size` and `archive-max-files`), configurable via `dokku git:set --global` and surfaced through `dokku git:report --global`. Defaults remain `1073741824` bytes and `10000` entries.
Archives passed to git:from-archive and certs:add were extracted without symlink or path validation, allowing a crafted archive to write arbitrary files anywhere writable by the dokku user via symlink traversal. Extraction now pre-scans entries for absolute paths, parent traversal, and unsafe symlinks, applies the GNU tar `--no-unsafe-links` flag when available, and validates symlinks after extraction.
Add defense-in-depth sanitization for OpenResty include files to prevent
OS command injection via malicious filenames that break shell quoting in eval.
- Add filename validation in core-post-extract using regex [^a-zA-Z0-9_.-]
- Validate both http-includes and location-includes paths
- Abort deploy via dokku_log_fail on unsafe filenames
- Skip non-regular files (symlinks, directories) during extraction
- Add security regression test with unsafe filename containing space
- Keep existing guards in docker-args-process-deploy as belt-and-suspenders
- Update documentation to clarify allowed filename characters
Addresses CVSS 9.9 vulnerability where filenames like poc'$(cmd)'x.conf
could escape shell quoting and execute arbitrary commands during deploy.
The byjg/easy-haproxy image polls Docker for label changes every 10
seconds by default, which races with the haproxy bats suite and
intermittently produces curl exit 7. Expose `refresh-conf` as a
global-only haproxy property that maps to `EASYHAPROXY_REFRESH_CONF`,
lower it to 2 seconds in the bats setup, and wrap the localhost HTTP
assertions in a retry loop so checks wait for haproxy to converge
rather than failing on the first attempt.
The 0.38.0 migration documents `proxy:set <app> type <value>` as the canonical way to set the proxy implementation, but several user-facing examples still taught the legacy implicit form. Switch every example over to the explicit property syntax so the docs match the migration guide and other property-based plugin commands.
Per-plugin management docs now describe the properties introduced by the env-var-to-property migration in PR #8498, and stale prose and command-output examples that still referenced the old `DOKKU_*` names have been refreshed. The deprecated env vars table moves out of `environment-variables.md` and into the 0.38.0 migration guide, where it functions as a one-time pointer for upgrading users rather than ongoing reference material.
