Elestio Catalog Updates: 13 New Releases This Week (July 26 - August 1, 2026)

It was a busy week across the Elestio catalog, with releases landing everywhere from databases to document management. This roundup covers the notable open-source updates from July 26 to August 1, 2026, so you can see what changed in the tools you actually run. No critical CVEs hit catalog services this week, which is the kind of quiet we like.

Databases

• Valkey 9.1.1 (late July): the community-run, Redis-compatible fork shipped a maintenance release with stability fixes. If you moved off Redis after the relicensing, this is a clean, low-risk bump to stay current on.

Development

• n8n (July 29): the headline release of the week. n8n added an AI workflow builder, a workflow review feature, native MCP support, expanded API capabilities, and stronger admin-managed credentials with better OAuth handling. Native MCP turns your workflows into tools an AI agent can call directly, which is a real shift in what n8n is for.
• Supabase (late July): the self-hosted stack switched its default API gateway from Kong to Envoy, bringing a hardened, HTTP-first setup with config-as-code routing. Wrappers v0.6.2 also lets you query and join MongoDB collections straight from Postgres.
• Authentik 2026.5.3 (late July): a maintenance update for the identity provider, flagged as a safe upgrade. Auth is the one service you never let fall behind, so take it.

Hosting & Infrastructure

• Grafana 13.0.3 (late July): a maintenance point release for the observability layer, marked safe to update. Boring, which on the dashboard you stare at during incidents is exactly what you want.
• Uptime Kuma 2.4.0 (late July): the default self-hosted monitoring and status-page tool shipped a new 2.x release with fixes and refinements. A low-risk upgrade for anyone running it.

Applications

• Paperless-ngx 3.0.4 (July 29): following 3.0.3, this release polished OCR, search indexing, permissions, previews, email parsing, and the LLM workflows. Document handling is smoother and live updates are more reliable.
• Immich v3 (late July): the self-hosted photo app continued its 3.x line and began publishing its Android app to FUTO's official F-Droid repository, so you can install the client without going through the Play Store.
• Nextcloud 34.0.2 (July): maintenance updates landed across the supported lines, with recommended versions 32.0.13, 33.0.7, and 34.0.2 for Hub 25 Autumn, 26 Winter, and 26 Spring. Routine, but worth applying if you run the productivity suite.
• Vaultwarden (late July): worth a mention because the Bitwarden clients hit 2026.7 on July 28 with direct KeePass import, which pairs nicely with a self-hosted Vaultwarden server for anyone migrating off a local .kdbx file.
• Discourse 2026.7 (late July): the forum platform shipped its monthly release with the usual round of improvements and fixes.
• Metabase 63 (July): a new major version of the open-source BI tool, continuing its steady cadence of dashboard and querying improvements.
• Rocket.Chat 8.6.1 (July): a maintenance release for the team chat platform with stability and security fixes.

What Stood Out This Week

n8n going full agent platform. The native MCP support is the release that matters most. It turns n8n from "self-hosted Zapier" into a control plane your AI agents can call into, and the new AI builder lowers the barrier for everyone else. If you run one upgrade this week, run this one.

Supabase swapping Kong for Envoy. Changing the default API gateway on the self-hosted stack is a bigger deal than a version bump. It is a more hardened, config-as-code foundation, and it signals Supabase taking self-hosters seriously rather than treating the open stack as an afterthought.

Paperless-ngx sharpening its LLM workflows. The OCR and search fixes are nice, but the LLM workflow polish is the story. Your document archive is quietly becoming something an AI agent can query, which is a very different product than a place to dump scans.

Immich reaching people outside the Play Store. Shipping to F-Droid is a small change with a big message: a project built to get your photos off Google should not make you install its app through Google. The 3.x line is the most polished Immich has been.

Also Brewing

A couple of big ones are still in beta and worth watching, though they did not ship stable this week. PostgreSQL 19 is in Beta 2 and marching toward general availability later this year, and it underpins a large chunk of the catalog. WordPress 7.1 is in its beta cycle with a final release targeted for August 19. If either is core to your stack, now is the time to test against the betas.

Deploy Any of These in One Click

Every tool above is available as a fully managed, one-click deployment on Elestio, with updates, backups, and TLS handled for you, so patch week stops being your problem. Browse the full catalog of 400+ open-source services at elest.io.

That is the week. See you in the next one 👋
