The Outline Server v1.8.0 has been released!

This release is about empowering developers and administrators with more sophisticated tools for automating key management and distribution, ensuring a more customizable service experience.

Features

  • API extensions
    • Single Access Key Retrieval: Added /access-keys/{id}endpoint to look up a single access key. By @murka in #1142 and #1278.
    • Rich Access Key Creation Options: Add name, limit and password properties to access key creation method. By @murka in #1273
    • Key ID Customization: Add new PUT method to create a key with a specific identifier. Together with the change to specify other properties on key creation, this enables export and import of keys. It also allows you to use your own ID system (like a encoding a user id + device) and the creation of on-demand keys by key distribution systems in a way that preserves the user ID for usage tracking. By @sbruens in #1473
  • Performance and Compatibility Enhancements
    • Flexible Ulimit Settings: We’ve removed the ulimit setting from our Docker image. This change grants you the freedom to adjust the ulimit externally, optimizing the performance of the Outline VPN container without unnecessary constraints.By @fortuna in #1447.

If you server has auto-updates enabled (the default), you should already have the new version. You can check the version you are running in the settings tab of your server in the Outline Manager, or by querying the /server API endpoint.

I just wanted to say thank you to you and other outline team members .
I can’t believe how simple and just with running a script on the server, I made my own vpn for use in Iran… The possibility of management and its speed are also excellent . :folded_hands:

Ксожелению не работает на хрюше, чтобы юезопастно сёрфить в интернете, приходится перезагружатся на Windows 11. Дело в том что я разработчик трейнеров для игр, и мне интересно чтоб мои программы, работали на любой винде, поэтому у меня установлены на компутаторе все ос от хрюши до 11 винды, кроме висты. С семёрки и выше работает, а на хрюше нет.

Проксируйтесь через другую систему или на маршрутизаторе поднимайте, XP это система, которая снята с поддержки уже много лет назад. В общем, ищите альтернативные варианты.

Yes. You can find more about the API here: https://github.com/Jigsaw-Code/outline-server/tree/master/src/shadowbox#access-keys-management-api
