Dear froxlor community,

we are happy to announce the release of froxlor version 2.3.0!

This version introduces several new features for better server control, expands our API, and brings important platform updates. Please make sure to also read the note on dropped webserver support.

Key Features and Improvements

SSH-Key Management via UI

Customers with shell access can now conveniently manage their SSH keys directly through the froxlor panel. This simplifies secure access handling and reduces the need for manual server-side configuration.

API Updates

• A new API entity SshKeys is available for managing SSH keys programmatically.

• A new API entity EmailSender is available for managing alias-sender domains/addresses for email-accounts.

• The API endpoints Customers.add() and Customers.update() now support the new parameter shell_allowed, giving you more fine-grained control over shell access.

• The API endpoints Domains.add() and Domains.update() now support the new parameter http3 , see Nginx HTTP/3 support.

HTTP/3 Support for Nginx

As Debian Trixie ships with nginx 1.26.3, support for HTTP/3 (QUIC) is possible. You can enable http3 globally in the settings to enable it per domain, keep in mind that you also need TLSv1.3 in your ssl-protocols to be active in order for it to work.

Debian 13 (Trixie) Support

Froxlor now officially supports Debian 13 (Trixie), ensuring compatibility with the current stable generation of this major Linux distribution.

Important Changes

Dropped lighttpd Support

With this release, froxlor no longer supports the lighttpd webserver.

Support for lighttpd had been deprecated since version 2.2 (August 2024). If you are still running lighttpd, we strongly recommend migrating to a supported webserver (e.g. nginx or apache2) before upgrading.

Upgrade Instructions

To upgrade to froxlor version 2.3.0, please follow the standard upgrade procedures in our documentation. As always, make a backup of your configuration and databases before updating.
