Docker Maintenance
More Security with Redis 8
- We are upgrading from Redis 6.0 to Redis 8 as the default caching module for Docker, since the older version is affected by a critical security vulnerability (CVE-2025-49844).
Benefit:
No additional configuration is required — OTOBO will now ship with Redis 8 by default.
Alternative:
Instead of updating OTOBO, you can simply set OTOBO_IMAGE_REDIS=redis:8-bookworm in your .env file in the otobo-docker directory, then run: docker-compose down; docker-compose up -d to switch the Redis image.
Also, you can completely disable Redis by commenting out the line $Self->{'Cache::Module'} = [...] in your Kernel/Config.pm.
MariaDB Update to lts-noble (version 11.8.3)
- The previous MariaDB image (10.5) has been replaced with
lts-noble.
⚠️ Important: The MySQL client is no longer included in this image — it has been replaced by the MariaDB client.
If you have configured additional backup or maintenance jobs, please update the corresponding commands:
mysqladmin → mariadb-admin
mysqldump → mariadb-dump
NGINX now Based on Debian 13
- The update of the
nginx-mainlineDocker image to Debian 13 “Trixie” as the base image has now also been applied to ourotobo-nginximage.
With these changes, your OTOBO installations remain secure, up-to-date, and future-proof — without adding any extra complexity.
