We’ve upgraded the search across our documentation to use TypeSense – the same lightning-fast search engine now powering in-app search for servers, databases, and the RunCloud web app.

This means:

• Faster, more accurate results when searching for guides or troubleshooting steps
• Smarter keyword handling so you can find what you need even if you don’t type the exact phrase
• A consistent experience across the app and documentation – no need to adjust to different search behaviors

This change makes it even easier to find relevant support articles, feature documentation, and technical how-tos, whether you’re inside the app or browsing our help docs directly.

Let us know if there’s anything we can do to make search even better!

PHP Updates

PHP 8.3.22 and 8.4.8 are now available for NGINX stacks.

• PHP 8.3.22

Note: If your server runs on OpenLiteSpeed, PHP version updates are not managed directly by RunCloud. However, once updates become available for OpenLiteSpeed, they will automatically reflect on your server(s).

🔌 New API Endpoint: WP Canvas

We’ve added a new WP Canvas endpoint in the RunCloud API. It enables you to programmatically create and modify WP Canvases via the RunCloud API.

This addition opens up greater flexibility and automation for WordPress-focused workflows.

Containerized Servers

We've identified a bug in the MariaDB/MySQL Docker image that could potentially cause downtime when running future updates.

Our team has already developed a fix for this issue, but since we keep auto-updates disabled for databases (as they are not stateless and contain your data), this update requires manual intervention.

As a precautionary measure, please refer to this guide (est. 5-10 minutes)
