OS upgrades, kernel tuning, and the day-to-day of running a Linux server.
All articlesThe classic quickbox.io site sails into the rainbow. We moved every remaining account to v3.quickbox.io for you, so there is nothing to migrate. Sign in with the same email and password, grab your new API key from the dashboard, and if you are on a subscription, add a payment method before your access date to keep your price.
Translations are back in QuickBox Pro, rebuilt for the v4 dashboard, and this time they're personal. Seven languages, picked per user from the top bar, the login page, or your Profile. Keep a language for one session or save it to your account, while your admin sets a fallback and the CLI keeps its own server-wide language with qb manage lang.
Two things landed that are worth a look. The System Dashboard's Hardware Health panel now has a Writeback cleanup card that catches a rare but nasty kernel condition - a writeback livelock that slowly wedges the box - and clears it with one click, no reboot, without touching a file that is in use. And IPTVBoss is now a native QuickBox app: install it from the dashboard, run it as an always-on Xtream Codes server that keeps your playlists and EPG in sync on its own, and route its upstream traffic through a VPN with app-scoped routing.
The System Dashboard is where an admin watches the box, and this release makes it a lot better at that job. A new Hardware Health panel reads your CPU, memory, and firmware straight from the kernel with nothing to install. The whole page is faster and finally works on a phone. The Updates Available table now shows APT and QuickBox updates - CLI core and Dashboard - in one place, and the changelog tells Core from Dashboard and lets you read what a pending update contains before you download it.
This release is built around one idea: everyone should be able to drive their server comfortably. We raised text contrast to the readable floor across the dashboard, made every control reachable and visible from the keyboard, rebuilt the Application Control panel, and turned the bare qb command into a full interactive menu for people who live in the terminal. Delete Protection lands in the same release, so a large delete can no longer take your box down.
The legacy quickbox.io license API is being retired. If your install stopped verifying or QBXWatcher asked you to re-verify, here's why, and the exact steps to move your license to v3.quickbox.io and get back online.
Two new tools land in the dashboard. Inter-Instance Transfer moves a whole folder tree directly from one of your servers to another, migration or load-balance, with no SSH and no relay, and a live cockpit to watch it. The Telemetry History Store keeps your server's metric history gap-free across restarts, deploys, and reinstalls, all on the box and never phoned home.
Every dashboard image, document, logo, avatar, and app backup now lives in one place. Meet the Asset Management Center: drag-and-drop uploads with inline previews, public and direct share links on a whitelabeled player, per-asset view and download stats, and one-click application backups.
The biggest update to the QuickBox Pro v4 dashboard since its launch is landing soon - Plex arrives in the WSDashboard streaming monitor, a purpose-built Fail2Ban control center rolls out with a per-application jail library, and WireGuard VPN app-scoped routing reaches stability.
A safe, repeatable Debian 11 → 12 upgrade path that preserves your service configurations, survives SSH disconnects, and gets you onto the current security baseline.
