Is Caddy v2.11.6 safe to update?

Not without preparation. Release notes mention breaking or incompatible changes. Read them and back up before upgrading.

⚠️ What breaks

The release notes flag breaking or backward-incompatible changes. Something in your setup may stop working until you change config. Read the items below and the full notes before upgrading.

From the release notes

• :warning: **Please read the breaking changes below before upgrading.** Most of them come from security hardening, and most configs won't notice. If you were relying on one of the old behaviors, though, you'll want to know about it.

✅ What to do first

1. Read the official release notes (linked in “What breaks”).
2. Back up config and data (snapshot the VM/volume if you can).
3. Note the version you are on now, so you can roll back.
4. Update, then check logs and core functions before walking away.

↩️ How to roll back to v2.11.4

Docker: snapshot/back up the data volumes first, then if needed change the tag back, e.g. image: caddy:v2.11.4, and run docker compose up -d. Tag format varies by image (some drop the “v”), so check the registry’s tag list.
