Release Notes

Playwright (undetected via Patchright) browser automation instead of Puppeteer. This should help with random 401 errors
Alpine images removed, only Debian image is provided at :latest tag
amd64 images now use Chrome instead of Chromium to avoid detection
arm64 images now use Chrome for Testing instead of Chromium. Not be best for avoiding detection, but it's what Playwright supports on ARM64. Still likely an improvement over v5.
armv7 images are no longer provided, sorry. Playwright doesn't support it, and Alpine dropped Chromium builds in 3.24 anyway.
Image is 600MB smaller than v5.
Cookies are managed by stored browser profiles.
Config migrated from class-validator to Zod. This changed a lot, so please report bugs if your unique config has issues.
Authentication management is now mostly managed by cookies after first device auth. Device auth login will only be requested when necessary to continue.
Tooling updates:
- Node 26 (it'll be LTS soon)
- Runtime is TypeScript native via Node

Breaking changes/migration

runOnStartup defaults to true instead of false to aid with first time setup

armv7 images no longer published, sorry.
:bullseye-slim tag no longer published. Just use :latest.
:debian tag is deprectated. Just use :latest .
These are recommended by Playwright:
- Add --ipc=host / ipc: host to your container
- Add --init / init: true to your container
browserLaunchTimeout default increased from 15s to 30s to help with low power devices
