1.18.0 (2026-01-06)
This release introduces the noui build tag, allowing you to compile a smaller binary without the embedded web UI. The Console UI is a static Angular application that we bundle into the executable for convenience, providing an all-in-one deployment experience. However, for production environments, we recommend deploying the UI separately using platforms like Azure Static Web Apps or AWS Amplify Hosting for cloud-based hosting, or traditional web servers like IIS or NGINX for on-premises deployments. By building with go build -tags noui, you can reduce the binary size by ~100MB when the UI is hosted independently, while still retaining the option to use the full bundled executable for simpler setups or development scenarios.
