gologhttpjson v0.2.0: Better Versioning and Hardened Containers
We are excited to announce the release of gologhttpjson v0.2.0 on May 22, 2026. This update focuses on improving the operational reliability, security, and accessibility of the server, making it easier to deploy and manage across diverse environments.
What’s new
This release introduces several key enhancements to the gologhttpjson experience:
- Transparent Version Tracking: The server now includes an
X-App-Versionheader in all successful HTTP responses. You can now instantly verify which version of the server is running in your environment without needing to check logs or container tags. - Multi-Architecture Docker Support: We’ve expanded our Docker build process to support both
amd64andarm64architectures. Whether you are deploying on traditional cloud servers or running locally on Apple Silicon, gologhttpjson is now optimized for your hardware. - Hardened Container Security: In line with security best practices, the server now runs as a non-root user within its container. This significantly reduces the attack surface of your deployments.
- Infrastructure Updates: Under the hood, we’ve upgraded to Go 1.26.3 and moved to a Debian 13-based distroless image to ensure we’re using the latest stability and security patches.
Why it matters
For developers using gologhttpjson for debugging and testing, these changes remove friction from the deployment pipeline. The addition of the version header eliminates guesswork during rolling updates, while multi-arch support ensures a seamless experience across different developer machines and cloud providers. Most importantly, the switch to a non-root user ensures that your local development and testing tools follow the same security rigor as your production environments.
Getting started with v0.2.0
Upgrading to the latest version is simple. If you are using Docker, just pull the latest image:
docker pull ghcr.io/unitvectory-labs/gologhttpjson:latest
The updated image is fully compatible with your existing PORT, LOG_HEADERS, and METADATA_* environment variable configurations.
