# v2026.10.3

A free license, sign-in without email, and the preflight check

Self-hosted installations can start without a mail server, use their own stores, and check everything before each update.

## What changed

- A free license, for 1 organization, 1 workspace and 3 people, from GoRunner on request. See [The free license](https://docs.gorunner.io/self-host/free-license).
- Setup prints an 8-character setup code for the first admin. Without mail, people sign in with an email and a password. `gorunner reset-password` works from the server. See [Sign-in without email](https://docs.gorunner.io/self-host/sign-in-without-email).
- **Copy invitation link** on every invitation, on Cloud too. See [Invite people and set roles](https://docs.gorunner.io/build/invite-people).
- Your own PostgreSQL, Redis and S3-compatible storage. See [Your own database, Redis and storage](https://docs.gorunner.io/self-host/own-stores).
- Several servers, with `GORUNNER_ROLE` set to `all`, `api` or `worker`. See [Several servers](https://docs.gorunner.io/self-host/several-servers).
- A company proxy for outbound calls (`HTTPS_PROXY`, `HTTP_PROXY`, `NO_PROXY`), and `SMTP_SECURE` for mail on port 465. See [A company proxy](https://docs.gorunner.io/self-host/company-proxy).
- The preflight check runs before setup, before every update and when each container starts. See [The preflight check](https://docs.gorunner.io/self-host/preflight-check).

## When you update

- Coming from v2026.10.2 or older, the update writes where the installation keeps its data (`GORUNNER_POSTGRES`, `GORUNNER_REDIS`, `GORUNNER_STORAGE`, `GORUNNER_ROLE`) and sizes `DB_MAX_CONNS`. People keep signing in as before.
- Seats and workspaces count against the license from now on. An installation already over keeps what it has, but can’t add more until it is under.
- To move to the free license, remove the empty starter organization older versions made.

GoRunner’s image is private for now. With Docker, [sign in to the registry](https://docs.gorunner.io/self-host/install-docker#sign-in-to-the-registry) first. On Kubernetes, [sign Helm in and give the cluster its pull Secret](https://docs.gorunner.io/self-host/install-kubernetes#make-a-namespace). See [Update](https://docs.gorunner.io/self-host/update) for the whole procedure, or [Install with Docker](https://docs.gorunner.io/self-host/install-docker) and [Install on Kubernetes](https://docs.gorunner.io/self-host/install-kubernetes) to install this version anew.
