Casdoor vs Dokku: at a glance
What is Casdoor?
Casdoor is spending its release cadence moving auth checks from the client to the server
Casdoor is in a tight patch cadence: six tagged releases inside a week, most carrying a single commit. The substance is concentrated in identity enforcement rather than features - password rotation and MFA setup are now enforced server-side, admin updates to a user respect the column whitelist, sessions and tokens are revoked when a user is forbidden, and phone numbers are normalised before they are stored. The remainder is release plumbing and a PostgreSQL query fix.
What is Dokku?
Dokku is quietly turning into a k3s front-end with a JSON-first CLI.
The 0.38 patch line keeps shipping small releases with real features in them. v0.38.27 drops the local-image requirement for k3s deploys, reports Traefik DNS-provider variables as global keys, adds storage directory mode and removal flags, and introduces a vector-cron-sink so scheduled cron output has somewhere to go. It follows v0.38.26, which brought wildcard domains, custom cert issuers, and kernel sysctls to the k3s scheduler.

◆ Current state
Casdoor is in a tight patch cadence: six tagged releases inside a week, most carrying a single commit. The substance is concentrated in identity enforcement rather than features - password rotation and MFA setup are now enforced server-side, admin updates to a user respect the column whitelist, sessions and tokens are revoked when a user is forbidden, and phone numbers are normalised before they are stored. The remainder is release plumbing and a PostgreSQL query fix.
◆ Where it's heading
Read together, these commits describe one job: closing the gap between what the console enforces and what the backend enforces. Several of them move a check that previously lived in the UI into the server, which is the work of a project being deployed into environments that audit it. New authentication providers and integrations have thinned relative to this hardening pass.
◆ Prediction
The next releases most likely continue the same sweep - remaining endpoints where an admin or user request is trusted more than the server verifies - rather than adding a new identity provider.
Dokku
5.0INFRA · APIS
Dokku is quietly turning into a k3s front-end with a JSON-first CLI.
◆ Current state
The 0.38 patch line keeps shipping small releases with real features in them. v0.38.27 drops the local-image requirement for k3s deploys, reports Traefik DNS-provider variables as global keys, adds storage directory mode and removal flags, and introduces a vector-cron-sink so scheduled cron output has somewhere to go. It follows v0.38.26, which brought wildcard domains, custom cert issuers, and kernel sysctls to the k3s scheduler.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads run through almost every release: closing the gap between the k3s scheduler and the classic single-host path, and making every command machine-readable. The k3s work has moved from basic scheduling to the operational details — certificates, DNS, sysctls, and now deploys that no longer assume a local Docker image — which is the sequence a project follows when it expects the Kubernetes path to become the default rather than the alternative.
◆ Prediction
Expect the remaining k3s parity gaps to keep closing one release at a time, and expect the logging work started with vector-cron-sink to extend to other task types that currently have no sink.
