A new CKAN release has landed, and Keitaro has already published an updated Docker image for it. CKAN 2.12.0 is a new release, bringing improvements and fixes on top of the 2.11 series. As always, we recommend upgrading to the latest release to stay current with security fixes and new capabilities. If you need any support with the upgrade, just let us know.
New Minor Release: CKAN 2.12.0
CKAN 2.12.0 is the first release in the new 2.12 series, building on the CKAN 2.11 line with additional improvements and bug fixes. Full details are available in the CKAN release notes on GitHub.
Our Docker image follows the same lightweight, production-ready build we use for every supported CKAN version — based on Alpine Linux, built with `uv` for fast and reliable dependency installation, and shipped with the `envvars` and `xloader` extensions pre-installed and ready to configure through environment variables.

About CKAN
The Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network (CKAN) is the world’s leading open-source data management system. It is a powerful data portal platform. Governments, research institutions, and other organizations widely use it. They collect lots of data and want to make their data accessible and available to others, especially the general public.
Keitaro is a prominent and active contributor to the global CKAN Association, the organization that manages the CKAN global footprint. Our CKAN team has worked on over 50 successful CKAN projects. They have developed numerous custom extensions. All of these are open source and can be found on our GitHub page.
