[Bug] Docker image tag 2026.8.1 reports internal version 2026.7.1-2
Author: leninkpCreated Aug 31, 2026Updated Sep 2, 2026
Summary
The Docker image published under tag coollabsio/openclaw:2026.8.1 contains an internal binary that reports version 2026.7.1-2 instead of 2026.8.1. Confirmed the same digest is published under both Docker Hub and GHCR, ruling out any local caching or pull issue.
Steps to reproduce
- Deploy
coollabsio/openclaw:2026.8.1via Docker (Coolify on a VPS) - Exec into the running container and run
openclaw --version
Expected behavior
openclaw --version should report 2026.8.1
Actual behavior
openclaw --version
OpenClaw 2026.7.1-2 (0790d9f)
Evidence
- Image digest (verified identical on Docker Hub and GHCR):
sha256:09e466ce490ff47500ce06b6e078a9f48ce443377eefc4bb6710a91e513c9276 - GHCR package page confirms this digest under tag
2026.8.1, marked "Latest" - Forced a fresh pull after removing the local image (
docker rmi+docker pull) — same digest returned, ruling out local caching - The gateway logs show config warnings consistent with the old runtime:
plugins: plugin deepseek: plugin requires plugin API >=2026.8.1, but this host is 2026.7.1-2; skipping discovery
- Attempting to update from the Control UI ("Actualizar ahora") fails with:
Update skipped: managed-service-handoff-unavailable
and the gateway logs show:
update.run completed ... restartReason=update.run status=skipped
Environment
- Deployment: Docker container via Coolify on a self-hosted VPS
- Image:
coollabsio/openclaw:2026.8.1
