:::info Homarr v2 beta is available

We have been working on Homarr's biggest update for a while now. There is no fixed release date yet, it will be ready when it is ready, and we need your help and feedback before making the switch for everyone. Read [what is new](https://v2.preview.homarr.dev/blog/2026/09/03/homarr-2.0), browse the [v2 documentation](https://v2.preview.homarr.dev/docs) and [Workshop](https://v2.preview.homarr.dev/workshop), or try the [hosted preview](https://app-v2.preview.homarr.dev). If anything breaks or does not feel right, [tell us on Discord](https://discord.com/invite/aCsmEV5RgA) in the dedicated v2 channel for the fastest response, or [open a dedicated GitHub issue](https://github.com/homarr-labs/homarr/issues/new?template=v2_beta_feedback.yml). SQLite administrators can download a full backup directly from the beta announcement before changing images.
