Following recent updates to our installation procedures, we’ve identified a small improvement that affects Docker Compose users only. This post shows you how to pin PostgreSQL version to avoid potential issues during future updates.
⚠️ Docker Compose Users Only: This fix applies exclusively to users running Sosse with Docker Compose. Other installation methods are not affected.
Installation Procedure Update We’ve updated our Docker Compose configuration to improve stability during PostgreSQL updates.
The upcoming Sosse 1.14 release marks a significant evolution in how web crawling is configured and managed. We’re moving from the complex “Crawl Policy” system to a more intuitive Collections approach that puts user experience first.
⚠️ Important: We strongly recommend backing up your data before upgrading to Sosse 1.14.
Why the Change? The old Crawl Policy system, while powerful, had several limitations that made it challenging for users:
Complex matching logic: URLs were matched against policy patterns with unintuitive recursion rules Single context per URL: Each URL could only belong to one policy, limiting flexibility Unintuitive recursion logic: The depth and recursion rules were hard to understand and configure Performance overhead: Complex pattern matching for every URL discovery Introducing Collections Collections represent a fundamental change in approach.
We’re excited to announce that Sosse 1.13 is officially out! This release introduces key features and performance improvements that make Sosse more powerful and easier to work with:
Support for document tagging Webhook triggering during crawling CSV result export Simplified setup using Docker Compose Customizable document data indexing via JavaScript or webhooks Crawler optimizations Sosse 1.13 is faster, more flexible, and easier to integrate into your workflows. 🚀

The upcoming Sosse 1.13 release is shaping up to be a solid upgrade, with new features like tagging, webhook support, and CSV export.
Everybody loves a good homepage — here’s one straight from Sosse. No bloat, just clean icons and a search bar. And since we’re showing it off, it’s the perfect excuse to walk you through some of the new features coming in 1.13.
⚠️ Note: This is a demo preview — the final release is not yet available.
