Hey guys,
how do I pick the latest version that is stable? And what does exp.0 mean? I am not a developer so maybe I misunderstand the “stable” name here under a “latest” label.
I normally just use the latest one and be done with it. Or is it my responsibility to research before any update? I read in another thread that 2.20.6 should be used as that is “stable”. So not 2.20.7 and not 2.20.7-exp.0 which is what I would have chosen.
Can anybody enlighten me? 
Thanks for your fast answer! Ah I see. Will do. So no automatic update whatsoever for “latest” also I guess?
Is there a reason why that differs from the label on github?
I have no idea. I prefer to trust the forum recommendations more…
Maybe this thread would help
@mailfraud good day
I wouldn’t pick only by the highest version number. For production, I’d follow the release channel.
exp.0 should be treated as experimental, so I’d avoid it unless you are testing a specific fix. My rule would be stable for production, newer versions in staging first, and experimental builds only in non-critical environments.
Thanks for trying to help everybody. I read the thread shown by @kjooleng . In there Jan says:
No that is correct.
1.22.4is the latest stable version to be used in production (latestis the tag that gets used by Docker images for that - the latest stable version).That very latest version we released, which is currently not stable yet, is right now
1.23.0and tagged in Docker asnext.
Besides the older version numbers it implies that “latest” in Docker is something different than “latest” in github.
@tamy.santos You say to follow the release channel. I do. github then shows this:
As you say exp.0 is experimental the name “stable” and the tag “latest” is to ignore then?
I downloaded now the “latest” version via Docker compose as I was following Jans post saying the tag “latest” in Docker is the latest stable one. But I did get the 2.20.7-exp.0 one.
I am confused now. Is that the release channel you mean? Is the version “latest” on github the one I get when pulling via Docker compose - so there is no difference actually? What mistake do I make? Did the Docker source label the exp.0 wrongly as stable?
@mailfraud , you can make it simple.
Just follow the stable release stated on the forum…
Use
docker pull n8nio/n8n:2.20.6
not
docker pull n8nio/n8n:latest
to avoid ambiguity
follow here n8nio/n8n - Docker Image
@mailfraud
Leads to the same version. But thanks!
@kjooleng Thanks. I was just trying to understand the nomenclature - but there seems to be none 
Thanks anyway.
