Atelier v0.24.0-beta

The headline this release is architecture: Atelier now runs natively on arm64, so it works on an Apple Silicon Mac in a native Linux VM with no x86 emulation. Alongside that, the installer can now be talked onto a smaller machine, and every release ships full open-source attribution.

Coming from v0.23.x? Straight upgrade — existing amd64 installs are unaffected (one command, nothing you run changes). The new arm64 support and the install-time memory override are additive. Still a beta: multi-arch is brand new and getting a soak before the next stable tag.

Run native on Apple Silicon (and other arm64)

Atelier used to ship amd64 only, so on an Apple Silicon Mac it meant running x86 under emulation — slow, and a non-starter on a native ARM Linux VM. Now every platform image and the installer are published for both amd64 and arm64, so Atelier runs native on either.

On a Mac, a tool like OrbStack (or Lima / Colima) gives you a fast, native arm64 Linux machine in seconds. Grab the new atelier-install-arm64 binary and install exactly as you would anywhere else. A single version number installs cleanly on both architectures — the images resolve to the right one automatically.

One thing to know on arm64: the apps you build are compiled for your cluster’s architecture, so their Dockerfiles need arm64-compatible base images. Most modern official images already are, so this is rarely an issue.

Install on a smaller machine

The installer’s preflight used to hard-block below ~14 GB of RAM with no way around it, which made a modest laptop VM a non-starter even when you knew what you were doing. You can now lower — or skip — that floor with the ATELIER_MIN_RAM_MB environment variable (set it to the MB you want, or 0 to skip the check). The disk floor has the same escape in ATELIER_MIN_DISK_MB.

It’s an at-your-own-risk override — the default footprint is still tuned for a 16 GB host — but it’s exactly what you want for a small Mac or OrbStack VM. A genuinely leaner install profile is on the roadmap.

Open-source attributions and a transparency pass

Atelier is proprietary, but it’s built on a few hundred open-source components. Every release now ships a THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES file listing them all with the full text of their licenses, and the website has a new Open source & attributions page. This is part of a wider transparency pass that also added a Security & privacy page — covering how Atelier stores your credentials and data, what it never sends anywhere, and the honest limits of its posture — and a clear statement that the third-party products Atelier integrates with don’t endorse it.

Upgrade

For everyone — one command:

curl -Lo upgrade.sh https://tryatelier.blob.core.windows.net/tryatelier/latest/upgrade.sh
chmod +x upgrade.sh
./upgrade.sh v0.24.0-beta

It rolls atelier-core, atelier-ui, and the MCP server pods. Existing amd64 installs upgrade in place, unaffected; your running app pods aren’t touched, and folders, pins, alert channels, event-webhook subscriptions, public-access configuration, and MCP server deployments carry over unchanged.

For a fresh install on arm64 (for example an Apple Silicon Linux VM), use the atelier-install-arm64 binary from this release instead of the default atelier-install.
