SneakPeek Suite is a platform that turns any URL into a branded image or PDF, available through a user interface or a REST API. It is designed for Web Developers and Teams who need reliable visual representations of external web pages like journalists, webmasters, marketing agencies, directories and news portals for example. The core idea is straightforward: provide a clean, customizable snapshot of a link that can be embedded in pages, reports or automated workflows or even show external link previews on WP Websites.

What’s new in v3.2 (2026)
The v3.2 release focuses on stability, scalability and cleaner architecture rather than flashy features.
Key improvements include:

• Complete refactoring of backend and user interface to make the codebase easier to maintain and extend
• Soft shutdown logic for the cluster that allows nodes to stop gracefully without interrupting ongoing jobs
• Improved ad-blocking logic to remove popups, banners and other invasive elements that spoil captures
• Bootstrap and global configuration optimizations that refine the user experience and central settings management
• Updated packages and small performance tweaks for better security and compatibility

These changes are aimed at reducing operational risk and improving reliability under real production loads

Who it’s for and how it’s used
SneakPeek is built for workflows that require mass or integrated generation of images and PDFs from URLs:

• REST API for seamless integration with external applications
• User-friendly interface for manual operations and file management
• WordPress plugin to display branded link previews directly on sites
• Advanced resource controls to handle high request volumes without wasting CPU or memory

The platform supports adding a logo to every output, setting quality and dimensions, and applying filters to exclude unwanted elements from captures.

A step forward from the past: goodbye wkhtml
The wkhtmltopdf and wkhtmltopdf solution is no longer supported or sold in the shop. Technical notes remain in the knowledge base for historical reference, but wkhtml is no longer recommended. The current architecture, based on Node.js, delivers superior rendering quality, flexibility and resilience. The difference is clear: modern rendering and cluster management outperform legacy addons that have reached their limits.

SneakPeek v3.2 is an update that prioritizes robustness and control behind the scenes. If your work depends on consistent previews, branded PDFs or automated integrations with external sites, this release reduces operational friction and makes large-scale generation more predictable and manageable.

With version 2.2, WebWall isn’t changing its look, but it is becoming more practical. The new release doesn’t aim to dazzle with flashy features; instead, it focuses on making the daily work of protecting a website or web application clearer, faster, and easier to control. In the realm of security, that is often the difference that truly matters.

The most interesting feature is the enchanced Sensitive Path Shield. Essentially, it allows administrators to create .htaccess rules for a site’s most sensitive paths while adding tracking capabilities. In other words: it’s not just about closing a door, but about getting a better view of who passes by and what they are trying to do.
Another key addition is the Hive Network, which connects multiple WebWall nodes to share threat information in real time. This is a valuable feature because it shifts the system from a purely local logic to a distributed one: if one node detects suspicious behavior, that information can be shared across the others. In an environment rife with automated attacks, this is a highly sensible feature to have.

Greater Data Control

Version 2.2 also introduces a new Logs Audit page, offering the ability to download the list of IPs and actions recorded in the local database as a CSV file. It may not be a headline-grabbing feature, but it proves invaluable when you need to truly understand what happened, reconstruct an event, or review administrative activity. This aligns well with the direction WebWall has taken in previous versions: a greater focus on traceability, data management, and administrative oversight. The platform continues to champion an approach where protection is inseparable from the ability to read, export, and verify what is actually happening.

Refinements that matter

Alongside the most visible new features, there are less flashy yet significant updates: a revised admin configuration, updated translations, an upgraded MySQL database, a revised default GDPR policy, an improved installer, and various interface bug fixes. These changes may not alter the product’s specifications on paper, but they make it more robust in real-world use.
There is also an improvement to CPU health monitoring in the automatic “Under Attack” mode, featuring an optimized “Hash Chain” parameter. It is the classic type of tweak that goes unnoticed when everything is running smoothly but proves invaluable when traffic spikes and the system needs to respond effectively without faltering.

A mature release

Looking at WebWall’s evolution as a whole, version 2.2 feels like a release focused on maturity rather than expansion. Previous versions had already established the modular architecture, behavioral logic, SQLite database separation, and Cloudflare integration. With the “Spengler Edition“, the system adds practical tools for managing sensitive paths, facilitating node cooperation, and auditing activities. In short: this isn’t a release that changes everything, but one that makes the product more transparent, easier to manage, and more useful to those who actually use it. And for a security system, that is exactly the kind of evolution that makes sense.

PS: We chose the name “Spengler” (Egon) for this release because, just like the movie character, it’s all about substance and no-nonsense.

 

Some releases just stack up features. Others fundamentally improve how you actually use a product every single day.
Dokky 2.5.0 belongs firmly in the second category.

Following months of intense development, this version doesn’t try to wow you with gimmicks. Instead, it does something much harder: it makes the entire platform smarter, faster, and more aligned with the project’s core vision.

Smart AI with a Real Purpose

No automated audiobooks or flashy, useless features here.
Dokky Suite now analyzes the pages of public PDFs to generate an ultra-compact summary (two sentences, straight to the point) alongside a locally saved audio version. It’s clean, local, and essential.
The goal is simple: grasp what a document is about in seconds.

– Searching for something? Get an instant preview.
– Don’t want to read the whole thing? Listen to a quick audio snippet.
– Need accessibility support? Enjoy built-in, practical assistance.

Best of all, this won’t turn Dokky into an expensive service. The integration is designed to be sustainable and virtually free, requiring only an external API key (set up in literally just a few clicks).
Privacy First: This feature is strictly confined to public documents. Private and group contents remain completely untouched. It’s one of those subtle features you don’t notice at first, but after a week, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it.

Private Groups: Less Chaos, Total Control

Behind the scenes, one of the most impactful upgrades is the new group chat system.
Yes, it’s now powered by SQLite, making it significantly faster and more responsive. But performance is only half the story; every file within a group now gets its own dedicated database. This architecture ensures:

– Isolated discussions: Zero cross-context noise or leaks.
– Clean scalability: Smooth performance as your library grows.
– Keyword search: Finally, full-text search comes to group chats.

Type a keyword, view the relevant messages, and jump instantly to that exact point in the conversation. No more endless scrolling. No more wondering “who said what?”.

Natural Collaboration & Under-the-Hood Cleanup

Inline annotations on group PDFs are now sleeker and more visually polished. It might seem like a detail, but when collaborating on shared documents, the user experience (UX) makes all the difference. The Groups dashboard notification system has also been streamlined to deliver instant context with fewer distractions.

On the infrastructure side, we’ve tackled key optimizations, including proper IPFS unpinning during document deletion. File lifecycles are now clean, predictable, and transparent for both admins and users.

Add to that a refined sidebar, database upgrades, translation updates, and codebase optimizations. Combined, they bridge the gap between “it works” and “it works flawlessly.”
A Real-World Scenario? Imagine you have a large library of public PDFs. You search for a specific topic. Instead of opening random files, Dokky lets you instantly read or listen to a summary.

Meanwhile, your Team collaborates in private groups:

– Every document has its own organized, searchable chat.
– Inline notes make feedback direct and visual.
– Notifications keep you in the loop without cluttering your screen.

Everything is exactly where it should be. And crucially, it’s fast.
Dokky Suite 2.5.0 isn’t a loud release. It’s a deliberate one:

– AI is used only where it adds genuine value.
– Chat becomes a productivity tool, not a distraction.
– Infrastructure becomes simpler yet significantly more powerful.

Most importantly, it stays 100% faithful to the philosophy behind the project: total control, self-hosting, and long-term sustainability.
