Why Does the Stable Version's Logo Show 'dev'?

Based on our documentation and recommended practices, a production build of n8n should not show the “dev” label in the logo. If you’re seeing “dev” in your application logo while running version 1.74.3, it’s likely related to the build process. Here are some points to consider:

• Production Build vs. Development Build:
  The official Docker images available on docker.n8n.io are built for production. When building n8n yourself (using npm in your Dockerfile), you need to ensure that the build is configured for production. Using development build commands (for example, using npm’s default dev command or missing a production flag) might include development-only visual cues like the “dev” branding.

• Environment Configuration:
  Check that any environment settings—especially the NODE_ENV variable—are set to “production” during your build process. This helps ensure that production assets and settings are used in the final image.

• Review Build Steps:
  Compare your build instructions with the production build steps provided in the official documentation and Docker installation guide. Missing steps or misconfigurations might cause a development build to be produced.

If you confirm that your build process does not include the production optimizations, adjusting it should remove the “dev” text from the logo. If you’re using a custom Docker image based on npm builds, it’s best to mimic the official production build instructions as closely as possible.
