CockroachDB FAQ

Is CockroachDB safe to download from here?

We host no installers. Every download button goes to the download location named in the package listing, and the checks below were run on those files.

On 2026-11-07 we downloaded the latest 5 installers from those sources and re-computed the SHA-256 of each: 5 of 5 match the package catalog’s value. Code signatures: 0 valid, 5 not applicable (archives and similar).

VirusTotal has no report for these files yet, so we show no safety rating.

Our rating: Not scanned. No check is a guarantee. See the security details above and our Security and Trust Center. Publisher’s website: CockroachDB’s official website.

Does CockroachDB update itself after I install an old version?

For Windows, we have no information on whether CockroachDB updates itself, and for Mac, we have no confirmation that the app updates itself, although many apps check for updates and offer to install them. Look for an update setting in CockroachDB (see CockroachDB’s documentation) before you rely on an older version.
