REST API Changes

Release 2.18.2

May 1, 2023

Upgrade notice

  • Users upgrading from 2.16.x should note that a bug was introduced then which prevented enforcing of TLS verifications. This has now been fixed but, in circumstances where certificates were not set up correctly and appeared to work due to the bug, you may now need to resolve the certificate issue or deliberately set the new ‘Skip verification’ toggle.

Edge

  • Fixed issue where users were unable to update their Edge Agent to the latest version because the corresponding option was not available when creating a scheduled update

Kubernetes

  • Increased potential success rate of updating Portainer with larger databases by changing Kubernetes manifest and Helm chart for Portainer to have initialDelaySeconds of 45 (sec) and failureThreshold of 3. portainer/portainer#8860

Docker

Portainer

  • Fixed issue where the option to skip TLS verification was missing when editing a stack created from git. Additionally, to adhere to security best practices, the option’s default value has been corrected to be set to off during migration portainer/portainer#8853

  • Fixed issue where TLS verification was being skipped when creating / editing stacks created from git in version 2.16.x portainer/portainer#8853

  • Fixed issue where the port number in the displayed webhook link was incorrect when Portainer was running behind a reverse proxy

  • Resolved an issue with the updated web editor component, where it was not loading long YAML files correctly portainer/portainer#8848

Release 2.18.1

April 18, 2023

Please note 2.18.0 is not publicly available. This release is 2.18.1 and is our next GA release since "2.17.x". This was done due to the need to provide an upgradeable preview image to a customer.

Breaking changes

  • For breaking changes in the API, please see the REST API changes section.

  • The Kompose functionality in Kubernetes has been removed since 2.17.0. Compose yaml can no longer be deployed on Kubernetes.

  • Moved edge devices to the homepage view and removed edge devices menu option under edge compute.

  • Add devices button is replaced with new UX in environment wizard.

Kubernetes

  • Introduced new log viewer to Portainer Business Edition

  • Introduced the ability to specify updates to existing environment variables of a deployment via query string parameters on the Kubernetes application redeploy webhook

  • Introduced a new rollout-restart parameter to Kube application redeploy webhooks to allow remote initiating of zero-downtime deployment rolling restarts

  • Introduced an alternate means of authenticating connections to the Google Cloud platform (used by our KaaS provisioning of Google Kubernetes Engine environments), following their deprecation of the gcp auth plugin in Kubernetes v1.22 and removal in v1.26

  • Introduced experimental Kubernetes functionality (behind a feature flag) to allow installing of MicroK8s to existing machines

  • The Kubernetes deployment option for docker-compose format manifests and the Kompose conversion tool that enabled this have now been removed due to long-standing Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) in Kompose: portainer/portainer#8355

  • Improved the explanatory tooltips and info text for Kube application automatic updates functionality: portainer/portainer#8223

  • Fixed an issue introduced in 2.16, where deploying of an ingress via the Portainer Add ingress form does not label the ingress object in the cluster with a Portainer 'internal' deployment label. Any deployment of ingress via Portainer should have this: portainer/portainer#8337

  • Fixed an issue introduced in 2.16, where, when attaching a ConfigMap to an application being deployed via the Portainer Add application form, the ConfigMap is wrongly included as a Secret in the manifest and the deployment could therefore fail: portainer/portainer#8323

Release 2.16.0

October 31, 2022

Deprecation notice

  • Proposing to deprecate ACI (Azure Container Instances) and remove the functionality to connect to ACI, view existing containers and deploy new containers.

Upgrade notice

  • portainer/portainer:latest moved to portainer/portainer:2.16.

React migration

  • Migrated from Angular to React: Tag selector for Environment Details view.

  • Migrated from Angular to React: Teams view.

Kubernetes

  • When upgrading to 2.16, if you already have ingress controllers in a Kubernetes cluster/environment linked to Portainer and used Portainer to set them at the cluster and namespace level, and if these ingress controllers were not used by any ingresses, after the upgrade, you may end up with dummy ingresses visible in the new Ingresses screen in Portainer (that are not actually used for any deployment). This is simply an artifact of how we retained information about ingress controllers in earlier Portainer releases. If you find these kinds of dummy ingresses, you can safely delete them.

  • Introduced the ability to auto-detect ingress classes in the environment. portainer/portainer#7827

  • Added an Ingress menu option in the sidebar that lists all Ingresses in the cluster. portainer/portainer#7839

  • The Homepage's kubeconfig download dialog now only includes those environments that show on the Homepage. Those with a connection error or provisioning error (these states were introduced in recent releases) are now excluded.
