  • Fixed an issue where edge devices in the waiting room were incorrectly counted as part of the dynamic edge group.

Kubernetes

  • Fixed an issue introduced in 2.19.0 where standard and read-only users could no longer view node stats on a Kubernetes cluster.

  • Fixed an issue introduced in 2.19.0 where the Kubernetes Create Application screen no longer showed in the bottom of page summary when a Deployment would be created.

MicroK8s

  • Fixed an issue introduced in 2.19.0 where MicroK8s cluster creation would fail if the SSH access used a passworded login and sudo access required the password.

Portainer

  • Fixed an issue where backup files were missing the Chisel private key. This could have disrupted communication between the Portainer server and agent after a restoration from backup. portainer/portainer#10335

  • Improved the upgrade process for the Portainer server, upgrade process now halts on database migration errors, preventing database version mismatches for a more stable environment. portainer/portainer#10336

  • Fixed an issue introduced in 2.19.0 when the chatbot integration feature was enabled for a user, where container logs did not display in the log viewer unless in full-screen mode.

  • Fixed an issue where webhooks were failing when updating a stack deployed from a private Git repository.

  • We've added a backup reminder for in-app updates, ensuring data safety during the update process.

  • Fixed an issue where usernames and passwords were being stored along with Git stack configurations when Git credentials were used.

  • Fixed an issue where using spaces in an Organizational Unit (OU) or Common Name (CN) name caused incorrect data to be displayed in the Active Directory configuration.

  • Fixed an issue where toggles could be activated outside of their intended component area, potentially leading to inadvertent toggling. portainer/portainer#10324

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

  • 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.

  • Updated Kubernetes as a Service (KaaS) cluster provisioning to use the latest eksctl tool for the AWS EKS platform, and support up to v1.23 of Kubernetes (use of this version was previously failing)

  • Resolved an issue where Kubernetes secrets were no longer shown in an expand panel for each application listed in the Applications list screen: portainer/portainer#8118

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.

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

Known issues

  • When provisioning a Civo cluster while there are multiple default networks defined on the Civo account, the environment will fail to provision and Portainer will end up waiting for the environment to be ready indefinitely. This can be resolved from the Civo console by deleting the cluster and using a non-default network for the provision.
