Caution

This release contains breaking changes for container users! As of
v24.11.0, all persistent1 containers always run in read-only mode
and the setting itself is deprecated (kept only for compatibility
reasons). The main reason for this change is to better serve users
with embedded container images in their builds of Infix. I.e., they
can now upgrade the OCI image in their build and rely on the container
being automatically upgraded when Infix is upgraded, issue #823. For
other users, the benefit is that all container configuration changes
take when activated, issue #822, without having to perform any tricks.

Changes

  • Add validation of interface name lengths, (1..15), Linux limit
  • Add support for ftp/http/https URI:s in container image, with a new
    checksum setting for MD5/SHA256/SHA512 verification, issue #801
  • Add a retry timer to the background container create service. This
    will ensure failing docker pull operations from remote images are
    retrying after 60 seconds, or quicker
  • CLI base component, klish, has been updated with better support for
    raw terminal mode and alternate quotes (' in addition to ")
  • Log silenced from container activation messages, only the very bare
    necessities are now logged, e.g., podman create command + status
  • Factory reset no longer calls shred to "securely erase" any files
    from writable data partitions. This will speed up the next boot
    considerably

Fixes

  • Fix #659: paged output in CLI accessed via console port sometimes
    causes lost lines, e.g. missing interfaces. With updated klish
    and the terminal in raw mode, the pager (less) can now control both
    the horizontal and vertical
  • Fix #822: adding, or changing, an environment variable to a running
    container does not take without the container upgrade NAME trick
  • Fix #823: with an OCI image embedded in the Infix image, an existing
    container in the configuration is not upgraded to the new OCI image
    with the Infix upgrade.
  • Frr leaves log files in /var/tmp/frr on unclean shutdowns. This
    has now been fixed with a "tmpfiles" cleanup of that path at boot

  1. I.e., set up in the configuration, as opposed to temporary ones
    started with container run from the CLI admin-exec context. ↩
