v0.8.1

New in this Release

Jenkins

• Updated the base plugins and Jenkins LTS to the latest version.
• Exposed terminationGracePeriodSeconds for the Jenkins master.

Backup

• From version 4.1, the backup temporary directory is created in the backup PVC, so the temporary tar file is moved immediately after the tar process ends. This improves speed and reliability. Size your backup PVC accordingly. See the documentation section PVC Storage Size.
• From version 4.1, each backup component (backup, restore, run) logs everything to stdout/stderr, improving understanding in case of issues and providing a backup and restore timeline. You can have a preview of the logs from the PR description.
• From version 4.1, a lock file for backup and restore processes is implemented to prevent multiple backups in case of operator crash/restart. See this section of the docs.

If you do not wish to use these new features, you can use the old v0.2.6 tag.

CI / Chart

• Cert-manager CRDs are no longer shipped by default.
• Improved Ginkgo tests by implementing matrix testing.
• Enhanced BATS tests to cover more scenarios.

Bug Fixes

• Fix incorrect double restore in the reconciliation loop
• Fixed configurationAsCode and groovyScripts arrays in the Helm chart.
• Ensured consistent imagePullPolicy for the backup container.
• Stopped using deprecated jnlpUrl for getting seed agents node secret.
• Fixed the website build CI.

Thanks to all contributors who made this release possible! 🎉

Full Changelog: v0.8.0...v0.8.1

v0.8.0

v0.8.0

v0.8.0-beta.2

New in this Release

• Backup with zstd: By default, the backup PVC method now uses zstd as the default compression algorithm instead of gz. This change is aimed at benefiting users with a large number of jobs to back up. The migration process is designed to be harmless. The script will restore the latest *.gz backup and then start using the new format: <backup-number>.tar.zstd in the backup persistent volume. To clean up the old .gz backups, manual intervention is required as they will not be deleted automatically. If you prefer to continue using the .gz format, you can use version 0.2.2 (quay.io/jenkins-kubernetes-operator/backup-pvc:v0.2.2).

• Latest Plugin Installation: The new upstream Jenkins CLI now installs the latest plugins by default. However, this behavior can cause issues if the Jenkins instance frequently restarts. To address this, a new option called latestPlugin has been added. For more details, refer to issue #797. Note that when latestPlugin is set to false, you will need to manually specify fixed versions for many dependencies.

• Devcontainer Support: Added support for devcontainer to improve the development process, particularly when working with older Golang versions and libraries.

• Restore Before Seed Job Creation: By default, the operator now restores the backup before creating the seed jobs. This change helps avoid race conditions during the restore process.

• Toleration Support in Helm Chart: Tolerations are now supported in the Helm chart.

For changes in Jenkins CR see the sample manifest here: https://jenkinsci.github.io/kubernetes-operator/docs/getting-started/latest/deploy-jenkins/
