Docker image release notes

These release notes contain a summary of new features, changes and bug fixes for the Docker image releases of the sedex-Client.

Where to find the image tags

Most of the image tags listed here are now purely historical and no longer available for download. All tags of the currently available container images are listed on Docker Hub.

Major Version 1.2🔗

Version/Tag 8.0.1_container-1.2.0 (2026-02-04)🔗

This release does not introduce any changes in the containerization layer, but only updates the contained sedex-Client.

Contained sedex-Client: 8.0.1, see release notes for changes.

Version/Tag 8.0.0_container-1.2.0 (2025-10-09)🔗

Since 2008, sedex (“secure data exchange”) has been the trusted platform for secure and traceable data exchange among federal, cantonal, and municipal applications in Switzerland. To maintain this high level of security and reliability, sedex is continuously improved and aligned with evolving technological and regulatory requirements.

With sedex Client 8.0, a new major version is introduced that brings significant enhancements to strengthen security, reliability, and configurability in both on-premise and containerized environments.

Detailed information on the functional and security-related changes introduced in sedex Client 8.0 can be found in the corresponding release notes.

Upgrade and Compatibility🔗

Despite the many improvements and changes, upgrading existing Docker deployments based on older sedex Client images to version 8.0 remains possible without any configuration changes.
This continues the principle of “Compatibility First” for updates.

Nevertheless, it is strongly recommended to enable the new security features introduced with version 8.0 as soon as possible. Doing so may require manual adjustments to your container configuration (e.g. network or port mappings).

Changes in the Containerization Layer 1.2.0🔗

  • New Base Image: Red Hat Universal Base Image (UBI 9)
    The sedex Client Docker image now uses UBI 9 from Red Hat as its base image.
    This change improves compatibility and stability across enterprise container platforms, as the previously used Alpine base image occasionally caused runtime issues in certain environments.

  • Monitoring Service now available via HTTPS
    The sedex Client Monitoring Service is now also accessible via HTTPS.
    As a result, the Docker container exposes an additional port for HTTPS.
    If monitoring is to be accessed securely via HTTPS, this new port must be mapped accordingly in your container configuration.

  • All network services now available over HTTPS
    The sedex Client now provides all network endpoints – Web Service Proxy, Messaging REST API, and Monitoring Service – over HTTPS.
    It is recommended to transition to HTTPS-only operation as soon as possible and to remove the mappings of legacy HTTP ports once your setup has been verified.

Changes in the containerization layer 1.0.1:

  • Fix: In Phase 1 - Initial Configuration the creation of the sedex-data volume could fail due to missing permissions if the container was started as non-root user and a cifs-mount was used as volume.

Contained sedex-Client: 6.0.7, see release notes for changes.

Version/Tag 6.0.7_container-1.0.0 (2021-11-08)🔗

This is the first version of the sedex-Client Docker image which is provided to all sedex participants.

This release does not introduce any new functionality, but resolves issues and improves some operational aspects of the sedex-Client.

Changes in the containerization layer 1.0.0:

  • Change: To better separate configuration data (especially credentials) and sedex messages during operation, the interface folders for sedex messaging have been extracted to a separate volume called sedex-interface.
  • Change: In Phase 1 - Initial Configuration some simplifications and unifications were made:
    • The configuration file for the manual initial configuration with the name init.conf is no longer expected in the subfolder conf but in the root of sedex-data
    • The init-scripts provided in the container for the automatic script-based initial configuration have been renamed
    • some configuration parameter names have changed
  • Change: The tag latest is no longer supported, as its use in production environments can lead to unwanted updates to non-backward compatible versions. Instead, we recommend to use one of the other offered tags, e.g. container-1.0.
  • Improvement: The health check script in the container was improved.

  • Improvement: Some minor improvements have been made to the container logic, which translate into more stable operation and more meaningful error messages.
