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.

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 inital 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.

    Study migration instruction for users of pre-1.0-containers

  • The separate Migration instructions for users of container image version before 1.0-beta lists what these changes are and how to migrate an existing version 0.x container to the new version 1.0
