About 2.1.5

🦃 Building on our 2.1 design this release brings a slew of production-tested bugfixes, performance improvements and a few features too just in time for Thanksgiving!

Major Feature Highlights

  • Major quads-web UI performance improvements using Ajax / lazy loading
  • quads-web updates for /available UI
  • quads-web navigation bar is now rendered at service start time
  • Several major cloud define and notifications bugs fixed after running 2.1.0 for quite some time in production
  • quads --foreman-rbac now runs from the move_and_rebuild phase
  • QUADS Badfish library will now auto unmount ISO media for Dell systems
  • verify_switch_conf fixes
  • lshw and metadata import fixes and updates
  • Refactoring to use SQLAlchemy DB calls in some places over direct API for heavy lifting
  • Contributing sandbox steps remove container orchestration, focus on venv workflows for easy testing
  • Pre-commit hooks are now in place for development workflows

Development Statistics

  • 36 x peer-reviewed Gerrithub patch-sets
  • 112 x changes files with 2,558 additions and 2,049 deletions
  • This is the 17th release of QUADS since 23-June 2016 when 1.0 was released

Full Change List

Checking Configuration File Differences

  • It's a good idea to diff the updated quads.yml with your existing one to make note of any breaking changes
diff -u /opt/quads/conf/quads.{yml,yml.rpmnew}

Nginx Proxy Changes in 2.1

We are now routing URL and API endpoints directly through Flask @app.route functionality therefore if you were using a modified TLS/SSL vhost configuration file you'll need to set it up again with the new format.

systemctl stop nginx
cd /etc/nginx/conf.d/
mv apiv3_ssl.conf apiv3_ssl.conf.2.0.old
cp apiv3_ssl.conf.example apiv3_ssl.conf
servername=$(hostname) ; sed -i -e "s/quads.example.com/$servername/" /etc/nginx/conf.d/apiv3_ssl.conf
systemctl start nginx

At this point if you are using TLS you'll need to re-edit your apiv3_ssl.conf file again with the correct TLS key and certificate names

systemctl restart nginx
