May Changelog - Guides, Enhancements and more — Changelog

Welcome to the May changelog, this has been a busy month of releases, iterations and many new faces migrating production workloads from Heroku to Northflank!

Will and Cameron sat down with the Kata Containers team to talk about how Northflank leverages Kata, KVM and sandbox isolation to securely operate our multi-tenant infrastructure. https://medium.com/kata-containers/kata-containers-northflank-case-study-6ff0ce17bfd1

Guides

This month we were excited to welcome Jesbin and Amit to the Northflank guides blog, thank you for your contributions and excited to work together on more deployment guides!

May’s improvements and fixes:

Added force certificate re-generation button in the UI
Added volume configuration during service creation
Added additional DNS purge when a custom domain is linked to a service
Added quotes correctly to original Docker CMD when copying
Added additional shortlinks to add new Git integrations in areas listing VCS data
Added support for reaping zombie processes which are not always properly cleaned up by applications spawning child processes. This also fixes RabbitMQ restarting due to accumulation of zombie processes created when running health checks
Fixed distributed MinIO addons failing during startup phase in some circumstances
Fixed Buildpack builds relating to CVE-2022-24765
Fixed cursor hiding text when configuring alias in addon secret group
Fixed termination signalling for containers. Containers are now being sent a SIGTERM signal before being terminated. This allows the workload to intercept the exit signal and shut down properly before final termination
Fixed clock drift within sandboxed containers that led to deviating system time in different containers
Fixed an issue with service creation from template where a build would not be initiated automatically
Fixed inconsistent addon upgrade icons and added shortcut to upgrades page
Fixed issue where jobs deploying from a build service that were set to run on image change would sometimes fail to run after a build was completed
Improved performance for fetching user version control data (repositories, branches, pull requests)
Improved handling of xterm when a browser window is resized for terminal and exec
Improved handling for copying and paste for terminal and exec
Improved Postgres addon startup times using optimised probe settings
Correctly display usage in years for invoice item breakdowns
Improved handling of sudo mode when loading secret files and other secrets
Improved validation triggers for branch option selection, port duplication, and health-checks
Removed health checks from project quick starts

API, JS-client and CLI:

Run Job endpoint now optionally takes a billing object with a deployment plan to override the current deployment plan for a single job run
Get Job runs and Get Job details endpoints now return concludedAt, the timestamp when the run has concluded
Fixed an issue where creating a service could sometimes return an error code despite the creation being successful
