Release v0.38.1

Versions

  • rancher/server:v0.38.1
  • rancher/agent:v0.8.2
  • rancher/agent-instance:v0.4.1

New Features

  • Rancher Compose CLI support for image force pull [#1955, #1094] - Rancher Compose CLI now supports new capabilities to update images on hosts.
    • rancher-compose pull - pulls the specified image on a service to all hosts that match the host affinity scheduling rule for that service. No scheduling rules means all hosts in the environment.
    • rancher-compose pull --cached - pulls the specified image on a service to all hosts that match the host affinity scheduling rule AND the image must already exist on that host. Again, no scheduling rules means all hosts in the environment. This is typically used to force update an existing image on the host due to Docker caching.
    • rancher-compose upgrade --pull - on rolling upgrade, specifying --pull will update the image first on the host before starting new containers.
    • adding io.rancher.container.pull_image: always in a container or service will result in Rancher always force pulling the image before starting the container.
  • Improved Rancher Server installation - With this release, Rancher Server will no longer require any internet access for installation.
  • Improved monitoring stats for containers and hosts [#1265] - Added additional network and storage monitoring stats to hosts and containers. You will now also be able to view container stats in an aggregated view under hosts and services without requiring to click into each individual container.
