2021-06-10

Fixes

• update Cassandra role (#455)
• fix automated Ansible deployment (#468)

2021-05-10

Features

• Airgap installer is available. See [./offline/docs.md] for rudimentary
  instructions. We will integrate this into https://docs.wire.com/ over time
• Switched to nix+direnv for installing all the required dependencies for wire-server-deploy. If you do not want to use these tools you can use the quay.io/wire/wire-server-deploy container image and mount wire-server-deploy into it.

Versions

• wire version 2.106.0 when using the offline installer. However airgap
  bundles for charts might be moved to wire-server repository in the future; to
  decouple wire-server releases from the base platform.
• kubespray 2.15.0 (kubernetes 1.19.7)
• ansible-restund v0.2.6 (restund version v0.4.16b1.0.53)
• ansible-minio v2.1.0
• ansible-cassandra version v0.1.3
• ansible-elasticsearch 6.6.0

Breaking changes

• Nix and direnv are used for installing all required tooling.

• charts have been moved to wire-server. Chart lifecycle is now tied to
  wire-server instead and is decoupled from the underlying platform. Charts in wire-server
  should be installed with helm 3.

• Our kubespray reference implementation has been bumped to kuberspray 2.15.0
  and kubernetes 1.19.7. This allows us to use Kubespray's support for offline deployments
  and new Kubernetes API features.

  If you were using our reference playbooks for setting up kubernetes, there is
  no direct upgrade path. Instead you should set up a new cluster; migrate the
  deployments there, and then point to the new cluster. This is rather easy at
  the moment as we only run stateless services in Kubernetes at this point.

• Restund role was bumped and uses docker instead of rkt now.
  We advice bringing up a fresh restund server; so that rkt is not installed.
  See wireapp/ansible-restund@4db0bc0

  If you want to re-use your existing server we recommend:

  1. ssh into your restund server.
  2. systemctl stop restund.service
  3. now outside again, run the restund.yml playbook.

Update instructions

A new mandatory option has been introduced to
brig and galley which in the future will be used for Wire federation. This domain name
is not optional even if federation is not used.

Please update your values/wire-server/values.yaml to set brig.optSettings.setFederationDomain
and galley.settings.federationDomain (Note the slightly different option name).

Because federation is not enabled yet the value of this option does not really
matter at this point, but we advise you to set it to the base domain of your
wire instalation.

NOTE: These changes apply to chart version 0.129.0 and later eventhough
this release was made later than that 0.129.0 chart was published. We're sorry for the
inconvenience.

Features

• A chart has been added for setting up a single-node conferencing server (Also known as SFT) (#382)

2020-12-07

Update instructions

The redis chart that we updated to exposes the redis service as
redis-ephemeral-master instead of redis-ephemeral.

You should update your values/wire-server/values.yaml to point gundeck to the new service name

       redis:
-        host: redis-ephemeral
+        host: redis-ephemeral-master

If a gundeck crashes whilst deploying this release, it might not be able to
reconnect to redis until the release is fully rolled out. However this risk is
small.

If you installed the wire/redis-ephemeral chart directly:

helm upgrade redis-ephemeral wire/redis-ephemeral -f <values>
helm upgrade wire-server wire/wire-server -f <values>

If you installed the wire/databases-ephemeral chart:

helm upgrade databases-ephemeral wire/databases-ephemeral -f <values>
helm upgrade wire-server wire/wire-server -f  <values>
