Changes since Beta 3760.1.1

Security fixes:

Bug fixes:

  • AWS: Fixed the Amazon SSM agent that was crashing. (Flatcar#1307)
  • Fixed a bug resulting in coreos-cloudinit resetting the instance hostname to 'localhost' if no metadata could be found (coreos-cloudinit#25, Flatcar#1262), with contributions from MichaelEischer
  • Fixed supplying extension update payloads with a custom base URL in Nebraska (Flatcar#1281)
  • Set TTY used for fetching server_context to RAW mode before running cloudinit on cloudsigma (scripts#1280)

Changes:

  • Torcx, the mechanism to provide a custom Docker version, was replaced by systemd-sysext in the OS image. Learn more about sysext and how to customise OS images here and read the blogpost about the replacement here.
    • Torcx entered deprecation 2 years ago in favour of deploying plain Docker binaries
      (which is now also a legacy option because systemd-sysext offers a more robust and better structured way of customisation, including OS independent updates).
    • Torcx has been removed entirely; if you use Torcx to extend the Flatcar base OS image, please refer to our conversion script and to the sysext documentation mentioned above for migrating.
    • Consequently, update_engine will not perform torcx sanity checks post-update anymore.
    • Relevant changes: scripts#1216, update_engine#30, Mantle#466, Mantle#465.
  • cri-tools, runc, containerd, docker, and docker-cli are now built from Gentoo upstream ebuilds. Docker received a major version upgrade - it was updated to Docker 24 (from Docker 20; see "updates").
    • NOTE: The docker btrfs storage driver has been de-prioritised; BTRFS backed storage will now default to the overlay2 driver
      (changelog, upstream pr).
      Using the btrfs driver can still be enforced by creating a respective docker config at /etc/docker/daemon.json.
    • NOTE: If you are already using btrfs-backed Docker storage and are upgrading to this new version, Docker will automatically use the btrfs storage driver for backwards-compatibility with your deployment.
      • Docker will remove the btrfs driver entirely in a future version. Please consider migrating your deployments to the overlay2 driver.
  • GCP OEM images now use a systemd-sysext image for layering additional platform-specific software on top of /usr and being part of the OEM A/B updates (flatcar#1146)
