Garden v0.12.3 is out!
Along with several bugfixes, this release introduces a new dashboard command, and adds a few usability improvements for working with your Garden configuration files. Below are a few highlights, but check out the changelog below for a full listing.
Dashboard command
The new garden dashboard command is designed to run standalone, and receive events from other Garden processes. Any other process running with the same project, environment and namespace will pipe events to this process when it's running.
This means that the Garden dashboard no longer has to sit on top of a single watch-mode command, but instead stays up to date with everything your Garden commands are doing in your project in real time.
We've also added a new provider for Octant, which is a nice web UI for Kubernetes. Just drop it into your project config, and it will show up in your dashboard the next time you load it:
kind: Project
...
providers:
- name: octant
...
YAML and JSON varfiles
Garden now supports YAML- and JSON-formatted varfiles. This enables you to use e.g. objects and arrays as values in your varfiles, making them more flexible and expressive.
$merge key for merging maps together in configs
All objects and mapping fields in Garden configs now support a special $merge key, which allows you to merge two objects together.
This can help make your Garden configs more concise by avoiding repetition:
kind: Project
...
variables:
- commonEnvVars:
LOG_LEVEL: info
SOME_API_KEY: abcdefg
EXTERNAL_API_URL: http://api.example.com
...kind: Module
type: container
name: service-a
...
services:
env:
# <- Because this is above the $merge key, SOME_API_KEY from
# commonEnvVars will override this
SOME_API_KEY: default
$merge: ${var.commonEnvVars}
OTHER_ENV_VAR: something
# <- This overrides the value set in commonEnvVars, because it is
# below the $merge key
LOG_LEVEL: debug
