stashed/stash v0.9.0-rc.1

on GitHub

Stash v0.9.0-rc.1 comes with documentation and respective charts for addons to backup databases. It also comes with some bug fixes since v0.9.0-rc.0 release. We have also introduced a kubectl plugin for Stash in this release. Please, try it and give us your valuable feedback. To install, please follow the guide here.

Significant Changes

• Addon Support: Stash addons enable users to extend it's functionality to backup/restore any type of custom workloads. This release includes respective documentations and charts for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and Elasticsearch databases. This enables Stash to backup various KubeDB supported databases. You can also write your own addon to backup your custom target. We will include a guide on how to build addon for Stash in a future release.

• Stash kubectl Plugin (Alpha): We have introduced an experimental Stash kubectl plugin. This will help you to unlock repository, trigger instant backup and copy various Stash resources between namespace and more.

• Introduce BackupHistoryLimit: Now, you can configure how many BackupSession and associate resources (Job, PVC etc) to keep for each backup target. By default, Stash will keep only the history of last backup for debugging purpose. You can configure it using spec.backupHistoryLimit field of BackupConfiguration.

• Introduce InterimVolumeTemplate: We have introduced a new field called InterimVolumeTemplate that can be used to pass a PVC template for storing temporary backup/restore data before uploading to backup or injecting into target. For more details, please visit here.

• Allow subPath in Auto-Backup Annotation: Now, you can provide subPath in auto-backup annotation. For more details, please check here.

• Use Kubebuilder to Generate CRDs: We have moved to kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder for generating CRDs for Stash.
