0.5.0

  • BREAKING: Change default OS / OS prefix to ubuntu2204-. Bionic support is EOL as of 2023-04-30 This change also impacts the default set of content execution images. Changing the execution environment OS will cause a rebuild for all currently deployed content.
    • If you want to revert this change, set image.tagPrefix=bionic- (server), launcher.defaultInitContainer.tagPrefix=bionic- (content-init), and modify the set of content images defined by launcher.customRuntimeYaml to use bionic instead of ubuntu2204
    • BREAKING: Off-Host Execution Beta users who are currently evaluating this feature set can use the example values defined in https://github.com/rstudio/helm/tree/main/examples/connect/beta-migration to assit with the content migration from bionic to jammy

  • BREAKING: turn pod.serviceAccountName WARNING into an error as well.
  • Add provisional support for launcher.templateValues.pod.env, launcher.templateValues.pod.nodeSelector, and launcher.templateValues.pod.priorityClassName
  • NOTE: we are making these values induce failure so that CI systems and other deployments are explicit about the unused values. Please share feedback if this creates problems in your environment.

0.3.0

  • BETA BREAKING: We moved launcher.contentInitContainer customizations to launcher.defaultInitContainer
    • This should only affect if you are using launcher.enabled=true, which is still in Beta
    • Values are treated the same, so a simple modification to the key should resolve any issues
  • RStudio Connect with off-host execution is now in Public Beta
  • Add support for the launcher.useTemplates value
    • This enables greater customization of session creation as well as better labels and annotations out of the box
    • To make use of the default session templates, configure values in launcher.sessionTemplate
  • Enable logging using RStudio Connect’s new logging configuration (effective with version 2022.07)
  • Add a toggle for launcher.defaultInitContainer.enabled to turn off the default init container
    • When using the launcher, it is important that sessions have the RStudio Connect “session runtime” available
    • By default, we make these available through an init container, but they can also be provided other ways
    • By disabling this setting, you are opting into managing this runtime requirement yourself
  • Add values for pod.port and service.targetPort
  • Allow launcher.additionalRuntimeImages and launcher.customRuntimeYaml="pro" (##238, ##92)

0.2.38

  • Bump rstudio-library chart version

0.2.32

  • Update rstudio-library chart version. Add support for lists in INI file sections.

0.2.31

  • Bump Connect version to 2022.05.0

0.2.30

0.2.20

  • Add extraObjects value. This allows deploying additional resources (with templating) straight from the values file!

0.2.18

  • Bump Connect version to 2021.12.1

0.2.17

  • Make startupProbe, readinessProbe and livenessProbe more configurable (##97)
    • They still use the enabled key to turn on or off
    • We then remove this key with omit, and pass the values verbatim to the template (as YAML)

0.2.16

  • Update rstudio-library chart version. This adds a helper for rendering Ingress resources
  • Create k8s.networking.io/v1 Ingress resource when ingress.enabled: true and Kubernetes version is >=1.19 (##117)

0.2.15

  • Bump Connect version to 2021.12.0

0.2.14

  • Bump library-chart version

0.2.13

  • Add configuration values for pod.haste to set (or unset) the RSTUDIO_CONNECT_HASTE variable
  • Add a pod.labels values option (##101)

0.2.12

  • Bump Connect version to 2021.11.1

0.2.11

  • move “privileged: true” into values.yaml, because it is no longer necessary for rstudio-connect server or sessions when launcher is enabled.
    • To disable when using the launcher, set securityContext: null
    • NOTE: securityContext: {} will not remove the default, because helm values merge objects by default
  • location for RStudio Connect’s KubernetesProfilesConfig file has changed from /etc/rstudio/launcher.kubernetes.profiles.conf to /etc/rstudio-connect/launcher/launcher.kubernetes.profiles.conf so as to not conflict with RStudio Workbench

0.2.10

  • Update default RStudio Connect version to 2021.11.0

0.2.9

  • Add imagePullSecrets value option (##57)

0.2.8

  • Update default RStudio Connect version to 2021.10.0

0.2.6

  • Update rstudio-library chart version

0.2.5

  • Update default RStudio Connect version to 2021.09.0

0.2.4

  • Enabled Python support in Connect by default when launcher.enabled=true
  • Any values defined in the config section now take precendence over those that are set by the Helm chart’s logic.

0.2.3

  • Update default RStudio Connect version to 2021.08.2

0.2.2

  • Added a new parameter rbac.clusterRoleCreate to values.yaml to allow for disabling the creation of the ClusterRole that allows for access to the nodes API. This API is used to ensure that all of the IP addresses for nodes are available when reporting the addresses of the node that is running a particular job so that clients can connect to it. This is generally not a needed permission for the Launcher as the internal IP is usually sufficient, so it is disabled by default.

0.2.1

  • Update docs

0.2.0

  • BREAKING: Licensing configuration now uses a license section. For example, license: my-key should be changed to

    license:
  key: my-key

  • Added support for floating licenses and license files.

  • Default RStudio Connect version is now 1.9.0.1

  • Add a prestart.bash script for use when launcher.enabled=true

    • when launcher.enabled=true, the chart changes command and args dynamically to use this script
    • if you set command and args yourself, we will use your settings instead. Be sure:
      • that /scripts/prestart.bash is executed (for Kubernetes setup)
      • that /usr/local/bin/startup.sh is executed (for licensing)

  • Add RBAC via the rstudio-library chart

  • Add runtime.yaml configuration (for runtime containers)

  • Change default configuration when launcher is enabled

  • Add the ability to more easily customize launcher.kubernetes.profiles.conf

    • Set up the profiles defaults to include the init container

  • Allow more easily mounting a named PVC that was not created by the chart

  • Make the “target” launcher namespace configurable

  • Add a default value for service.port: 80

0.1.2

  • Add ingress as an option
  • Add annotations to deployment so that the pods roll when config changes

0.1.1

  • Update to 1.8.6.2
  • Update docs

0.1.0

  • Change naming convention
    • This fixes issues with namespacing
    • However, it will damage backwards compatibility, particularly for PVCs if using sharedStorage.create = true
    • If you need to migrate data, set replicas: 0, upgrade, and then copy the data to the new PVC
    • Alternatively, you can set fullnameOverride: "previous-release-name" to force backwards compatibility
      • Finally, deployment selectors have changed, so you will need to delete the current deployment manually, then put back with helm upgrade --install
    • Use helm diff upgrade to ensure things are working as you expect before upgrading

0.0.3

  • Add HA, Postgres, PVC, monitoring

0.0.2

  • Minimally viable
