- Migrate from Gitlab CI to Github Actions
- Add a CODEOWNERS file to protect CI
- Run CI on pull requests
- Go: code linting, unit testing
- Helm chart linting (install test to be added later)
- Dockerfile linting
- Security checks on dependencies
- New build targets for binary releases
- OS: NetBSD, illumos
- Architecture: RISC-V (Linux only), closes Build container images for RISC-V #49
- Builds know their release date and commit hash in addition to version (to be used for an upcoming "info" metric)
- Assets uploaded to the release before it's published
- Compress released binaries (tgz or zip), and add fingerprint files for SHA-256 checksum verification
- Container images
- Switch to buildah for daemon-less building, assembling multi-platform manifest, and pushing to registries
- Images now ship the same static binaries from release assets
- New flavors
- Busybox (uclibc)
- Distroless "scratch"
- Busybox images are now shipped under the default version tag, to improve compatibility with legacy environments, and alleviate security strain on some user systems
- Alpine image based on version 3.16, previously 3.14 (may cause compatibility problems, but not the default anymore)
- Helm chart
- New value to suffix image tag and choose a container image flavor
- Improve translation of Semantic Release changelog to Artifacthub specifications, and add support for the new format
Preparing for the pending migration to Github Actions.
Will be used for a future metric reporting exporter infos.
Alpine Linux has raised issues when tracking latest versions, with muscl enabling new syscalls not handled by old CRIs. This project running a static binary, we do not need or benefit from a cutting edge userland, and would rather prefer to maximize compatibility with legacy environments. The distribution also has a larger surface for security vulnerabilities with many libraries installed, forcing otherwise unnecessary builds so that users would not be affected by security scans in their clusters or registries. Busybox was chosen as an alternative to going distroless by default, as the exporter is dealing with volumes where having a shell is convenient for debugging file access. All container images will keep being built, including Alpine, and base image versions will be bumped as needed. But hopefully this switch will reduce pain for users.
RISC-V not being supported in Alpine 3.16, we'll use "edge" as the base image for the time being.
