Repository Change

We renamed the devspace repository from devspace-cloud/devspace to loft-sh/devspace. We felt this change was necessary, since there was some confusion regarding the relationship between devspace, devspace-cloud and loft:

• devspace: devspace is the client-only developer tool for cloud-native development with kubernetes that is completely open-source and free.
• devspace-cloud & loft: loft is the successor of devspace-cloud and is a solution for a building a developer platform based on kubernetes. Its main features includes virtual clusters and sleep mode for unused kubernetes resources. devspace-cloud itself is still available for old customers however development is discontinued and only hot fixes are still deployed. Loft itself can be used without or with devspace. In the latter case there is a loft plugin for devspace for a direct integration, but a separate loft cli exists as well. Loft is only is partly open source (cli & kiosk) and a commercial product, but not required if you just want to use devspace.

Changes

• Fixed a nil pointer that occured if devspace was used with minikube and kubernetes v1.20.2 (#1303)
• Fixed an issue where the internal sync event buffer could overflow and was missing changes (#1296)

Changes

• Improved the way devspace sync --config ... asks for a sync path by displaying the image or label selector (#1300)
• It is now allowed again to define dev.sync.imageName and dev.sync.labelSelector simultaneously
• Improved the way devspace searches for image names that were not previously deployed and have a tag that contains '#' (#1301)

Changes

• New options images.build.kaniko.command, images.build.kaniko.env, images.build.kaniko.initEnv and images.build.kaniko.skipPullSecretMount for kaniko builder
• Improved validation for dev.sync, dev.ports and profiles config sections

New Features

• New flag --parent-profile to apply multiple profiles with flags:

# Applies the profiles profile1, profile2, profile3 and profile4 in this order
devspace dev --parent-profile=profile1 --parent-profile=profile2 --parent-profile=profile3 --profile=profile4
# You can also leave out the --profile flag and only the profiles
# profile1, profile2 and profile3 are appied
devspace dev --parent-profile=profile1 --parent-profile=profile2 --parent-profile=profile3

• New options upload and download for hooks to upload or download files from a container:

hooks:
# Upload the complete local bin folder to the container path ./bin
- upload:
    localPath: bin
    containerPath: bin
  where:
    container:
      imageName: default
  when:
    after:
      deployments: deployment-1
# Download a single file from the container to the local path

• Removed several options in devspace init that would lead to an incomplete devspace.yaml
• The flags --save-vars and --restore-vars are now global

New Features

• DevSpace will now replace '#' in image tags with random characters, which gives you more freedom to specify image tags with random components (#1188):

images:
  app:
    tags:
    # Each single hashtag will be replaced with a random character
    - my-###-latest
    - ${DEVSPACE_GIT_BRANCH}-#####
    - ${USER}-#####
    - '############'

• DevSpace now allows you to specify tag(registry/repo/image) and image(registry/repo/image) in helm values to only insert a tag or the image name without any modification. This is useful for helm charts that split image and tag (#1188):

images:
  default:
    image: registry/repo/image
    tags:
    - random-#####
deployments:
- name: my-deployment
  helm:
    chart: ...
    values: 
      # Will be replaced by devspace to -> imageWithTag: registry/repo/image:random-xAhgW
      imageWithTag: registry/repo/image
      # Will be replaced by devspace to -> image: registry/repo/image
      image: image(registry/repo/image)
      # Will be replaced by devspace to -> tag: random-xAhgW
      tag: tag(registry/repo/image)

• New dev.logs.selectors option that allows you to specify additional label selectors to select pods you want to stream logs from:

images:
  default:
    image: registry/repo/image
dev:
  logs:
    images: 
    # Selects all pods that use the image default (registry/repo/image)
    - default
    selectors:
    # Selects all pods with the given label selector and streams the logs to the console
    - labelSelector:
        abc: def
      containerName: optional
      namespace: optional

• Hooks can now be executed in a container by specifying hooks.*.where.container:

...
hooks:
- command: "echo"
  args: ["Hello from within the container!"]
  where: 
    container:
      imageName: default
      # Or select via labelSelector etc.
      # labelSelector: ...
  when:
    after:
      deployments: my-deployment
...

• Hooks for images can now be specified for specific images instead of only "all":

images:
  image-1:
    image: registry/repo/image
  image-2:
    image: registry/repo/image
hooks:
- command: "echo"
  args: ["before", "all"]
  when:
    before:
      images: all
- command: "echo"
  args: ["before", "image-1"]
  when:
    before:
      images: image-1
- command: "echo"
  args: ["before", "image-2"]
  when:
    before:
      images: image-2

• New flags --container, --pod, --label-selector and --pick for command devspace restart

• New config option images.*.restartHelperPath to override the bundled restart helper with a custom script
• New config option images.*.build.docker.useCli to configure DevSpace to use the docker cli directly

Other Changes

• log streaming was greatly improved and should now automatically reconnect and recognize new upcoming pods that match the specified selectors. (#1149)
• The sync output is now merged by default with the log output to make it clearer what DevSpace is doing in the background. You can disable this new behaviour and restore the old by specifying dev.logs.sync: false in the devspace.yaml
• Improved the way DevSpace will select pods and containers for sync, port-forwarding and terminal
• Updated the internal kubectl and helm versions that will be downloaded if there couldn't be any found in the PATH.
• Fixed an issue where dev.autoReload.deployments would not correctly watch for changes to manifest folders and values files (#1255)
• Fixed an issue where devspace init would create a failing devspace.yaml if the Dockerfile was missing ENTRYPOINT and CMD (#1252)
• Fixed an issue where switching the profile would not redeploy, if it was deployed before with another profile
• Fixed an issue on older windows systems where the terminal output was corrupted.
• Fixed an issue where some .dockerignore statements were not correctly working with kaniko builder
• Fixed an issue where devspace would not correctly rebuild in some cases
• Fixed an issue where created image pull secrets could have a name that was too long

Changes

• New option hooks.*.when.onError to execute hooks if an error has occured (#1239):

# This will print the error to the console that has occured during a deployment
hooks:
- command: "sh"
  os: linux,darwin
  args: 
  - -c
  - 'echo "The following error has occured: $DEVSPACE_HOOK_ERROR"'
  when:
    onError:
      deployments: all

• The following environment variables will now be passed to an executed hook:
  • DEVSPACE_HOOK_KUBE_CONTEXT: the name of the kube context that was used
  • DEVSPACE_HOOK_KUBE_NAMESPACE: the name of the kube namespace that was used
  • DEVSPACE_HOOK_OS_ARGS: json encoded os.Args that were used to call devspace
  • DEVSPACE_HOOK_ERROR: if an error has occured contains the error (only for onError hooks)
• New option dependencies.*.vars to override variables in dependency configs:

# This will deploy the same dependency 2 times with different variable values
dependencies:
- source:
    path: my-dependency
  vars:
  - name: TEST
    value: value-1
- source:
    path: my-dependency
  vars:
  - name: TEST
    value: value-2

• New config options images.*.build.kaniko.nodeSelector, images.*.build.kaniko.initImage and images.*.build.kaniko.serviceAccount that make the kaniko pod creation more customizable (#1240)
• From now on, the sync helper binary, component chart and ui are compiled into the devspace binary and not downloaded anymore. This should reduce the time to deploy charts and makes it easier to use devspace in air-gapped environments
• Fixes an issue in dependencies where loading a config with variables from a relative local path command could result in an error
