  • Knowledge Graph: dataset free-text search performance improvements.

  • Authentication: enable renku login support for CLI so that users can interact with private repositories without using a GitLab password or an ssh key.

Bug Fixes

  • Environments: listing orphaned user sessions tied to a deleted project/branch/namespace.

  • Environments: bugs with mistyped variable and missing branches in autosave.

  • UI: prevent values duplication on session enumerations.

0.8.4

This version of Renku introduces the ability to use persistent volumes for user sessions. This is optional and can be enabled in the values file for the helm chart. In addition to enabling this feature users have the ability to select the storage class used by the persistent volumes. We strongly recommend that a storage class with a Delete reclaim policy is used, otherwise persistent volumes from all user sessions will keep accumulating.

Also, unlike previous versions, with 0.8.4 the amount of disk storage will be strongly enforced, regardless of whether persistent volumes are used or not. With persistent volumes users will simply run out of space. However, when persistent volumes are not used, going over the amount of storage that a user has requested when starting their session will result in eviction of the k8s pod that runs the session and termination of the session. Therefore, admins are advised to review and set proper options for disk sizes in the notebooks.serverOptions portion of the values file.

Improvements

  • UI: Add banner advertising new version to logged-in users and various improvements in the new canary deployment itself.

  • Environments: Ability to use persistent volumes for user sessions.

Bug Fixes

  • CI/CD: CI action entrypoint typo (3858df0)

  • Acceptance Tests: flaky FreeTextDatasetSearchSpec (a872504)

  • Acceptance Tests: retry when EOF occurs on the Rest Client (#2211) (e81a212)

  • Acceptance Tests: Wait for the dataset search results (#2210) (132ec8b)

Features

  • CI/CD: parametrize rancher API endpoint (46a5155)

Upgrading from 0.8.3

When upgrading from 0.8.3 the following steps should be taken based on whether you would like to use persistent volumes for user sessions or not:

Use persistent volumes:

  1. Edit the notebooks.userSessionPersistentVolumes section of the values.yaml file changing the enabled flag to true and selecting a storage class to be used with every user session. It is strongly recommended to select a storage class with a Delete retention policy to avoid the accumulation of persistent volumes with every session launch.

  2. Review and modify (if needed) the disk request options in the values.yaml file.

  3. Review and modify (if needed) the the server defaults in the values.yaml file. These will be used if a specific server options is omitted in the request to create a session and should be compatible with any matching values in the serverOptions section. It also allows an administrator to omit an option from the selection menu that is defined in the serverOptions section and have renku always use the default from the serverDefaults section.

Do not use persistent volumes:

  1. Review and modify (if needed) the disk request options in the values.yaml file. Please note that if a user consumes more disk space than they requested (or more than what is set in the serverDefaults of the values file) then the user’s session will be evicted. This is necessary because if a user consumes a lot of space on the node where their session is scheduled k8s starts to evict user sessions on that node regardless of whether they are using a lot of disk space or not. This sometimes results in the eviction of multiple sessions and not the session that is consuming the most storage resources.

  2. Review and modify (if needed) the the server defaults in the values.yaml file. These will be used if a specific server options is omitted in the request to create a session and should be compatible with any matching values in the serverOptions section. It also allows an administrator to omit an option from the selection menu that is defined in the serverOptions section and have renku always use the default from the serverDefaults section.

0.8.3

This is a bugfix release that includes fixes to Knowledge Graph. For more details please check the renku-graph 1.36.6 release notes.

Upgrading from 0.7.7

Breaking change Keycloak chart dependency has been upgraded from 4.10.2 to 9.8.1 which will trigger an irreversible database migration, check out the upgrade instructions for more details.

Most notably, keycloak values are less nested, so at the level of the Renku chart values, keycloak.keycloak.X.Y becomes keycloak.X.Y. You can also check out the instructions on how to upgrade aspects not covered by default in the Renku chart.

If the Renkulab deployment includes keycloak, the values file should be modified as follows: * DELETE - the section keycloak.keycloak.persistence has been removed. Database connection details are specified through the keycloak.extraEnv and keycloak.extraEnvFrom blocks. See the Renku values file for reference. * EDIT - keycloak.keycloak.username has been moved to global.keycloak.user.

Finally, before applying the helm upgrade, the Keycloak statefulset should be deleted.

0.7.7

0.7.2

This release brings several smaller improvements and bug-fixes, the most notable of which are:

New features

  • Datasets Add new fields and the possibility to edit existing fields to the web UI.

  • Knowledge Graph Improve information flow related to KG integration and Renku version updates in the UI.

Fixes

  • Project creation: improve name validation, the handling of non ASCII characters and a bug which led to failures when fetching the available templates.

  • Graph processing: fix a bug in prioritizing events for processing.

For details check out the individual component updates.

0.7.1

This release features an update to the default project templates, bumping the default renku CLI version to ``0.12.0` <https://github.com/SwissDataScienceCenter/renku-python/releases/tag/v0.12.0>`_ and some backend bug fixes.

Fixes

  • Graph building: several improvements to graph building, including a fix for metadata compaction in renku-core that caused some entities to not get processed.

0.7.0

This release brings a lot of important new features to both Renkulab and the Renku CLI. It’s our best one yet!

New features

  • Project templates: you can now create custom templates for your projects and use them on project initialization. Great for groups or courses! See the docs for more details.

  • Datasets: you can now search for datasets and import them into projects directly from the Renkulab web UI. The dataset import and creation flow has also been much improved thanks to changes in the core service backend. Note that importing datasets from other renku projects from the UI currently works only for datasets in public repositories.

  • Data import: files can be imported into datasets directly from a URL.

  • Project migration: the metadata of renku projects occasionally changes. In order for all the components to work well together, the metadata must be kept in sync. Previously you needed to do this manually with the CLI but now it’s as easy as clicking a button.

  • Template simplification: We have decoupled the CLI version from the base image and made it easier to override in your own environments. See the project template README for details.

  • Improved editor: All text editing components are using an enhanced editor that allows seamless switching between WYSIWYG and markdown.

  • renku save: the Renku CLI now features a save command that simplifies the process of committing and pushing your project to the server.

Improvements

  • Dataset deletion: Datasets used to stick around even after getting deleted from the project. This has now been fixed and deleted datasets no longer appear in the dataset listings.

  • git credentials: the interactive sessions now handle your git credentials in a way that allows you to seamlessly access any of your private repositories on renkulab from within an interactive session.

  • git hooks in interactive sessions: git hooks were not previously installed per default in interactive sessions, which meant that some nice features like automatically pushing large files to LFS did not work correctly. This has now been corrected and should hopefully save many repositories from improperly handled data!

  • graph redesign: Under the hood, the renku-python library has a completely redesigned knowledge graph model. This enormous effort doesn’t translate to user-visible improvements yet, but they’re coming in the next release!

Many other improvements and bug fixes across all of the renku components, which have significantly improved the stability of the entire platform!

Upgrading user projects

To upgrade your existing renkulab project to the latest images, the easiest is if you copy/paste a Dockerfile that suits your project (python/R/Bioconductor) from the renku project templates repository.

Note that even if you upgrade the image, the project in the repository will still need to be migrated. You can do this on the command line by running renku migrate in your project or follow the instructions in the UI when prompted.

Changes and improvements in the platform deployment

  • Breaking change: Postgresql chart: we have switched to the Bitnami version of the Postgresql helm chart - this requires a manual intervention when upgrading from renku 0.6.8.

  • Kubernetes: renku is now compatible with kubernetes >= 1.16 (tested on 1.16)

  • Helm3: the renku helm charts are now compatible with helm 3

0.6.8
