A corrective update for Cozystack v0.9.1 has been released

- Fixed an issue with the kubevirt-capi-provider not starting for provisioning tenant Kubernetes clusters
- Detailed dashboards for nginx-ingress-controller are now working

By the way, feel free to add your company or project to ADOPTERS.md. It will help Cozystack to become a CNCF Sandbox project.

Release v0.10 of the Open Source Cozystack Platform: Network Isolation, NATS, FerretDB, etcd-operator 0.4.0, and Other Features

The Cozystack v0.10.1 release is now available for download, installation, or updating your current installation.

Key Changes:

- Added FerretDB
- Added NATS
- Added the isolated: <true|false> option in tenant settings for enabling network isolation using network policies
- Added the dashboard: <true|false> option in ingress settings to enable access to the Cozystack dashboard through the ingress controller
- Added the whitelist option in ingress settings to specify networks allowed access
- Added the cloudflareProxy option in ingress settings to restore the real client IP address when proxying through CloudFlare
- Dashboard logos are now included directly with the platform instead of being downloaded from an external server
- Postgres: Added a handler for automatically setting correct privileges when creating schemas
- Improved DX: All system releases that were suspended will be unsuspended upon restarting the Cozystack container
- Fixed an issue with running Kafka in a single instance and updated settings for topics
- Renamed HelmRelease for ingress-nginx and grafana-oncall to include the suffix -system, as they are installed from system packages and managed by FluxCD
- Updated etcd-operator to version v0.4, now supports online volume resizing, and includes podDisruptionBudget
- Updated ingress-nginx-controller to version v1.11
- Improved logic for forwarding user traffic in tenant clusters, with separate handling of HTTP and HTTPS traffic on their respective ports
- Fixed metrics collection in ingress, the dashboard now displays detailed data on user requests and metrics
- Fixed kubelet garbage collection and introduce ephemeralStorage parameter for controlling size of disk for ephemeral data in tenant Kubernetes clusters

Additionally, we updated the etcd-operator to version 0.4.0 (also included in the platform):

- Added online volume resizing
- Refactored code, replacing most functions with built-in functions from the k8s library
- User-provided options for etcd are now sorted to produce a deterministic result

Hi there!

We are trying to move Cozystack to CNCF Sandbox and guys from CNCF asked us to make some presentation about our platform. We are looking for projects and companies which use Cozystack. If you one of them, write our BDO and he will add your company to our adopters file.

It is really urgent and important for boosting Cozystack.

We created reference repository to show how to configure Cozystack services using GitOps approach
https://github.com/aenix-io/cozystack-gitops-example

We've updated our website, adding new recordings from conferences, information about company and our clients who consented to be mentioned.

Timur Tukaev has joined to our team as BDO! 🎉

We are pleased to introduce the new COSI driver for SeaweedFS.

COSI is a unified Container Object Storage Interface for Kubernetes. It introduces new resources such as BucketClaim, Bucket, and BucketAccess for the declarative provisioning of S3 buckets and access management based on the PVC principle.

We are working on adding support for S3 buckets in Cozystack, and this driver will allow you to automatically order buckets directly from Kubernetes.

This is another project that we have developed in open source and are now gifting to the SeaweedFS community. The project has already been moved under the umbrella of the organization, and the official SeaweedFS chart has been expanded to include COSI support.

😎 New article in our blog.

We talked about some of the issues we encountered during the migration FreeIPA. Interesting engineering case.

A new article in our blog about Cozystack adoption written by one of our early clients🔥🔥🔥

We have updated our Development Guide,

Added instructions on how to create a development environment and run end-to-end tests directly within an existing Kubernetes cluster.

Thanks to mirrord, development in such environments has become simple and more interactive.

To get started, navigate to packages/core/testing:

- Create a new development environment: make apply
- Run tests: make test
- Access the deployed sandbox: make login
- Run a SOCKS5 proxy to access Cozystack dashboard and Grafana from your browser.
