Wire-Server `5.30.0` release¶

For details, see the release changelog on the wire-server repo.

Artifact: wire-server-deploy-static-1349f499ee83c3c2a940dd017f71aeb184e3090c.tgz

Heads up¶

Coming from 5.29.0. In practice most deploys will be coming from 5.28 because 5.29 is broken and gets skipped (see the 5.29 page). The changes below cover both paths.

For deploys that skipped 5.29, the 5.29 changes are still in effect at 5.30, so the 5.29 page is worth a look too. The most important one to know about: at 5.29 tags.proxy was marked obsolete and a bunch of services were moved into the umbrella chart. The tags.proxy part has been undone for this release, see below.

No known bugs at this release.

What must change¶

1. Set `tags.proxy` explicitly¶

At 5.29 tags.proxy was marked obsolete because proxy got moved into the umbrella chart. At 5.30 it's required again. So for deploys that removed it as part of the 5.29 upgrade, or that never had it (because they came straight from 5.28), it has to go back into values/wire-server/values.yaml before this upgrade:

tags:
  proxy: true   # deploy the proxy chart

Or to keep proxy off:

tags:
  proxy: false  # don't deploy the proxy chart

2. Migrate off Restund (if not already done)¶

The restund helm chart and the underlying code stopped being shipped. Deploys still on Restund have to migrate to coturn before this upgrade. Coturn keeps being supported.

This is a planning step, not a values edit.

3. Run the wire-server helm upgrade¶

d helm upgrade --install wire-server ./charts/wire-server --timeout=15m0s \
  --values ./values/wire-server/values.yaml \
  --values ./values/wire-server/secrets.yaml

Recommended cleanup (not strictly required)¶

background-worker now reuses galley's configmap and secrets for the Cassandra, PostgreSQL, and federation domain settings. So a few background-worker overrides in the values files are now duplicated. Removing them is not required, but it's cleaner, and it keeps the two services aligned going forward.

The duplicates to drop:

background-worker.config.cassandraGalley
background-worker.config.postgresql
background-worker.config.federationDomain
background-worker.secrets.pgPassword (this one's in secrets.yaml)

Disk space note¶

Each upgrade in this series re-runs setup-offline-sources, which copies the new release's binaries, container images, and debs into /opt/assets on the assethost. After a few versions, the assethost runs out of space and the playbook fails with no space left on device.

When that happens, SSH into the assethost (not the adminhost) and clear it:

sudo rm -rvf /opt/assets

Then re-run setup-offline-sources from the adminhost.
