Release Channels

4081.2.0
Release Date: Nov 13, 2024

The Stable channel is intended for use in production clusters. Versions of Flatcar Container Linux have been tested as they move through Alpha and Beta channels before being promoted to stable.

4116.1.0
Release Date: Nov 13, 2024

The Beta channel is where Flatcar Container Linux stability is solidified. We encourage including some beta machines in production clusters in order to catch any issues that may arise with your setup.

4152.0.0
Release Date: Nov 13, 2024

The Alpha channel follows a more frequent release cadence and is where new updates are introduced. Users can try the new versions of the Linux kernel, systemd and other core packages.

3510.3.5
Release Date: Jul 2, 2024

LTS release streams will be maintained for an extended lifetime of 18 months. The yearly LTS streams have an overlap of 6 months.

Release Notes

⚠️ End of support for CGroupsV1 in early 2025 ⚠️

Flatcar will stop supporting the cgroups v1 backwards compatibility mode in Q1 2025. With our adoption of systemd-256, support for legacy CGroupsV1 will end in Alpha, Beta, and eventually Stable. Enabling legacy CGroupsV1 during deployment will not be supported anymore. Nodes that use CGroupsV1 legacy mode will fail to update. This ensures your workloads will not be disrupted. Enable CGroupsV2 on your legacy CGroupsV1 nodes in order to successfully update. LTS-2024 will support CGroupsV1 until late 2025. We will regularly call out and discuss CGroupsV1 retirement in our Office Hours and Developer Sync calls.

containerd - 1.7.21
docker - 26.1.0
ignition - 2.19.0
kernel - 6.6.60
systemd - 255

Changes since Stable 3975.2.2

Security fixes:

Bug fixes:

  • CloudSigma: Disabled the new DHCP RapidCommit feature which is enabled by default since systemd 255. CloudSigma provides an incompatible implementation which results in cloud-init not being applied as no IP is issued. See: (flatcar/scripts#2016)
  • Fixed bad usage of gpg that prevented flatcar-install from being used with custom signing keys (Flatcar#1471)
  • Fixed the initrd option in the QEMU launcher script. It was -R, but this was already taken by the read-only pflash option, so use -r instead. (scripts#2239)

Changes:

  • As part of the update to Catalyst 4 (used to build the SDK), the coreos package repository has been renamed to coreos-overlay to match its directory name. This will be reflected in package listings and package manager output. (flatcar/scripts#2115)
  • Provided a Python Flatcar extension as optional systemd-sysext image with the release. Write ‘python’ to /etc/flatcar/enabled-sysext.conf through Ignition and the sysext will be installed during provisioning (scripts#1979)
  • Added Akamai / Linode images (flatcar/scripts#1806)
  • Removed unused grub executable duplicate files and removed grub modules that are already assembled in the grub executable (flatcar/scripts#1955).
  • Replace nmap netcat with openbsd variant. The license didn’t get an exception from CNCF. Something about the definition of “derivative works” being too broad.
  • The docker build command will now use buildx as its backend as the old one became deprecated and a loud “DEPRECATED” information is printed every time it’s used.
  • The kernel security module Landlock is now enabled for programs to sandbox themselves (flatcar/scripts#2158)
  • libcrypt is now provided by the libxcrypt library instead of glibc. Glibc libcrypt was deprecated long time ago.
  • Disable CONFIG_NFS_V4_2_READ_PLUS kernel config to fix nfs-ganesha (flatcar/scripts#2390)

Changes since Stable 3975.2.0

Security fixes:

Bug fixes:

  • Fix ownership of systemd units shipped with built-in docker/containerd sysexts. The files shipped on production images were accidentally owned by 1000:1000 instead of 0:0. This uid/gid is not present on Flatcar images but would be assigned to the first created user. Due to contents of sysexts and /usr being readonly on Flatcar, the invalid permissions can’t be used to escalate privileges. (scripts#2266)
  • Equinix Metal: Fixed oem-cloudinit.service. The availability check now uses the https://metadata.platformequinix.com/metadata endpoint. (scripts#2222)

Changes since Stable 3815.2.5

Security fixes:

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed issue file generation from ‘/etc/issue.d’ (scripts#2018)
  • Fixed the handling of OEM update payloads in a Nebraska response with self-hosted packages (ue-rs#49)
  • Fixes kubevirt vm creation by ensuring that /dev/vhost-net exists (Flatcar#1336)
  • Hetzner: Fixed duplicated prefix in the Afterburn metadata (scripts#2141)
  • Removed custom CloudSigma coreos-cloudinit service configuration since it will be called with the cloudsigma oem anyway. The restart of the service can also cause the serial port to be stuck in an nondeterministic state which breaks future runs.
  • Resolved kmod static nodes creation in bootengine (bootengine#85)

Changes:

  • Added zram-generator package to the image (scripts#1772)
  • A new format qemu_uefi_secure is introduced to test Flatcar for SecureBoot-enabled features. The format will be later merged into qemu_uefi.
  • Added Intel igc driver to support I225/I226 family NICs. (flatcar/scripts#1786)
  • Added Hetzner images (flatcar/scripts#1880)
  • Added Hyper-V VHDX image (flatcar/scripts#1791)
  • Added Ignition Clevis support for encrypted disks unlocked with a TPM2 device or a Tang server (scripts#1560)
  • Added KubeVirt qcow2 image for amd64/arm64 (flatcar/scripts#1962)
  • Added Scaleway images (flatcar/scripts#1683)
  • Added support for unlocking the rootfs with a TPM set up by systemd-cryptenroll (bootengine#93)
  • Backported systemd-sysext mutable overlays functionality from yet-unreleased systemd v256. (flatcar/scripts#1753)
  • Enabled amd-pstate,amd-pstate-epp cpufreq drivers for some AMD CPUs in the kernel. (flatcar/scripts#1770)
  • Enabled ntpd by default on AWS & GCP, enabled chronyd by default on Azure. The native time sync source is used on each cloud. (scripts#1792)
  • Enabled the GRUB TPM2 module to measure the boot code path and files into PCR 8+9 in UEFI (scripts#1861)
  • Enabled the ptp_vmw module in the kernel.
  • Hetzner: Added COREOS_HETZNER_PRIVATE_IPV4_0 Afterburn attribute for Hetzner private IPs (scripts#2141)
  • Hyper-V images, both .vhd and .vhdx files are available as zip compressed, switching from bzip2 to a built-in available Windows compression - zip (scripts#1878)
  • OpenStack, Brightbox: Added the flatcar.autologin kernel cmdline parameter by default as the hypervisor manages access to the console (scripts#1866)
  • Provided a Podman Flatcar extension as optional systemd-sysext image with the release. Write ‘podman’ to /etc/flatcar/enabled-sysext.conf through Ignition and the sysext will be installed during provisioning (scripts#1964)
  • OpenStack: Changed metadata hostname source order. The service first tries with the config drive then fallback on the metadata service. (bootengine#96)
  • Provided a ZFS-2.2.2 Flatcar extension as optional systemd-sysext image with the release. Write ‘zfs’ to /etc/flatcar/enabled-sysext.conf through Ignition and the sysext will be installed during provisioning. ZFS support is experimental and ZFS is not supported for the root partition. (flatcar/scripts#1742)
  • Removed Linux drivers for Mellanox Technologies Switch ASICs family and Spectrum/Spectrum-2/Spectrum-3/Spectrum-4 Ethernet Switch ASICs to reduce the initrd size on AMD64 by ~5MB (flatcar/scripts#1734). This change is part of the effort to reduce the initrd size (Flatcar#1381).
  • Removed actool from the image and acbuild from the SDK as these tools are deprecated and not used (scripts#1817)
  • Scaleway: images are now provided directly as .qcow2 to ease the import on Scaleway (scripts#1953)
  • Switched ptp_kvm from kernel builtin to module.
  • The default VM memory was bumped to 2 GB in the Qemu script and for VMware OVFs
  • Update generation SLSA provenance info from v0.2 to v1.0.
  • Removed coreos-cloudinit support for automatic keys conversion (e.g reboot-strategy -> reboot_strategy) (scripts#1687)

  • Fixed toolbox to prevent mounted ctr snapshots from being garbage-collected (toolbox#9)

Changes:

  • Forwarded the proxy environment variables of update-engine.service to the postinstall script to support fetching OEM systemd-sysext payloads through a proxy (Flatcar#1326)
  • Set TTY used for fetching server_context to RAW mode before running cloudinit on cloudsigma (scripts#1280)

Changes:

  • torcx was replaced by systemd-sysext in the OS image. Learn more about sysext and how to customise OS images here. (which is now also a legacy option because systemd-sysext offers a more robust and better structured way of customisation, including OS independent updates).
  • NOTE: The docker btrfs storage driver has been de-prioritised; BTRFS backed storage will now default to the overlay2 driver (changelog, upstream pr).
  • NOTE: If you are already using btrfs-backed Docker storage and are upgrading to this new version, Docker will automatically use the btrfs storage driver for backwards-compatibility with your deployment.
  • Docker will remove the btrfs driver entirely in a future version. Please consider migrating your deployments to the overlay2 driver. Using the btrfs driver can still be enforced by creating a respective docker config at /etc/docker/daemon.json.
  • cri-tools, runc, containerd, docker, and docker-cli are now built from Gentoo upstream ebuilds. Docker received a major version upgrade - it was updated to Docker 24 (from Docker 20; see “updates”).
  • GCP OEM images now use a systemd-sysext image for layering additional platform-specific software on top of /usr and being part of the OEM A/B updates (flatcar#1146)
  • Added a flatcar-update --oem-payloads <yes|no> flag to skip providing OEM payloads, e.g., for downgrades (init#114)

Bug fixes

  • AWS: Fixed the Amazon SSM agent that was crashing. (Flatcar#1307)
  • Added AWS EKS support for versions 1.24-1.28. Fixed /usr/share/amazon/eks/download-kubelet.sh to include download paths for these versions. (scripts#1210)
  • Fix the RemainAfterExit clause in nvidia.service (Flatcar#1169)
  • Fixed a bug resulting in coreos-cloudinit resetting the instance hostname to ‘localhost’ if no metadata could be found (coreos-cloudinit#25, Flatcar#1262), with contributions from MichaelEischer
  • Fixed bug in handling renamed network interfaces when generating login issue (init#102)
  • Fixed iterating over the OEM update payload signatures which prevented the AWS OEM update to 3745.x.y (update-engine#31)
  • Fixed quotes handling for update-engine (Flatcar#1209)
  • Fixed supplying extension update payloads with a custom base URL in Nebraska (Flatcar#1281)
  • Fixed the missing /etc/extensions/ symlinks for the inbuilt Docker/containerd systemd-sysext images on update from Beta 3760.1.0 (update_engine#32)
  • Fixed the postinstall hook failure when updating from Azure instances without OEM systemd-sysext images to Flatcar Alpha 3745.x.y (update_engine#29)
  • GCP: Fixed OS Login enabling (scripts#1445)
  • Made sshkeys.service more robust to only run [email protected] when not masked and also retry on failure (init#112)

Changes

  • :warning: Dropped support for niftycloud and interoute. For interoute we haven’t been generating the images for some time already. (scripts#971) :warning:
  • AWS OEM images now use a systemd-sysext image for layering additional platform-specific software on top of /usr
  • Added TLS Kernel module (scripts#865)
  • Added support for multipart MIME userdata in coreos-cloudinit. Ignition now detects multipart userdata and delegates execution to coreos-cloudinit. (scripts#873)
  • Azure and QEMU OEM images now use systemd-sysext images for layering additional platform-specific software on top of /usr. For Azure images this also means that the image has a normal Python installation available through the sysext image. The OEM software is still not updated but this will be added soon.
  • Change nvidia.service to type oneshot (from the default “simple”) so the subsequent services (configured with “Requires/After”) are executed after the driver installation is successfully finished (flatcar/Flatcar#1136)
  • Enabled the virtio GPU driver (scripts#830)
  • Migrate to Type=notify in containerd.service. Changed the unit to Type=notify, utilizing the existing containerd support for sd_notify call after socket setup.
  • Migrated the NVIDIA installer from the Azure/AWS OEM partition to /usr to make it available on all platforms (scripts#932, Flatcar#1077)
  • Moved a mountpoint of the OEM partition from /usr/share/oem to /oem. /usr/share/oem became a symlink to /oem for backward compatibility. Despite the move, the initrd images providing files through /usr/share/oem should keep using /usr/share/oem. The move was done to enable activating the OEM sysext images that are placed in the OEM partition.
  • OEM vendor tools are now A/B updated if they are shipped as systemd-sysext images, the migration happens when both partitions require a systemd-sysext OEM image - note that this will delete the nvidia.service from /etc on Azure because it’s now part of /usr (Flatcar#60)
  • Reworked the VMware OEM software to be shipped as A/B updated systemd-sysext image
  • SDK: Experimental support for prefix builds to create distro independent, portable, self-contained applications w/ all dependencies included. With contributions from chewi and HappyTobi.
  • Started shipping default ssh client and ssh daemon configs in /etc/ssh/ssh_config and /etc/ssh/sshd_config which include config snippets in /etc/ssh/ssh_config.d and /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d, respectively.
  • The open-vm-tools package in VMware OEM now comes with vmhgfs-fuse, udev rules, pam and vgauth
  • Updated locksmith to use non-deprecated resource control options in the systemd unit (Locksmith#20)

  • Worked around a bash regression in flatcar-install and added error reporting for disk write failures (Flatcar#1059)

Changes:

  • Added pigz to the image, a parallel gzip implementation, which is useful to speed up the (de)compression for large container image imports/exports (coreos-overlay#2504)
  • Added a new flatcar-reset tool and boot logic for selective OS resets to reconfigure the system with Ignition while avoiding config drift (bootengine#55, init#91)
  • Enabled elfutils support in systemd-coredump. A backtrace will now appear in the journal for any program that dumps core (coreos-overlay#2489)
  • Improved the OS reset tool to offer preview, backup and restore (init#94)
  • On boot any files in /etc that are the same as provided by the booted /usr/share/flatcar/etc default for the overlay mount on /etc are deleted to ensure that future updates of /usr/share/flatcar/etc are propagated - to opt out create /etc/.no-dup-update in case you want to keep an unmodified config file as is or because you fear that a future Flatcar version may use the same file as you at which point your copy is cleaned up and any other future Flatcar changes would be applied (bootengine#54)
  • Switched systemd log reporting to the combined format of both unit description, as before, and now the unit name to easily find the unit (coreos-overlay#2436)
  • /etc is now set up as overlayfs with the original /etc folder being the store for changed files/directories and /usr/share/flatcar/etc providing the lower default directory tree (bootengine#53, scripts#666)
  • Changed coreos-cloudinit to now set the short hostname instead of the FQDN when fetched from the metadata service (coreos-cloudinit#19)
  • Use qcow2 compressed format instead of additional compression layer in Qemu images (Flatcar#1135, scripts#1132)

Bug fixes:

  • Added back Ignition support for Vagrant (coreos-overlay#2351)
  • Added support for hardware security keys in update-ssh-keys (update-ssh-keys#7)
  • Enabled IOMMU on arm64 kernels, the lack of which prevented some systems from booting (coreos-overlay#2235)
  • Fixed a regression (in Alpha/Beta) where machines failed to boot if they didn’t have the core user or group in /etc/passwd or /etc/group (baselayout#26)
  • Fix “ext4 deadlock under heavy I/O load” kernel issue. The patch for this is included provisionally while we wait for it to be merged upstream (Flatcar#847, coreos-overlay#2315)
  • Restored the support to specify OEM partition files in Ignition when /usr/share/oem is given as initrd mount point (bootengine#58)
  • The rootfs setup in the initrd now runs systemd-tmpfiles on every boot, not only when Ignition runs, to fix a dbus failure due to missing files (Flatcar#944)

Changes:

  • Added CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_BRIDGE (for nf_conntrack_bridge) and CONFIG_NFT_BRIDGE_META (for nft_meta_bridge) to the kernel config to allow using conntrack rules for bridges in nftables and to match on bridge interface names (coreos-overlay#2207)
  • Added new image signing pub key to flatcar-install, needed for download verification of releases built from July 2023 onwards, if you have copies of flatcar-install or the image signing pub key, you need to update them as well (init#92)
  • Change CONFIG_WIREGUARD kernel option to module to save space on boot partition (coreos-overlay#2239)
  • Disable several arch specific arm64 kernel config options for unsupported platforms to save space on boot partition (coreos-overlay#2239)
  • Specifying the OEM filesystem in Ignition to write files to /usr/share/oem is not needed anymore (bootengine#58)
  • Switched from --strip-unneeded to --strip-debug when installing kernel modules, which makes kernel stacktraces more accurate and makes debugging issues easier (coreos-overlay#2196)
  • The flatcar-update tool got two new flags to customize ports used on the host while updating flatcar (init#81)
  • Toolbox now uses containerd to download and mount the image (toolbox#7)

  • Enabled containerd.service unit, br_netfilter and overlay modules by default to follow Kubernetes requirements (coreos-overlay#1944, init#72)

Updates:

Changes compared to Stable 3139.2.3

Security fixes:

Bug fixes:

  • Added networkd translation to files section when converting from Ignition 2.x to Ignition 3.x (coreos-overlay#1910, flatcar#741)
  • Added a remount action as systemd-sysext.service drop-in unit to restore the OEM partition mount after the overlay mounts in /usr are done (init#69)
  • Fixed Ignition’s OEM ID to be metal to follow the Ignition upstream change which otherwise resulted in a broken boot when the Flatcar OEM ID pxe was used (bootengine#45)
  • Made Ignition write the SSH keys into a file under authorized_keys.d/ignition again and added a call to update-ssh-keys after Ignition ran to create the merged authorized_keys file, which fixes the problem that keys added by Ignition get lost when update-ssh-keys runs (init#66)
  • Skipped starting ensure-sysext.service if systemd-sysext.service won’t be started, to prevent reporting a dependency failure (Flatcar#710)
  • The Ignition v3 kargs directive failed before when used with the generic image where no grub.cfg exists, this was fixed by creating it first (bootengine#47)

Changes:

  • Added auditd.service but left it disabled by default, a custom configuration can be created by removing /etc/audit/auditd.conf and replacing it with an own file (coreos-overlay#1636)
  • Added cryptsetup to the initramfs for the Ignition luks directive (flatcar-linux/coreos-overlay#1760)
  • Besides Ignition v1 and v2 configurations, Ignition configurations with specification v3 (up to 3.3.0) are now supported, see the docs section for details
  • Bring in dependencies for NFS4 with Kerberos both in kernel and userspace. Tested against NFS4.1 server. coreos-overlay#1664
  • Enabled CONFIG_INTEL_RAPL on AMD64 Kernel config to compile intel_rapl_common module in order to allow power monitoring on modern Intel processors (coreos-overlay#1801)
  • Enabled containerd.service unit, br_netfilter and overlay modules by default to follow Kubernetes requirements (coreos-overlay#1944, init#72)
  • Enabled systemd-sysext.service to activate systemd-sysext images on boot, to disable you will need to mask it. Also added a helper service ensure-sysext.service which reloads the systemd units to reevaluate the sockets, timers, and multi-user targets when systemd-sysext.service is (re)started, making it possible to enable units that are part of a sysext image (init#65)
  • For amd64 /usr/lib used to be a symlink to /usr/lib64 but now they became two separate folders as common in other distributions (and was the case for arm64 already). Compatibility symlinks exist in case /usr/lib64 was used to access, e.g., the modules folder or the systemd folder (coreos-overlay#1713, scripts#255)
  • Made SELinux enabled by default in default containerd configuration file. (coreos-overlay#1699)
  • Removed rngd.service because it is not essential anymore for the kernel to boot fast in VM environments (coreos-overlay#1700)
  • The systemd-networkd ManageForeignRoutes and ManageForeignRoutingPolicyRules settings are now disabled through a drop-in file and thus can only be enabled again by a drop-in file under /etc/systemd/networkd.conf.d/ because drop-in files take precedence over /etc/systemd/networkd.conf (init#61)
  • Azure VHD disks are now created using subformat=fixed, which makes them suitable for immediate upload to Azure using any tool.
  • Defined a systemd-sysext level that sysext images can match for instead of the OS version when they don’t have a strong coupling, meaning the only metadata required is SYSEXT_LEVEL=1.0 and ID=flatcar (Flatcar#643)
  • ARM64: Added cifs-utils for ARM64
  • ARM64: Added sssd, adcli and realmd for ARM64
  • AWS EC2: Removed the setup of /etc/hostname from the instance metadata because it used a long FQDN but we can just use use the hostname set via DHCP (Flatcar#707)
  • Azure: Set up /etc/hostname from instance metadata with Afterburn
  • DigitalOcean: In addition to the bz2 image, a gz compressed image is published. This helps against hitting the compression timeout that sometimes lets the image import fail.
  • OpenStack: In addition to the bz2 image, a gz compressed image is published. This allows Glance to directly consume the images by simply passing in the URL of the image.
  • SDK: The image compression format is now configurable. Supported formats are: bz2, gz, zip, none, zst. Selecting the image format can now be done by passing the --image_compression_formats option. This flag gets a comma separated list of formats.
  • SDK / ARM64: Added go-tspi bindings for ARM64

Security fixes:

Bug fixes:

  • Excluded the Kubenet cbr0 interface from networkd’s DHCP config and set it to Unmanaged to prevent interference and ensure that it is not part of the network online check (init#55)
  • Fixed the dracut emergency Ignition log printing that had a scripting error causing the cat command to fail (bootengine#33)
  • network: Accept ICMPv6 Router Advertisements to fix IPv6 address assignment in the default DHCP setting (init#51, coreos-cloudinit#12, bootengine#30)
  • flatcar-update: Stopped checking for the USER environment variable which may not be set in all environments, causing the script to fail unless a workaround was used like prepending an additional sudo invocation (init#58)
  • Reverted the Linux kernel commit which broke networking on AWS instances which use Intel 82559 NIC (c4/m4) (Flatcar#665, coreos-overlay#1723)
  • Re-added the brd drbd nbd rbd xen-blkfront zram libarc4 lru_cache zsmalloc kernel modules to the initramfs since they were missing compared to the Flatcar 3033.2.x releases where the 5.10 kernel is used (bootengine#40)

Changes:

  • Added a new flatcar-update tool to the image to ease manual updates, rollbacks, channel/release jumping, and airgapped updates (init#53)
  • Update-engine now creates the /run/reboot-required flag file for kured (update_engine#15)
  • Excluded special network interface devices like bridge, tunnel, vxlan, and veth devices from the default DHCP configuration to prevent networkd interference (init#56)
  • Added CONFIG_NF_CT_NETLINK_HELPER (for libnetfilter_cthelper), CONFIG_NET_VRF (for virtual routing and forwarding) and CONFIG_KEY_DH_OPERATIONS (for keyutils) to the kernel config (coreos-overlay#1524)
  • Enabled the FIPS support for the Linux kernel, which users can now choose through a kernel parameter in grub.cfg (check it taking effect with cat /proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled) (coreos-overlay#1602)
  • Enabled FIPS mode for cryptsetup (portage-stable#312)
  • Rework the way we set up the default python intepreter in SDK - it is now without specifying a version. This should work fine as long as we keep having one version of python in SDK.
  • Add a way to remove packages that are hard-blockers for update. A hard-blocker means that the package needs to be removed (for example with emerge -C) before an update can happen.
  • Removed the pre-shipped /etc/flatcar/update.conf file, leaving it totally to the user to define the contents as it was unnecessarily overwriting the /use/share/flatcar/update.conf (scripts#212)

  • The Torcx profile docker-1.12-no got fixed to reference the current Docker version instead of 19.03 which wasn’t found on the image, causing Torcx to fail to provide Docker (PR#1456)

Changes

  • Added GPIO support (coreos-overlay#1236)
  • Enabled SELinux in permissive mode on ARM64 (coreos-overlay#1245)
  • The iptables command uses the nftables kernel backend instead of the iptables backend, you can also migrate to using the nft tool instead of iptables. Containers with iptables binaries that use the iptables backend will result in mixing both kernel backends which is supported but you have to look up the rules separately (on the host you can use the iptables-legacy and friends).

Bug Fixes:

Changes

  • Docker: disabled SELinux support in the Docker daemon
  • The pam_faillock PAM module was enabled as replacement for the removed pam_tally2 module and will temporarily lock an account if there were login attempts with a wrong password. The faillock command can be used to show the current state. With pam_tally2 there was no limit for wrong password login attempts but with faillock the default is already restricting the attempts. The default behavior was relaxed to allow 5 wrong passwords per two minutes, and a one minute account lock time. This does not apply to logins with an SSH key. (baselayout#17)
  • The etcd and flannel services are now run with Docker and any rkt-based customizations of the etcd-member and flanneld services not supported anymore. Also, because the flanneld service relies on Docker and will restart Docker after applying the new configuration, it is not possible anymore to set Requires=flanneld.service for docker.service and instead it’s enough to have flanneld.service enabled. (coreos-overlay#857)
  • toolbox: replace rkt with docker (coreos-overlay#881)
  • flatcar-install: add parameters to make wget more resilient (init#35)
  • flatcar-install: Add -D flag to only download the image file (Flatcar#248)
  • flatcar-install: Detect device mapper (e.g., LVM/LUKS) usage when searching for free drives with the -s flag (Flatcar#332)
  • motd: Add OEM information to motd output (init#34)
  • open-iscsi: Command substitution in iscsi-init system service (coreos-overlay#801)
  • sshd: use secure crypto algos only (kinvolk/coreos-overlay#852)
  • kernel: enable kernel config CONFIG_BPF_LSM (kinvolk/coreos-overlay#846)
  • bootengine: set hostname for EC2 and OpenStack from metadata (kinvolk/coreos-overlay#848)
  • Make the hostname setting units optional. Having the hostname units as required by the initrd.target meant that if the unit failed the machine wouldn’t start, disrupting the whole boot. (bootengine#23)
  • Enable using iSCSI netroot devices on Flatcar (bootengine#22)
  • systemd-networkd: Do not manage loopback network interface (bootengine#24 init#40)
  • containerd: Removed the containerd-stress binary (coreos-overlay#858)
  • dhcpcd: Removed the dhcpcd binary from the image, systemd-networkd is the only DHCP client (coreos-overlay#858)
  • samba: Update to EAPI=7, add new USE flags and remove deps on icu (kinvolk/coreos-overlay#864)
  • GCE: The oem-gce.service was ported to use systemd-nspawn instead of rkt. A one-time action is required to fetch the new service file because the OEM partition is not updated: sudo curl -s -S -f -L -o /etc/systemd/system/oem-gce.service https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kinvolk/coreos-overlay/fe7b0047ef5b634ebe04c9627bbf1ce3008ee5fa/coreos-base/oem-gce/files/units/oem-gce.service && sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl restart oem-gce.service
  • SDK: update portage and related packages to newer versions (coreos-overlay#840)
  • SDK: Drop jobs parameter in flatcar-scripts (flatcar-scripts#121)
  • SDK: delete Go 1.6 (coreos-overlay#827)
  • Update sys-apps/coreutils and make sure they have split-usr disabled for generic images (coreos-overlay#829)
  • systemd: Fix unit installation (coreos-overlay#810)

Bug fixes

  • Update-engine sent empty requests when restarted before a pending reboot (Flatcar#388)
  • motd login prompt list of failed services: The output of “systemctl list-units –state=failed –no-legend” contains a bullet point which is not expected and ended up being taken as the unit name of failed units which was previously on the start of the line. Filtered the bullet point out to stay compatible with the old behavior in case upstream would remove the bullet point again. (coreos-overlay#1042)

Bug Fixes

  • GCE: The old interface name ens4v1 which was replaced by eth0 due to a broken udev rule was restored, but now as alternative interface name, and eth0 will stay the primary name for consistency across cloud environments. (init#38)

Changes

  • The virtio network interfaces got predictable interface names as alternative interface names, and thus these names can also be used to match for a specific interface in case there is more than one and the eth0 and eth1 name assignment is not stable. (init#38)

Security fixes:

Bug fixes

  • Added systemd-tmpfiles directives for /opt and /opt/bin to ensure that the folders have correct permissions even when /opt/ was once created by containerd (Flatcar#279)
  • Make the automatic filesystem resizing more robust against a race and add more logging (kinvolk/init#31)
  • Allow inactive network interfaces to be bound to a bonding interface, by encoding additional configuration for systemd-networkd-wait-online (afterburn PR #10)
  • Do not configure ccache in Jenkins (scripts PR #100)
  • Azure: Exclude bonded SR-IOV network interfaces with newer drivers from networkd (in addition to the old drivers) to prevent them being configured instead of just the bond interface (init PR#29, bootengine PR#19)

Changes:

  • Update-engine now detects rollbacks and reports them as errors to the update server (PR#6)
  • The zstd tools were added (version 1.4.4)
  • The kernel config CONFIG_PSI was set to support Pressure Stall Information, more information also under https://facebookmicrosites.github.io/psi/docs/overview (Flatcar#162)
  • The kernel config CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON was set to use the BPF just-in-time compiler by default for faster execution
  • The kernel config CONFIG_POWER_SUPPLY was set
  • The kernel configs CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS_METACOPY and CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS_REDIRECT_DIR were set. With the first overlayfs will only copy up metadata when a metadata-specific operation like chown/chmod is performed. The full file will be copied up later when the file is opened for write operations. With the second, which is equivalent to setting “redirect_dir=on” in the kernel command-line, overlayfs will copy up the directory first before the actual content (Flatcar#170).
  • Remove unnecessary kernel module nf-conntrack-ipv4 (overlay PR#649)
  • Compress kernel modules with xz (overlay PR#628)
  • Add containerd-runc-shim-v* binaries required by kubelet custom CRI endpoints (overlay PR#623)
  • Equinix Metal (Packet): Exclude unused network interfaces from networkd, disregard the state of the bonded interfaces for the network-online.target and only require the bond interface itself to have at least one active link instead of routable which requires both links to be active (afterburn PR#10)
  • QEMU: Use flatcar.autologin kernel command line parameter for auto login on the console (Flatcar #71)

Changes:

  • The sysctl default config file is now applied under the prefix 60 which allows for custom sysctl config files to take effect when they start with a prefix of 70, 80, or 90 (baselayout#13)
  • Containerd CRI plugin got enabled by default, only the containerd socket path needs to be specified as kubelet parameter for Kubernetes 1.20 to use containerd instead of Docker (Flatcar#283)

systemd - 255

Changes since Beta 4081.1.0

Security fixes:

Changes:

  • Kernel lockdown in integrity mode is now enabled when secure boot is enabled. This prevents loading unsigned kernel modules and matches the behavior of all major distros. (scripts#2299)
  • The /usr/sbin directory is now merged into /usr/bin, so the former became a symlink to the latter. The SDK now has the same base layout as the generic images. (flatcar/scripts#2068)
  • Disable CONFIG_NFS_V4_2_READ_PLUS kernel config to fix nfs-ganesha (flatcar/scripts#2390)

Changes since Beta 4054.1.0

Security fixes:

Bug fixes:

  • CloudSigma: Disabled the new DHCP RapidCommit feature which is enabled by default since systemd 255. CloudSigma provides an incompatible implementation which results in cloud-init not being applied as no IP is issued. See: (flatcar/scripts#2016)
  • Fixed the initrd option in the QEMU launcher script. It was -R, but this was already taken by the read-only pflash option, so use -r instead. (scripts#2239)
  • Equinix Metal: fixed race condition on ‘mount’ Ignition stage (scripts#2308)
  • Fixed slow boots PXE and ISO boots caused by the decrypt-root.service. (Flatcar#1514)

Changes:

  • Azure, HyperV: Added daemons kvp, vss, and fcopy for better HyperV hypervisor integration with Flatcar guests (scripts#2309).
  • Enable mpi3mr kernel module for Broadcom Storage/RAID-Controllers (flatcar/scripts#2355)
  • Replace nmap netcat with openbsd variant. The license didn’t get an exception from CNCF. Something about the definition of “derivative works” being too broad.
  • The docker build command will now use buildx as its backend as the old one became deprecated and a loud “DEPRECATED” information is printed every time it’s used.

Changes since Beta 4012.1.0

Security fixes:

Bug fixes:

  • Fix ownership of systemd units shipped with built-in docker/containerd sysexts. The files shipped on production images were accidentally owned by 1000:1000 instead of 0:0. This uid/gid is not present on Flatcar images but would be assigned to the first created user. Due to contents of sysexts and /usr being readonly on Flatcar, the invalid permissions can’t be used to escalate privileges. (scripts#2266)
  • Fixed bad usage of gpg that prevented flatcar-install from being used with custom signing keys (Flatcar#1471)
  • Equinix Metal: Fixed oem-cloudinit.service. The availability check now uses the https://metadata.platformequinix.com/metadata endpoint. (scripts#2222)

Changes:

  • As part of the update to Catalyst 4 (used to build the SDK), the coreos package repository has been renamed to coreos-overlay to match its directory name. This will be reflected in package listings and package manager output. (flatcar/scripts#2115)
  • The kernel security module Landlock is now enabled for programs to sandbox themselves (flatcar/scripts#2158)

Changes since Beta 3874.1.0

Security fixes:

Bug fixes:

  • Disabled user-configdrive.service on OpenStack when config drive is used, which caused the hostname to be overwritten. The coreos-cloudinit.service unit already runs on OpenStack if the system is not configured via ignition. (Flatcar#1385)
  • Fixed toolbox to prevent mounted ctr snapshots from being garbage-collected (toolbox#9)
  • Removed custom CloudSigma coreos-cloudinit service configuration since it will be called with the cloudsigma oem anyway. The restart of the service can also cause the serial port to be stuck in an nondeterministic state which breaks future runs.

Changes:

  • A new format qemu_uefi_secure is introduced to test Flatcar for SecureBoot-enabled features. The format will be later merged into qemu_uefi.
  • Added Ignition Clevis support for encrypted disks unlocked with a TPM2 device or a Tang server (scripts#1560)
  • Added Scaleway images (flatcar/scripts#1683)
  • Added support for unlocking the rootfs with a TPM set up by systemd-cryptenroll (bootengine#93)
  • Disabled real-time priority for multipathd as it prevents the cgroups2 cpu controller from working. (flatcar/scripts#1771)
  • Enabled the GRUB TPM2 module to measure the boot code path and files into PCR 8+9 in UEFI (scripts#1861)
  • Provided a ZFS-2.2.2 Flatcar extension as optional systemd-sysext image with the release. Write ‘zfs’ to /etc/flatcar/enabled-sysext.conf through Ignition and the sysext will be installed during provisioning. ZFS support is experimental and ZFS is not supported for the root partition. (flatcar/scripts#1742)
  • Removed Linux drivers for Mellanox Technologies Switch ASICs family and Spectrum/Spectrum-2/Spectrum-3/Spectrum-4 Ethernet Switch ASICs to reduce the initrd size on AMD64 by ~5MB (flatcar/scripts#1734). This change is part of the effort to reduce the initrd size (flatcar#1381).
  • Removed coreos-cloudinit support for automatic keys conversion (e.g reboot-strategy -> reboot_strategy) (scripts#1687)
  • SDK: Unified qemu image formats, so that the qemu_uefi build target provides the regular qemu and the qemu_uefi_secure artifacts (scripts#1847)

Updates:

Changes since Alpha 3913.0.0

Security fixes:

  • Downgraded xz-utils to 5.4.2 as precaution even though Flatcar is not affected of the SSH backdoor (CVE-2024-3094)

  • Fixed supplying extension update payloads with a custom base URL in Nebraska (Flatcar#1281)
  • Set TTY used for fetching server_context to RAW mode before running cloudinit on cloudsigma (scripts#1280)

Changes:

  • Torcx, the mechanism to provide a custom Docker version, was replaced by systemd-sysext in the OS image. Learn more about sysext and how to customise OS images here and read the blogpost about the replacement here.
    • Torcx entered deprecation 2 years ago in favour of deploying plain Docker binaries (which is now also a legacy option because systemd-sysext offers a more robust and better structured way of customisation, including OS independent updates).
    • Torcx has been removed entirely; if you use Torcx to extend the Flatcar base OS image, please refer to our conversion script and to the sysext documentation mentioned above for migrating.
    • Consequently, update_engine will not perform torcx sanity checks post-update anymore.
    • Relevant changes: scripts#1216, update_engine#30, Mantle#466, Mantle#465.
  • cri-tools, runc, containerd, docker, and docker-cli are now built from Gentoo upstream ebuilds. Docker received a major version upgrade - it was updated to Docker 24 (from Docker 20; see “updates”).
    • NOTE: The docker btrfs storage driver has been de-prioritised; BTRFS backed storage will now default to the overlay2 driver (changelog, upstream pr). Using the btrfs driver can still be enforced by creating a respective docker config at /etc/docker/daemon.json.
    • NOTE: If you are already using btrfs-backed Docker storage and are upgrading to this new version, Docker will automatically use the btrfs storage driver for backwards-compatibility with your deployment.
      • Docker will remove the btrfs driver entirely in a future version. Please consider migrating your deployments to the overlay2 driver.
  • GCP OEM images now use a systemd-sysext image for layering additional platform-specific software on top of /usr and being part of the OEM A/B updates (flatcar#1146)

  • Fixed quotes handling for update-engine (Flatcar#1209)
  • Made sshkeys.service more robust to only run [email protected] when not masked and also retry on failure (init#112)

Changes:

  • Brightbox: The regular OpenStack image should now be used, it includes Afterburn for instance metadata attributes
  • OpenStack: An uncompressed image is provided for simpler import (since the images use qcow2 inline compression, there is no benefit in using the .gz or .bz2 images)
