Changelog (nightly branch)

Note: Breaking changes between versions are indicated by "💥".

• [Bugfix] Start MongoDB when running migrations, because a new data migration fails if MongoDB is not running
• [Feature] Better support of Caddy as a load balancer in Kubernetes:
  • Make it possible to start/stop a selection of resources with tutor k8s start/stop [names...].
  • Make it easy to deploy an independent LoadBalancer by converting the caddy service to a ClusterIP when ENABLE_WEB_PROXY=false.
  • Add a app.kubernetes.io/component: loadbalancer label to the LoadBalancer service.
  • Add app.kubernetes.io/name labels to all services.
  • Preserve the LoadBalancer service in tutor k8s stop commands.
  • Wait for the caddy deployment to be ready before running initialisation jobs.
• [Security] On Kubernetes, convert all NodePort services to ClusterIP to guarantee network isolation from outside the cluster.
• 💥[Improvement] Drop Python 3.5 compatibility.
• [Bugfix] Fix docker-compose project name in development on nightly branch.
• 💥[Bugfix] No longer track the Tutor version number in resource labels (and label selectors, which breaks the update of Deployment resources), but instead do so in resource annotations.
• [Bugfix] Make it possible for plugins to implement the "caddyfile" patch without relying on the "port" local variable.
• 💥[Improvement] Move the Open edX forum to a dedicated plugin (#450).
• 💥[Improvement] Get rid of the "tutor-openedx" package, which is no longer supported.
• [Bugfix] Fix running Caddy container in k8s, which should always be the case even if ENABLE_WEB_PROXY is false.
• 💥[Improvement] Run all services as unprivileged containers, for better security. This has multiple consequences:
  • The "openedx-dev" image is now built with tutor dev dc build lms.
  • The "smtp" service now runs the "devture/exim-relay" Docker image, which is unprivileged. Also, the default SMTP port is now 8025.
• 💥[Feature] Get rid of the nginx container and service, which is now replaced by Caddy. this has the following consequences:
  • Patches "nginx-cms", "nginx-lms", "nginx-extra", "local-docker-compose-nginx-aliases" are replaced by "caddyfile-cms", "caddyfile-lms", "caddyfile", " local-docker-compose-caddy-aliases".
  • Patches "k8s-deployments-nginx-volume-mounts", "k8s-deployments-nginx-volumes" were obsolete and are removed.
  • The NGINX_HTTP_PORT setting is renamed to CADDY_HTTP_PORT.
