Community: we hear you!
Several people have asked to please change the version schema on puppetserver-container and puppetdb-container.
Puppet Inc version schema
Prior the repositories have been handed over from Puppet Inc to Puppet Community, the container images were using the Puppet server and PuppetDB versions, which were used inside the container.
<puppet.major>.<puppet.minor>.<puppet.patch>
Example usage:
docker run --name puppet --hostname puppet puppetlabs-puppetserver:7.2.0
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| puppet.major | Describes the contained major Puppet version (7 or 8) |
| puppet.minor | Describes the contained minor Puppet version |
| puppet.patch | Describes the contained patchlevel Puppet version |
Initial voxpupuli version schema
The original version schema did not show if changes to the container image have been done.
At Voxpupuli it was decided to use a new version schema:
v<major>.<minor>.<patch>-<puppet release>
Example usage:
docker run --name puppet --hostname puppet ghcr.io/voxpupuli/container-puppetserver:v1.0.0-7
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| major | Describes the major version of the base container (Ubunutu 22.04) or incompatible changes |
| minor | Describes new features or refactoring with backward compatibility |
| patch | Describes if minor changes or bugfixes have been implemented |
| puppet release | Describes the contained major Puppet release (7 or 8) |
At Voxpupuli Crafty we had a discussion on how to improve the version schema.
Additionally we received feedback from customers, that they were unhappy with the new version schema as it was unclear, which exact Puppet version is inside the containers.
New version schema
The new version schema has the following layout:
<puppet.major>.<puppet.minor>.<puppet.patch>-v<container.major>.<container.minor>.<container.patch>
Example usage:
docker run --name puppet --hostname puppet ghcr.io/voxpupuli/container-puppetserver:7.13.0-v1.2.0
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| puppet.major | Describes the contained major Puppet version (7 or 8) |
| puppet.minor | Describes the contained minor Puppet version |
| puppet.patch | Describes the contained patchlevel Puppet version |
| container.major | Describes the major version of the base container (Ubunutu 22.04) or incompatible changes |
| container.minor | Describes new features or refactoring with backward compatibility |
| container.patch | Describes if minor changes or bugfixes have been implemented |
Many thanks to the community for the great feedback and ideas for improvement.
Happy hacking on Puppet in containers.
