Changes since Beta 3510.1.0

Security fixes:

Bug fixes:

  • Ensured that /var/log/journal/ is created early enough for systemd-journald to persist the logs on first boot (bootengine#60, baselayout#29)
  • Fixed journalctl --user permission issue (Flatcar#989)
  • Restored the support to specify OEM partition files in Ignition when /usr/share/oem is given as initrd mount point (bootengine#58)

Changes:

  • 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)
  • 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)
  • 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)
  • Enabled elfutils support in systemd-coredump. A backtrace will now appear in the journal for any program that dumps core (coreos-overlay#2489)
  • /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)
  • 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)
  • Specifying the OEM filesystem in Ignition to write files to /usr/share/oem is not needed anymore (bootengine#58)
  • 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)
