✨ Improvements

  • Show sources in config string by @jimmykarily in kairos-io/kairos-agent#550
    • Now when checking the configs you will see the sources uses to generate them
  • Expose the Analize method of kairos-agent run-stage by @Itxaka in kairos-io/kairos-agent#548
    • now kairos-agent runstage can be run with the flag --analyze or -a to only show what steps would be run from a given stage and in the order they will be run.
  • Accept more paths to devices for install by @Itxaka in kairos-io/kairos-agent#552
    • Now the install target accepts devices identified by /dev/disk/by-{uuid,label,path,diskseq}

v3.1.3

Release highlights:

  • In the previous release, we introduced a fix for the broken permissions of the user's home directory. It turned out that the fix only applied to users created by the top level users: key in the Kairos configuration file. In this release, users created in various stages will also get their home directory permissions fixed. If for some reason, you don't want the script to recursively fix the home directory permissions, you can create a sentinel file to skip the fix and apply it on your own as you see fit.
  • Fixed an issue where we didn't calculate the upgrade image size and the always created an image with the default size (#2818)
  • Fixed an issue in Kairos upgrades through Kuberentes, where various host directories were also used in image size calculation (kairos-io/kairos-agent#537)
  • We now display the webui url below the QR code to avoid people having to plug a keyboard just to find the IP address of the node (#2826)
  • Fixed a bug in Alpine flavors where we passed the edgevpn arguments in the openrc service file wrongly (#2789)
  • Lots of version bumps on dependencies (mostly automated).

Known Issues

  • [Carry over from previous releases] RPi EFI booting no longer supported on kernels shipped with Ubuntu 24.04+ #2249

v3.1.1

Upgrade issues

Be advised that there is currently an issue when upgrading from 3.0.x to 3.1.x in which the user ids will change. This will result in any files owned by the user under its /home directory to lose permissions which can lead to not being able to ssh (ssh keys will have a different user id)

We are currently working on a workaround, so you are advised to not upgrade until 3.1.2 is released with a fix for this.

Potential Breaking Changes

By default, Uki artifacts (identified by the -uki suffix) no longer include Linux modules and firmware in the image. Real-world testing has shown that many EFI firmwares are very particular about the size of the EFI image, often refusing to boot if the file exceeds 300-400MB. Given the wide variety of EFI firmware implementations, predicting whether a UKI EFI file will boot on different hardware is challenging.

To enhance compatibility, we decided to slim down the UKI files by removing the largest components: the Linux modules and firmware packages. This results in EFI files around 200-300MB, which are much more likely to boot correctly across various EFI implementations.

However, this change comes with a trade-off. Smaller images, while being more compatible with a wide range of EFI firmwares, may lack comprehensive hardware support because they do not include all the Linux modules and firmware packages. This means that certain hardware components may not function correctly or optimally when using these slimmer UKI images.

On the other hand, larger UKI images, which include all necessary modules and firmware for extensive hardware support, provide better functionality and compatibility with a broad range of hardware. However, these larger images are more likely to encounter boot issues due to EFI firmware limitations, as many EFI implementations refuse to boot files larger than 300-400MB.

We publish -uki artifacts ourselves, which are the slimmed versions, as examples of how to build a slimmer UKI artifact. While these serve as a reference, we recommend always building your own custom images to tailor them to your specific hardware needs. If you need to include those packages for full hardware support, you can create a custom artifact to add them back, as detailed in the Kairos docs.

We recommend keeping your UKI EFI files as small as possible to maximize boot success across different EFI firmware implementations. While smaller images offer better compatibility, they may lack full hardware support. Conversely, larger images, which include all necessary modules and firmware, provide comprehensive hardware support but may fail to boot due to EFI firmware constraints.
