  • GitLab hosts managed by the Flying Circus stay pinned on the previous platform release

  • to avoid breakage and allow time for fixing, these machines are not upgraded automatically

NixOS 24.11 platform

  • Additional Redis servers configured with services.redis.servers now get Sensu checks and their metrics are scraped by Telegraf.

This is not possible if a server doesn't have a TCP listener and its UNIX socket isn't readable & writable by its owning group. For each server like that, a warning will be printed.

  • The option services.telegraf.environmentVariablesFromFile was introduced which allows substituting variables inside the Telegraf config with the content of a file.

  • fix some configuration options for the loki role (PL-133581)

  • Fix fs-check script by restoring old use of fc-directory cli (PL-133676)

  • The GitLab role requires an active Redis role on the same machine.

  • gitlab: generate ActiveRecord encryption secrets

  • agent: fix accidental immediate reboots on machines that use specialisations. (PL-133685)

  • Removed a PHP test which checked for an issue that has been resolved for some time now (PL-133352)
