2.19.0

Important notice about the future of the project

Due to the lack of maintainers, the current development workflow is making development almost impossible. That’s why we’ve agreed that, starting with this release, reviews can be bypassed when a contribution is made by a maintainer. This will allow me to continue development and add features, but it also comes with an increased risk of introducing bugs into releases.

If you want to help to maintain the project, please let @allanger know, we will try to figure something out. Alternatively, it's possible to help financially via liberay, you can find more info in the "Sponsor this project" section of the repo

Important changes

Instance Variables

Starting with this release, it's possible to define variables on the instance level, that later can be used by the databases in templates.

kind: DbInstance
spec:
  instanceVars:
    TEST_KEY: TEST_VALUE

These variables can be also accessed by the Database/DbUser templates

...
    templates:
      - name: DB_INSTANCE_VAR
        secret: false
        template: "{{ .InstanceVar 'TEST_KEY' }}"
...

Then the secret that is created by the operator should contain the following entry: DB_INSTANCE_VAR: TEST_VALUE. When the value is changed on the instance level, it should also trigger reconciliation of the databases and hence the values should also be updated in the target secrets.

Just seeing the notice (thanks @dannysauer) and wanted to chime in here.

Have benefitted from this project for years across many orgs, so looking to help out both financially and via IC work (though my Golang is rusty at best 😅)

Thanks to all who have contributed thus far 🤘 this is critical infra as far as I'm concerned
