Onionprobe release 1.2.1

rhatto · November 27, 2024, 2:31pm

We just released Onionprobe 1.2.1, a tool for testing and monitoring the
status of Onion Services.

This release brings a few fixes and some improvements.

This release also requires a database migration for those using the monitoring node.

ChangeLog

The installation page updated to include a reference to
the new Onionprobe Ansible Role.
Standalone monitoring node:
- Added support for Podman and Podman Compose (tpo/onion-services/onionprobe#97).
  It can be enable by setting CONTAINER_RUNTIME=podman in the .env file.
  For backwards compatibility,
  Docker is still the default container runtime.
- New onionprobe-monitor script acting as a wrapper for interacting with
  the container runtime (tpo/onion-services/onionprobe#97).
  Given that Podman and Docker have a few differences, it made sense
  to create a thin wrapper around them, to handle things like Podman not
  honoring some Compose variables in .env files.

Updated the sample systemd service unit (tpo/onion-services/onionprobe!72).
Upgraded Prometheus image to 3.0.0.
PostgreSQL:
- Upgraded image to version 17.
  Please run the needed upgrading steps.
- Minor fixes at upgrade-postgresql-database.
Updated development procedure.
Improved verbosity for the Tor initialization log message.
