Arkindex 1.8.3

A new Arkindex release is available.

To upgrade a development instance, follow this documentation.

To upgrade a production instance, you need to:

  • Deploy this release’s Docker image: registry.gitlab.teklia.com/arkindex/backend:1.8.3
  • Run the database migrations: docker exec ark-backend arkindex migrate
  • Update the system workers: docker exec ark-backend arkindex update_system_workers

The release notes for Arkindex 1.8.3 are available here.

The main changes impacting developers and system administrators are detailed below.

System worker for thumbnails

A new system worker has been added for the thumbnail generator, which is now executed after every file import, and it depends on a new artifact generated by the latest version of the file import. To configure your instance properly for these system workers, make sure to run the update_system_workers command:

docker exec ark-backend arkindex update_system_workers

You can view or update these system workers manually through the administration interface.

Django 5.2 upgrade

We have upgraded our Django dependency to 5.2. Developers should make sure to update their installed dependencies. This change does not affect system administrators.
