Service Updates for Liferay Cloud Version 3 and 4

The services update to 2020.31.1 includes updates to the liferay service.

Version Compatibility between 3 and 4

For details on service compatibility between version 3 and 4 please see release update 6/11/2020 Services Update 2020.24.1 or 5/28/2020 Services Update 2020. 22.1 

Default Webserver Properties

Back in 6/25/2020 Services Update 2020.26.1, we made the following webserver portal.properties the default within the portal-bundle.properties file:

web.server.host=webserver-{environment}.lfr.cloud
web.server.protocol=https
web.server.https.port=443

Since then, we found that these defaults had the potential to affect existing environments in certain use cases. As such, we decided to revert this change and instead leave setting these configurations up to the individual project.

Version 4 Update Instructions

Only Applicable to Version 4 Images

After upgrading your project using this guide, the Liferay Cloud image versions are no longer set inside of the gradle.properties file. They now need to set inside of the <service>/LCP.json file. Note, however, that the liferay service uses two image properties. The DXP Cloud image is set in the liferay/LCP.json file, but the liferay/dxp image is set in the gradle.properties. This change was made in order to facilitate easier deployment using the Liferay Cloud CLI.

liferay/LCP.json file would set the liferaycloud/liferay-dxp image:

"image":"liferaycloud/liferay-dxp:7.2-4.0.3"

liferay/gradle.properties file would set the liferay/dxp image:

liferay.workspace.docker.image.liferay=liferay/dxp:7.2.10-dxp-6-202006221121 

Once the LCP.json files are updated, commit the changes to your Git repository.

git add . && git commit -m "update dxp cloud stack to 2020.31.1"

After pushing these changes to the remote repository, a build will be created in Liferay Cloud and it is ready to deploy.

Once the gradle.properties file contains the updates, commit the changes to your Git repository.

git add gradle.properties && git commit -m "update dxp cloud stack to 2020.31.1"

After pushing these changes to the remote repository, a build will be created in Liferay Cloud and it is ready to deploy.
