Service Updates for Liferay Cloud Version 4

The services update to 2020.43.1 includes updates to the Backup, Liferay and Webserver services.

 

Liferay DXP 7.3 GA1 Support

We are committed to offering the very best. Liferay Cloud is proud to offer support for Liferay DXP 7.3 GA1 for new and existing projects.

liferay/dxp:7.3.10-ga1-d1.2.1-20201005160536

Please consider the impact of performing a major liferay upgrade before updating an existing project to use Liferay DXP 7.3 GA1. 

 

liferay/dxp docker image tags

In an ever evolving effort to provide the best support, the docker tags on liferay/dxp docker repository have changed. The new addition is a `-dx.y.z` designation (e.g. -d1.0.2), which provides information about any changes to the underlying docker scripts that are utilized by the image. The new tags on Dockerhub for liferay/dxp are formatted as follows

liferay/dxp:{Liferay.DXP.Version}-{Patching-Level}-{Docker.Script.Version}-{Timestamp}
liferay/dxp:7.2.10-dxp-7-d1.0.0-202009071842

When selecting which liferay/dxp base image to utilize for your project, please consider the entire docker tag, and please be sure to check out the release notes for your patching level before applying to your environment: DXP Release Notes

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:7.3-4.0.7"

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

liferay.workspace.docker.image.liferay=liferay/dxp:7.3.10-ga1-d1.2.1-20201005160536

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

git add . && git commit -m "update dxp cloud stack to 2020.43.1"

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