FlexDeploy Installer Release Notes

​

1.0.30 (11/04/2026)

FLEXDEPLOY-16659 - PostgreSQL prerequisite validation now requires superuser or Create Role (CREATEROLE). Create DB is no longer a mandatory check; it is only needed when the installer user will create the FlexDeploy database. FLEXDEPLOY-7917 - Docker install now fails when docker stop, rm, or run commands exit non-zero instead of reporting success. Installing with version Latest and the -d parameter is also fixed. The pull command can still exit non-zero if the image is already present locally. FLEXDEPLOY-15951 - Installer database errors now direct customers to contact Flexagon support. Self-service resolution is not the recommended path for those failures.

​

1.0.29 (6/26/2026)

FLEXDEPLOY-14554 - Support for FlexDeploy 11.1 Docker. Do not install 11.1 on Docker with older versions of the installer. Additional inputs were added to the configuration to allow for user mapping.

FLEXDEPLOY-15559 - Initial support for FlexDeploy 11.0. FLEXDEPLOY-15557 - Migrate the Docker images of FlexDeploy 10.0+ to Azure. If running on Docker, you must use at least version 1.0.28 to run FlexDeploy 10.0.

FLEXDEPLOY-12786 - The installer now works with newer 8.0 and 9.0 versions of the docker image.

​

1.0.22 (10/10/2024)

​

1.0.18 (4/5/24)

FLEXDEPLOY-11883 - Resolved regression 11883 in installer 1.0.17 where the installer was requiring a JDK when a JRE may be sufficient. FLEXDEPLOY-11617 - The installer now sets up influx more completely before starting FlexDeploy. This should reduce instances of customers upgrading and not getting influx setup because they cancel the installer before it completes. FLEXDEPLOY-11887 - The installer no longer modifies the context or server xml files at all when maintain is set to 1. Previously, the database url, port, and password were updated, which caused issues for customers using Cyberark and other password management tools.
