We are happy to announce the release of
RacksDB v0.7.0, a small
maintenance update with a practical improvement: environment variables to set
default paths in racksdb and racksdb-web.
RacksDB is an open-source solution to model your datacenter infrastructures using simple YAML files.
Environment variables for default paths. When the corresponding command-line
options are omitted, racksdb and racksdb-web now honor RACKSDB_DB,
RACKSDB_SCHEMA, and RACKSDB_EXTENSIONS to set the default database, schema,
and extensions paths. This makes containerized and scripted deployments easier
without repeating paths on every invocation (see
#149).
As usual for a maintenance release, v0.7.0 also brings front-end dependency security updates, documentation and platform support refreshes (including RHEL 10, Fedora 43 and 44, SLES and openSUSE, and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS), and packaging improvements such as schemas installed with the Python package and more reliable default schema path resolution. For the complete list of changes, refer to the release notes.
We warmly thank Leibniz Universität Hannover and the L3S Research Center for their feedback on this release.
