Container image
Containers are lightweight, portable execution environments that wrap server application software in a filesystem that includes everything it needs to run. Container applications run on supported container runtimes and orchestration services, such as Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Both eliminate the need for you to install and operate your own container orchestration software by managing and scheduling containers on a scalable cluster of virtual machines.
Version release notes
Fix for Nix vulnerabilities
This release fixes GHSA-vh5x-56v6-4368 and GHSA-gr92-w2r5-qw5p . For Linux and macOS installations of Flox, GHSA-vh5x-56v6-4368 can allow arbitrary code execution as root. This affects Flox versions >=1.3.12.
Features
The manifest schema was bumped from 1.11.0 to 1.12.0 for the auto-start feature below.
- flox activate automatically starts services when auto-start = true is set in the manifest's [services] section, and a new --no-start-services flag suppresses this on individual invocations.
- flox publish reports failure-specific error messages for common repository validation issues (missing upstream branch, detached HEAD, SSH/authentication failure, revision not on remote).
- flox publish collects narinfo for build outputs and their full closure from the local Nix store when publishing to a metadata-only catalog. This data is required to build a complete SBOM.
Fixes
- Propagated packages now respect the priority of their parent package in the manifest's [install] block when activated in "develop" mode.
- Manifest builds no longer fail when source files contain special characters in their filenames.
- FLOX_FLOXHUB_TOKEN is redacted in log files and verbose output.
- flox publish reports a clear error when .flox files are untracked in the build repository, instead of failing with a confusing "could not find environment pointer file" message.
- flox publish honors the keep_tempdir setting when a build fails in an ephemeral directory.
- flox publish no longer hangs polling for publisher confirmation when running against a metadata-only or NixCopy catalog configuration.
- Metadata-only flox publish no longer fails with NoToken when no FloxHub token is configured when using Kerberos Authn.
- flox include upgrade no longer unnecessarily migrates manifests with older but still-supported schema versions, avoiding schema version drift in the lockfile.
