Changes from KUSANAGI 8 to KUSANAGI 9

"KUSANAGI 9"

This is the latest version of KUSANAGI, built on the latest versions of CentOS Stream 8, AlmaLinux OS 8, CentOS Stream 9 and AlmaLinux OS 9.

  • Built on CentOS Stream 8, AlmaLinux OS 8, CentOS Stream 9 and AlmaLinux OS 9.
  • Middleware selection (nginx, httpd, mariadb)
    • It is now easier to build your preferred environment with stable operations and the latest versions, etc.
  • Python based refactoring of various commands
    • KUSANAGI commands have now been internally re-factored to detect incorrect option combinations.
    • In previous versions, if duplicate combinations of options were given, the last option specified would be selected without displaying any error. To prevent the possibility of building an environment that doesn't behave as expected, KUSANAGI 9 is designed to display an error message if there is a duplicate setting in a combination of options.
    • The help "-h" / "--help" option is now displayed with "kusanagi" commands and all "kusanagi" subcommands.

Changes in “KUSANAGI 9”

"kusanagi" Users Can Execute Commands

In KUSANAGI 9, not only "root" users, but all "kusanagi" users can execute "kusanagi" commands.

Installation Destination Changed to "/opt/kusanagi"

In KUSANAGI 9, "kusanagi" commands and "kusanagi" modules are now installed under "/opt/kusanagi".
Configuration files are now located in "/etc/opt/kusanagi" and log files in "/var/opt/kusanagi".
The full path of "kusanagi" commands is "/opt/kusanagi/bin/kusanagi".
The default PATH variable is "/opt/kusanagi/bin", the same as in previous versions of "kusanagi".
Also, a symbolic link is provided in "/usr/local/bin/kusanagi".

Specifying Profile Changed from "target" Subcommand to Specifying Profile with Subcommand Options

In KUSANAGI 9, specifying a profile has changed from using the "target" subcommand to setting a profile with certain subcommand options.
The commands to which profile specification can be added as an option are as follows:

KUSANAGI 8KUSANAGI 9Remarks
target {profile}status {option} {profile}update {option} {profile}remove {option} {profile}

bcache {option} {profile}

fcache {option} {profile}

configure {option} {profile}

monit {option} {profile}

ssl {option} {profile}

Now able to specify a profile for each subcommand.
Profile specification can be omitted. In such cases, each subcommand will be executed against the profile in the current directory. In previous versions, each subcommand was executed after the profile was changed with the "target" subcommand.
With this change in the profile specification method, the "target" subcommand is now obsolete.
