Added PHP 8.0—Updated PHP to version 8.0, allowing you take advantage of all the new features and optimizations PHP 8.0 includes.
Updated to Varnish 6.6 and Elasticsearch 7.11.2—The following links provide release information on Varnish Cache 6.6 and Elasticsearch 7.11.2.
Added ioncube extension for PHP 7.4 image—The ioncube extension has been re-added to the PHP 7.4 image after having been initially excluded from the PHP 7.3 to PHP 7.4 upgrade. Submitted by mattskr.
Added a file sync option: manual-native—The manual-native file synchronization option provides manual control over synchronization, which provides the best performance for macOS and Windows environments. Read about using the manual-native option in Developer mode and Synchronizing data in a Docker developer environment.
Removed volume deletions from up and down commands—The --volume option was removed from the bin/magento-docker up and bin/magento-docker down commands, replaced by the new bin/magento-docker init command with a data loss warning. This change helps prevent the accidental data loss. Submitted by joeshelton-wagento.
Updated CN value for the generated certificate—Removed the hardcoded CN value from the Dockerfile. This value created a certificate error (NET::ERR_CERT_INVALID) that caused the --host option for the ece-docker build:compose command to be ignored.

v1.2.2

Release date: April 20, 2021

Updated host.docker.internal to be platform independent—You can now create the same Docker Compose scripts for Ubuntu, Windows, and macOS. Using Xdebug on Ubuntu no longer requires a separate environment variable. Fix submitted by Igor Vitol.
Updated init-docker.sh—Added the mounts object to the MAGENTO_CLOUD_APPLICATION environment variable. Fix submitted by Chiranjeevi.
Updated init-docker.sh—Updated the init-docker.sh script with PHP 7.4 and Cloud Docker 1.2.1 versions. Fix submitted by Adarsh Manickam.
Sodium enabled by default—Enabled the sodium PHP extension by default within PHP Docker images.
custom-registry option—Added a --custom-registry option to php ./vendor/bin/ece-docker build:compose command for using your own images registry.
./vendor/bin/ece-docker build:compose --custom-registry=my-registry.example.com
Removed old Elasticsearch versions—Removed Elasticsearch versions 1.7 and 2.4 from the Elasticsearch images.
Auto-generating NGINX certificates—Removed the existing certificates from the NGINX image. The NGINX certificates are now auto-generated with each new deployment for improved security.
Enabled opcache.validate_timestamps—Enabled the opcache.validate_timestamps PHP setting by default in developer mode. Enabling this setting fixed the issue where changes to the filesystem were not recognized in Docker.
Fixed build:custom:compose—Fixed the build:custom:compose command to throw an error when files cannot be overwritten during the build process. Throwing an error prevents situations where docker-compose up could be using the wrong files.
Fixed --sync_engine="native" option—Fixed the issue where in production mode (--mode="production"), the --sync_engine="native" option would not create any entries for local folders in the docker.composer.yml file.
Fixed service version validation errors—Added service versions for RabbitMQ, Elasticsearch, and other services to the type property in the MAGENTO_CLOUD_RELATIONSHIP variable. Adding these versions to the relationships variable fixed the validation errors that occurred during the deploy phase.

v1.2.1

Release date: December 21, 2020

NGINX command options—Added build command options to change the number of NGINX worker_processes and NGINX worker_connections for TLS and Web services. The worker_process parameter retains the ability to set the value to auto. Examples:
./vendor/bin/ece-docker build:compose --nginx-worker-processes=2 ./vendor/bin/ece-docker build:compose --nginx-worker-connections=2048
TLS command option—Added build command option to create a configuration without the TLS service. Example:
./vendor/bin/ece-docker build:compose --no-tls
NGINX memory consumption—Reduced the memory consumed by the NGINX process for TLS and Web services.
Blackfire—Disabled Blackfire PHP extension by default in the Cloud Docker image.
PHP-FPM container—Fixed PHP-FPM container health check by changing the WEB_PORT from 80 to 8080.
Invalid volume naming—Fixed an error with invalid volume naming in developer mode.
NGINX upstream port—Updated the Docker NGINX 1.19 image to use port 8080 to avoid an infinite loop. Fix submitted by Adarsh Manickam.

v1.2.0

Release date: November 9, 2020

Container updates—
- PHP-FPM container—Added support for the gnupg PHP extension. Fix submitted by G Arvind from Zilker Technology.
- Database container—Fixed the database container health check by adding the required database password to the health check command.
- Elasticsearch container
  - Added support for Elasticsearch 7.9 for compatibility with upcoming Adobe Commerce releases.
  - Elasticsearch plugin configuration—Added support to use the Elasticsearch plugin configuration information from the services.yaml file to generate the docker-compose.yaml file for a Cloud Docker for Commerce environment. See Elasticsearch plugins.
  - Elasticsearch plugin support—Added support for the following Elasticsearch plugins: analysis-icu, analysis-phonetic, analysis-stempel, and analysis-nori. The analysis-icu and analysis-phonetic plugins are installed by default. You can add or remove the analysis-stempel and analysis-nori plugins as needed.
- CLI container
  - Run commands inside Docker PHP containers—Now you can use the Cloud Docker CLI to run commands inside PHP containers in your Docker environment without having to install PHP on the host. For example, the following command builds the configuration: ./bin/magento-docker php 7.3 vendor/bin/ece-docker build:compose. See Cloud Docker CLI. Fix submitted by G Arvind from Zilker Technology.
  - Added the OpenSSH-client to PHP CLI containers. Now, you can use ssh-agent forwarding for Composer if the composer.json file contains private git repositories that require an ssh client to use Composer commands.
- TLS container—Now, the TLS container is based on the https://hub.docker.com/r/magento/magento-cloud-docker-nginx Docker image instead of the CentOS image. This change fixes issues that caused errors when sending HTTPS requests between containers in the Cloud Docker environment.
- Test container—Added a test container for application testing, and added the --with-test option to the Docker build:compose command to create the container only when testing in the Docker environment. See application testing.
- FPM-XDEBUG container
  - Configure Xdebug on Linux—Added the --set-docker-host option to the ece-docker build:compose command to configure the host.docker.internal value in the Xdebug container. This option is required to use Xdebug on Linux systems. See Configure Xdebug for Docker.
  - Fixed the Xdebug variable configuration for the Docker ENTRYPOINT to resolve uninitialized "with_xdebug" variable errors in the logs. Fix submitted by Florent Olivaud
Docker configuration changes
- MailHog configuration—Now you can use the following ece-docker build:compose command options to disable MailHog and specify ports: --no-mailhog, --mailhog-http-port, and --mailhog-smtp-port. See Set up email.
- For Cloud Docker for Commerce 1.2.0 and later, Adobe now provides Docker images for each patch version, and the Docker configuration generator creates the Docker configuration with a specified patch version instead of using the latest. Previously, the Docker configuration generator built the configuration using the latest patch version which could break Cloud Docker for Commerce environments built using an earlier version.
- Specify custom images and versions in custom Cloud Docker configuration—Updated the build:custom:compose command with options to specify custom images and versions when generating a custom Docker compose configuration file (docker-compose.yaml). See Build a custom Docker Compose configuration.
- Updated the Docker host configuration to expose port 443 to enable access to Adobe Commerce (https://magento2.docker) from all CLI containers. You can change the default port by adding the --tls-port option when you generate the Docker configuration file.
Fixed an issue that caused the Cloud Docker for Commerce build to fail if the app/etc/env.php file exists.
Updated the build configuration to replace named volumes with regular volumes to prevent issues when deploying Cloud Docker for Commerce on Linux or Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2).
Updated the Cloud Docker for Commerce functional tests to support Composer 2.0.

v1.1.2

Release date: September 9, 2020

Added support for Elasticsearch 7.7

v1.1.1

Release date: August 5, 2020

Updated email configuration—Updated the default Cloud Docker for Commerce configuration to support the MailHog service instead of using SendMail. See Set up email.
Restored the PS library to the Cloud Docker environment configuration to fix ps: command not found errors.
Updated the default Cloud Docker for Commerce configuration to remove automatic mounting of the database entrypoint and MariaDB volumes to fix Cannot create container for service db errors that can occur when starting your Cloud Docker environment.

Now, you can configure the Cloud Docker environment to mount the database directories by adding the following options to the ece-docker build:compose command: --with-entry-point and with-mariadb-conf. See Service configuration options.

  - Added a container health check. Fix submitted by Visanth Sampath from Zilker Technology.
- Node.js—Updated the default Node.js version from version 8 to version 10 to improve security. Node.js version 8 is deprecated and no longer updated with bug fixes or security patches. Fix submitted by Mohan Elamurugan from Zilker Technology.
- Elasticsearch
  - Added support for Elasticsearch 6.8, 7.2, 7.5, and 7.6.
  - Added the ability to customize the Elasticsearch container configuration when you generate the Docker compose configuration file.
  - Added the --no-es option to the service configuration options for generating the Docker Compose configuration file. Use this option to skip the Elasticsearch container installation and use MySQL search instead. This option is supported only for Adobe Commerce versions 2.3.5 and earlier.
- FPM-XDEBUG container—Added a service configuration option to install and configure Xdebug for debugging PHP in your Cloud Docker environment. See Configure Xdebug.
Docker configuration changes
