Important: Action Required for Upcoming Hyperglance OS & Security Update

If you're running Hyperglance in your own environment, please read on. This update, 1-2025, will keep your system secure and ready for what's coming next.

What’s Changing?

This update includes:

Upgrading Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04: Ubuntu 20.04 reaches end-of-life on May 31, 2025. You’ll need to upgrade to stay secure and supported.
Updating Docker Compose: Newer Docker Compose versions improve reliability and compatibility.
Switching to “rootless” containers based on Ubuntu 22.04: We’re moving to rootless container images for improved security.
These changes will prepare your Hyperglance install for a follow-on update (Update 2-2025) that is coming soon in a few weeks.

Why This Matters

If you don’t complete this update:

You’ll be running Hyperglance on an unsupported OS after May 31, 2025.
Your Hyperglance users will periodically receive an in-product notification about this update.
You will miss out on significant security improvements and future product updates.

Who Needs to Take Action?

If you're an existing customer who manages Hyperglance as a VM or Instance then this update is relevant to you.

If you’re using Ubuntu Pro: Skip this update. You’re running a version of Ubuntu that doesn’t reach EOL, and rootless containers aren’t compatible with FIPs yet.
If you installed Hyperglance on a non-Ubuntu OS: You’re responsible for managing the OS in this case but still need to take action to update the Hyperglance Docker components.
If you deployed Hyperglance on Kubernetes via Helm: There is no action for you at this time. We will have an updated Helm Chart ready soon.
