How to migrate from previous addon versions

Starting with Anbox Cloud 1.12, the following hooks are deprecated and should be replaced:

  • install should be replaced with pre-start
  • prepare should be replaced with post-start
  • restore should be replaced with pre-start
  • backup should be replaced with post-stop

Be aware that the new hooks run for all container types. To execute a hook for only regular or only base containers, use the new CONTAINER_TYPE environment variable. This variable is set to either base or regular.

For example, if you want to execute a hook only when your application is bootstrapped, you can do the following:

if [ "$CONTAINER_TYPE" = "regular" ]; then
  exit 0
fi

# Rest of the code for your addon

Copying your existing addons without modifications might have unintended side effects, because your hooks will run for every container.
