Git commit messages #

Tasks now store the Git commit hash and message, enabling you to rerun tasks using the same commit.

Task run details #

A new Details page has been added to provide insights into task running results. The page features a chart showing task outcomes (success or error), allows users to select time ranges (from 1 week to 1 year), and includes a filter by user.

Terraform HTTP backend (PRO) #

Now you can use Semaphore Pro to store your Terraform/OpenTofu state. You only need to add the following block to your Terraform/OpenTofu code:

terraform {
    backend "http" {
    }
}

Semaphore stores a history of the state.

To use the HTTP backend from the CLI, add Alias and reference it as the backend configuration in your Terraform/OpenTofu code:

terraform {
    backend "http" {
        address = "http://localhost:3000/api/terraform/3rzllo19iyw3uu22"
        username = "login_from_secret"
        password = "password_from_secret"
    }
}

Bugfixes #

• OpenTofu/Terraform: Fixed a bug with Terraform tasks: the -auto-approve flag now works.

• Security: Prevented JavaScript from using Cookies to avoid the HTTPOnly issue.

• OpenTofu/Terraform: enabled the -migrate-state flag by default.
• Added prompts for state actions on the web.
• Terraform/OpenTofu: Ignored the workspace name for the HTTP backend.
