SSL

SSL and load balancer protocols are now configured using labels in docker-compose.yml.

web:
  labels:
    - convox.port.443.protocol=https
    - convox.port.443.secure=true
  ports:
    - 443:5001

convox ssl create and convox ssl delete and associated API endpoints have been removed. The API endpoint for convox ssl update has been updated and is the sole command to manage SSL certs going forward.

convox start has also been updated to simulate the behavior of a production load balancer locally for better dev/prod parity.

See the SSL and Load Balancer docs

Cron

Convox now supports scheduled jobs that are configured via labels in docker-compose.yml.

For example,to run the command rake myjob every hour on the web process, you would configure the label like this:

web:
  labels:
    - convox.cron.myjob=0 * * * ? rake myjob
