Turn on end-of-support checks

With the End of Life connection, the Tech stack tab says until when the runtimes and the base images of a component are supported, for example Supported until 30/04/2027. You add it once, as an administrator. There is no token to enter: the service is public.

Before you start​

The Tech stack plugin is on: see Turn on a plugin. Astrolabe must reach https://endoflife.date from its server.

🔌 Add the connection​

  1. In the left sidebar, at the bottom, click Administration.

  2. Under PLATFORM, click Company connections.

  3. On the End of Life card, click Manage.

  4. At the top, click Add connection.

  5. In the form, leave Name as End of Life and End of Life address as https://endoflife.date.

  6. Click Test connection. The form says Connection works: the source accepted the credentials.

  7. Click Add. Astrolabe restarts on its own: wait between 30 seconds and a minute.

The list shows End of Life, with the host endoflife.date, the source Administration and the state Connected.

👀 Check it on a component​

  1. In the top bar, click Catalog, click your component, then click the Tech stack tab.

  2. Under Base image, each image now shows Supported until a date. The line End of support not verified. is gone.

A runtime version, and a date already past, were not checked on a live instance.

A copy of the service in your network

Change End of Life address only if your company runs its own copy of the service.

🛠 Troubleshooting​
