This patch resolves various table growth issues caused by expired/inactive login and consent flows never being purged from the database.
You may now use the new `hydra janitor` command to remove access & refresh tokens and login & consent requests which are no longer valid or used. The command follows the `notAfter` safe-guard approach to ensure records needed to be kept are not deleted.
To learn more, please use `hydra help janitor`.
This patch phases out the `/oauth2/flush` endpoint as the janitor is better suited for background tasks, is easier to run in a targeted fashion (e.g. as a singleton job), and does not cause HTTP timeouts.
Closes#1574
BREAKING CHANGES: After battling with [spf13/viper](https://github.com/spf13/viper) for several years we finally found a viable alternative with [knadh/koanf](https://github.com/knadh/koanf). The complete internal configuration infrastructure has changed, with several highlights:
1. Configuration sourcing works from all sources (file, env, cli flags) with validation against the configuration schema, greatly improving developer experience when changing or updating configuration.
2. Configuration reloading has improved significantly and works flawlessly on Kubernetes.
3. Performance increased dramatically, completely removing the need for a cache layer between the configuration system and ORY Hydra.
4. It is now possible to load several config files using the `--config` flag.
5. Configuration values are now sent to the tracer (e.g. Jaeger) if tracing is enabled.
Please be aware that deprecated configuration flags have finally been removed with this change. It is also possible that ORY Hydra might complain about an invalid configuration, because the validation process has improved significantly.
This patch significantly refactors internal configuration and service management with the goal of making configuration changes possible without service restarts. This patch prepares the possibility to configure ORY Hydra from a remote source (etcd, consul) and watch for changes. This patch also introduces the possibility to configure ORY Hydra from a configuration file on top of environment variables.
The following issues have been fixed as well:
- Key rotation of the system secret is now much simpler (closes#1316)
- Database connectivity parameters such as max_conns no longer cause issues with older postgres versions (closes#1327)
- Non-existing routes now return a JSON error instead of `text/plain` when `application/json` was requested (clsoes #1244)
- We now push tags latest, X, X.Y, X.Y.Z to docker hub (closes#1289)
- The quickstart guide no longer builds the source code but instead pulls latest tag (closes#1309)
- We moved to goreleaser and godownloader for release management (closes#1107)
- The quickstart Docker Compose files are now reusable (closes#1196)
The following issues are also resolved:
- Closes#1121
