Update check

Many Jib users are unaware of new releases. To encourage users to stay up-to-date, the Jib Maven and Jib Gradle plugins (2.0.0 and later) and Jib CLI (0.6.0 and later) will periodically check to see if there is a new version of Jib is available. This check fetches a simple text file hosted in Google Cloud Storage. As a side effect this request is logged, which includes the request path, source IP address, and the user-agent string. The user-agent is set by Jib and includes the Jib tool name and version.

How to disable update checks

1. set the jib.disableUpdateChecks system property to true
2. set disableUpdateCheck to true in Jib's global config. The global config is in the following locations by default:
   • Linux: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/google-cloud-tools-java/jib/config.json (if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is defined), else $HOME/.config/google-cloud-tools-java/jib/config.json
   • Mac: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/Google/Jib/config.json (if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is defined), else $HOME/Library/Preferences/Google/Jib/config.json
   • Windows: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME\Google\Jib\Config\config.json (if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is defined), else %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Jib\Config\config.json
