driver.SetConfig is not appropriate for starting up reconciler
goroutine. Some ephemeral driver instances are created for validating
config and we ought not to side-effecting goroutines for those.
We currently lack a lifecycle hook to inject these, so I picked the
`Fingerprinter` function for now, and reconciler should only run after
fingerprinter started.
Use `sync.Once` to ensure that we only start reconciler loop once.
Use use base official golang image in CircleCI, as it gets refreshed
more quickly compared to circleci/golang, and we don't benefit from
circleci image customizations much.
When running at scale, it's possible that Docker Engine starts
containers successfully but gets wedged in a way where API call fails.
The Docker Engine may remain unavailable for arbitrary long time.
Here, we introduce a periodic reconcilation process that ensures that any
container started by nomad is tracked, and killed if is running
unexpectedly.
Basically, the periodic job inspects any container that isn't tracked in
its handlers. A creation grace period is used to prevent killing newly
created containers that aren't registered yet.
Also, we aim to avoid killing unrelated containters started by host or
through raw_exec drivers. The logic is to pattern against containers
environment variables and mounts to infer if they are an alloc docker
container.
Lastly, the periodic job can be disabled to avoid any interference if
need be.
This is mostly deprecation fixes and blueprint changes. There
are some dependency updates too; the changes to Ember
Basic Dropdown necessitated changing it to angle bracket
component invocation. The conversion of the rest of the
templates will happen separately.
A failing script in a `remote-exec` provisioner's `inline` stanza
won't fail the provisioning step. This lets us continue on to execute
tests against potentially broken deployments, rather than letting us
know the provisioning itself failed.
This commit introduces support for configuring mount propagation when
mounting volumes with the `volume_mount` stanza on Linux targets.
Similar to Kubernetes, we expose 3 options for configuring mount
propagation:
- private, which is equivalent to `rprivate` on Linux, which does not allow the
container to see any new nested mounts after the chroot was created.
- host-to-task, which is equivalent to `rslave` on Linux, which allows new mounts
that have been created _outside of the container_ to be visible
inside the container after the chroot is created.
- bidirectional, which is equivalent to `rshared` on Linux, which allows both
the container to see new mounts created on the host, but
importantly _allows the container to create mounts that are
visible in other containers an don the host_
private and host-to-task are safe, but bidirectional mounts can be
dangerous, as if the code inside a container creates a mount, and does
not clean it up before tearing down the container, it can cause bad
things to happen inside the kernel.
To add a layer of safety here, we require that the user has ReadWrite
permissions on the volume before allowing bidirectional mounts, as a
defense in depth / validation case, although creating mounts should also require
a priviliged execution environment inside the container.
