When a task included a template block, Nomad was adding a Consul
identity by default which allowed the template to use Consul API
template functions even when they were not needed or desired.
This change removes the implict addition of Consul identities to
tasks when they include a template block. Job specification
authors will now need to add a Consul identity or Consul block to
their task if they have a template which uses Consul API functions.
This change also removes the default addition of a Consul block to
all task groups registered and processed by the API package.
* jobspec: add a chown option to artifact block
This PR adds a boolean 'chown' field to the artifact block.
It indicates whether the Nomad client should chown the downloaded files
and directories to be owned by the task.user. This is useful for drivers
like raw_exec and exec2 which are subject to the host filesystem user
permissions structure. Before, these drivers might not be able to use or
manage the downloaded artifacts since they would be owned by the root
user on a typical Nomad client configuration.
* api: no need for pointer of chown field
so more than one copy of a program can run
at a time on the same port with SO_REUSEPORT.
requires host network mode.
some task drivers (like docker) may also need
config {
network_mode = "host"
}
but this is not validated prior to placement.
Some users with batch workloads or short-lived prestart tasks want to derive a
Vaul token, use it, and then allow it to expire without requiring a constant
refresh. Add the `vault.allow_token_expiration` field, which works only with the
Workload Identity workflow and not the legacy workflow.
When set to true, this disables the client's renewal loop in the
`vault_hook`. When Vault revokes the token lease, the token will no longer be
valid. The client will also now automatically detect if the Vault auth
configuration does not allow renewals and will disable the renewal loop
automatically.
Note this should only be used when a secret is requested from Vault once at the
start of a task or in a short-lived prestart task. Long-running tasks should
never set `allow_token_expiration=true` if they obtain Vault secrets via
`template` blocks, as the Vault token will expire and the template runner will
continue to make failing requests to Vault until the `vault_retry` attempts are
exhausted.

This complements the `env` parameter, so that the operator can author
tasks that don't share their Vault token with the workload when using
`image` filesystem isolation. As a result, more powerful tokens can be used
in a job definition, allowing it to use template stanzas to issue all kinds of
secrets (database secrets, Vault tokens with very specific policies, etc.),
without sharing that issuing power with the task itself.
This is accomplished by creating a directory called `private` within
the task's working directory, which shares many properties of
the `secrets` directory (tmpfs where possible, not accessible by
`nomad alloc fs` or Nomad's web UI), but isn't mounted into/bound to the
container.
If the `disable_file` parameter is set to `false` (its default), the Vault token
is also written to the NOMAD_SECRETS_DIR, so the default behavior is
backwards compatible. Even if the operator never changes the default,
they will still benefit from the improved behavior of Nomad never reading
the token back in from that - potentially altered - location.

After a more detailed analysis of this feature, the approach taken in
PR #12449 was found to be not ideal due to poor UX (users are
responsible for setting the entity alias they would like to use) and
issues around jobs potentially masquerading itself as another Vault
entity.
Move some common Vault API data struct decoding out of the Vault client
so it can be reused in other situations.
Make Vault job validation its own function so it's easier to expand it.
Rename the `Job.VaultPolicies` method to just `Job.Vault` since it
returns the full Vault block, not just their policies.
Set `ChangeMode` on `Vault.Canonicalize`.
Add some missing tests.
Allows specifying an entity alias that will be used by Nomad when
deriving the task Vault token.
An entity alias assigns an indentity to a token, allowing better control
and management of Vault clients since all tokens with the same indentity
alias will now be considered the same client. This helps track Nomad
activity in Vault's audit logs and better control over Vault billing.
Add support for a new Nomad server configuration to define a default
entity alias to be used when deriving Vault tokens. This default value
will be used if the task doesn't have an entity alias defined.
This is a followup to running tests in serial in CI.
Since the API package cannot import anything outside of api/,
copy the ci.Parallel function into api/internal/testutil, and
have api tests use that.
This PR exposes the following existing`consul-template` configuration options to Nomad jobspec authors in the `{job.group.task.template}` stanza.
- `wait`
It also exposes the following`consul-template` configuration to Nomad operators in the `{client.template}` stanza.
- `max_stale`
- `block_query_wait`
- `consul_retry`
- `vault_retry`
- `wait`
Finally, it adds the following new Nomad-specific configuration to the `{client.template}` stanza that allows Operators to set bounds on what `jobspec` authors configure.
- `wait_bounds`

This PR adds the common OSS changes for adding support for Consul Namespaces,
which is going to be a Nomad Enterprise feature. There is no new functionality
provided by this changeset and hopefully no new bugs.
This PR adds the ability to set HTTP headers when downloading
an artifact from an `http` or `https` resource.
The implementation in `go-getter` is such that a new `HTTPGetter`
must be created for each artifact that sets headers (as opposed
to conveniently setting headers per-request). This PR maintains
the memoization of the default Getter objects, creating new ones
only for artifacts where headers are set.
Closes#9306

When canonicalizing the ReschedulePolicy a panic was possible if
the passed job type was not valid. This change protects against
this possibility, in a verbose way to ensure the code path is
clear.
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.
* Divest api/ package of deps elsewhere in the nomad repo.
This will allow making api/ a module without then pulling in the
external repo, leading to a package name conflict.
This required some migration of tests to an apitests/ folder (can be
moved anywhere as it has no deps on it). It also required some
duplication of code, notably some test helpers from api/ -> apitests/
and part (but not all) of testutil/ -> api/testutil/.
Once there's more separation and an e.g. sdk/ folder those can be
removed in favor of a dep on the sdk/ folder, provided the sdk/ folder
doesn't depend on api/ or /.
* Also remove consul dep from api/ package
* Fix stupid linters
* Some restructuring
Given that the values will rarely change, specially considering that any
changes would be backward incompatible change. As such, it's simpler to
keep syncing manually in the rare occasion and avoid the syncing code
overhead.
Embed pointer conversion functions in the API package to avoid
unnecessary package dependency. `helper` package imports more
dependencies relevant for internal use (e.g. `hcl`).
nomad/structs is an internal package and imports many libraries (e.g.
raft, codec) that are not relevant to api clients, and may cause
unnecessary dependency pain (e.g. `github.com/ugorji/go/codec`
version is very old now).
Here, we add a code generator that imports the relevant constants from
`nomad/structs`.
I considered using this approach for other structs, but didn't find a
quick viable way to reduce duplication. `nomad/structs` use values as
struct fields (e.g. `string`), while `api` uses value pointer (e.g.
`*string`) instead. Also, sometimes, `api` structs contain deprecated
fields or additional documentation, so simple copy-paste doesn't work.
For these reasons, I opt to keep the status quo.
IOPS have been modelled as a resource since Nomad 0.1 but has never
actually been detected and there is no plan in the short term to add
detection. This is because IOPS is a bit simplistic of a unit to define
the performance requirements from the underlying storage system. In its
current state it adds unnecessary confusion and can be removed without
impacting any users. This PR leaves IOPS defined at the jobspec parsing
level and in the api/ resources since these are the two public uses of
the field. These should be considered deprecated and only exist to allow
users to stop using them during the Nomad 0.9.x release. In the future,
there should be no expectation that the field will exist.
