Since DNS is case insensitive and DB as issues when similar names with different
cases are added, check for unicity based on case insensitivity.
Following another big incident we had in our cluster, we also validate
that adding/renaming a not does not conflicts with case insensitive
matches.
We had the following error once:
- one node called: mymachine.MYDC.mydomain was shut off
- another node (different ID) was added with name: mymachine.mydc.mydomain before
72 hours
When restarting the consul server of domain, the consul server restarted failed
to start since it detected an issue in RAFT database because
mymachine.MYDC.mydomain and mymachine.mydc.mydomain had the same names.
Checking at registration time with case insensitivity should definitly fix
those issues and avoid Consul DB corruption.
We now essentially do 2 redirects if you hit a `folder/`
1. If you visit `/ui/dc1/kv/folder/`, `consul` will redirect you to `/ui/dc1/kv/folder`
2. Once redirected to `/ui/dc1/kv/folder` via a 301, use ember/history
API to redirect you back to `/ui/dc1/kv/folder/`.
Bit long winded, but achieves what we want without having to get stuck
into `consul` itself to remove the 301 for the UI
It fixes the following warnings:
agent/config/builder.go:1201: Errorf format %q has arg s of wrong type *string
agent/config/builder.go:1240: Errorf format %q has arg s of wrong type *string
This also changes where the enforcement of the enable_additional_node_meta_txt configuration gets applied.
formatNodeRecord returns the main RRs and the meta/TXT RRs in separate slices. Its then up to the caller to add to the appropriate sections or not.
The floating paragraph seems to need additional indentation to work correctly on the markdown parser middle man uses - GitHub got it right before in the preview but the website broke dumping the new config option inline.
Previous version of the documentation didn't mention this, which can
lead to confusion when experimenting with Connect. Many other features
of Consul work fine without `-dev` mode, but Connect needs certs in
order to proxy, which must be done with this flag or by generating certs
directly and passing them to Consul in configs.
