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.
When the server restarts for the upgrade, it loads the `structs.Job` from the
Raft snapshot/logs. The jobspec has long since been parsed, so none of the
guards around the default value are in play. The empty field value for `Enabled`
is the zero value, which is false.
This doesn't impact any running allocation because we don't replace running
allocations when either the client or server restart. But as soon as any
allocation gets rescheduled (ex. you drain all your clients during upgrades),
it'll be using the `structs.Job` that the server has, which has `Enabled =
false`, and logs will not be collected.
This changeset fixes the bug by adding a new field `Disabled` which defaults to
false (so that the zero value works), and deprecates the old field.
Fixes#17076
Some Nomad users ship application logs out-of-band via syslog. For these users
having `logmon` (and `docker_logger`) running is unnecessary overhead. Allow
disabling the logmon and pointing the task's stdout/stderr to /dev/null.
This changeset is the first of several incremental improvements to log
collection short of full-on logging plugins. The next step will likely be to
extend the internal-only task driver configuration so that cluster
administrators can turn off log collection for the entire driver.

This PR solves a defect in the deserialization of api.Port structs when returning structs from theEventStream.
Previously, the api.Port struct's fields were decorated with both mapstructure and hcl tags to support the network.port stanza's use of the keyword static when posting a static port value. This works fine when posting a job and when retrieving any struct that has an embedded api.Port instance as long as the value is deserialized using JSON decoding. The EventStream, however, uses mapstructure to decode event payloads in the api package. mapstructure expects an underlying field named static which does not exist. The result was that the Port.Value field would always be set to 0.
Upon further inspection, a few things became apparent.
The struct already has hcl tags that support the indirection during job submission.
Serialization/deserialization with both the json and hcl packages produce the desired result.
The use of of the mapstructure tags provided no value as the Port struct contains only fields with primitive types.
This PR:
Removes the mapstructure tags from the api.Port structs
Updates the job parsing logic to use hcl instead of mapstructure when decoding Port instances.
Closes#11044

When a Nomad agent starts and loads jobs that already existed in the
cluster, the default template uid and gid was being set to 0, since this
is the zero value for int. This caused these jobs to fail in
environments where it was not possible to use 0, such as in Windows
clients.
In order to differentiate between an explicit 0 and a template where
these properties were not set we need to use a pointer.
UID/GID 0 is usually reserved for the root user/group. While Nomad
clients are expected to run as root it may not always be the case.
Setting these values as -1 if not defined will fallback to the pervious
behaviour of not attempting to set file ownership and use whatever
UID/GID the Nomad agent is running as. It will also keep backwards
compatibility, which is specially important for platforms where this
feature is not supported, like Windows.
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.
The HCL1 parser did not respect connect.sidecar_task.resources if the
connect.sidecar_service block was not set (an optimiztion that no longer
makes sense with connect gateways).
Fixes#10899
Add a new hostname string parameter to the network block which
allows operators to specify the hostname of the network namespace.
Changing this causes a destructive update to the allocation and it
is omitted if empty from API responses. This parameter also supports
interpolation.
In order to have a hostname passed as a configuration param when
creating an allocation network, the CreateNetwork func of the
DriverNetworkManager interface needs to be updated. In order to
minimize the disruption of future changes, rather than add another
string func arg, the function now accepts a request struct along with
the allocID param. The struct has the hostname as a field.
The in-tree implementations of DriverNetworkManager.CreateNetwork
have been modified to account for the function signature change.
In updating for the change, the enhancement of adding hostnames to
network namespaces has also been added to the Docker driver, whilst
the default Linux manager does not current implement it.
Allow for readiness type checks by configuring nomad to ignore warnings
or errors reported by a service check. This allows the deployment to
progress and while Consul handles introducing the sercive into a
resource pool once the check passes.
state store: call-out to generic update of job recommendations from job update method
recommendations API work, and http endpoint errors for OSS
support for scaling polices in task block of job spec
add query filters for ScalingPolicy list endpoint
command: nomad scaling policy list: added -job and -type
This eases adoption of the jobspec package by other projects (e.g. terraform nomad provider, Lavant). Either by consuming directy as a library (hopefully without having go mod import rest of nomad) or by copying the package without modification.
Ideally, this package will be published as an independent module. We aren't ready for that considering we'll be switching to HCLv2 "soon", but eitherway, this seems like a reasonable intermediate step if we choose to.
