This handles a bug where we may start a container successfully, yet we
fail due to retries and startContainer not being idempotent call.
Here, we ensure that when starting a container fails with 500 error,
the retry succeeds if container was started successfully.
hclspec.NewLiteral does not quote its values, which caused `3m` to be
parsed as a nonsensical literal which broke the plugin loader during
initialization. By quoting the value here, it starts correctly.
Using the API as provided from the `mounts` package imposes validation
on the `src:dest` which shouldn't be performed at this time. To workaround
that lift the internal code from that library required to only perform
the split.
Currently, nomad "plugin" processes (e.g. executor, logmon, docker_logger) are started as CLI
commands to be handled by command CLI framework. Plugin launchers use
`discover.NomadBinary()` to identify the binary and start it.
This has few downsides: The trivial one is that when running tests, one
must re-compile the nomad binary as the tests need to invoke the nomad
executable to start plugin. This is frequently overlooked, resulting in
puzzlement.
The more significant issue with `executor` in particular is in relation
to external driver:
* Plugin must identify the path of invoking nomad binary, which is not
trivial; `discvoer.NomadBinary()` now returns the path to the plugin
rather than to nomad, preventing external drivers from launching
executors.
* The external driver may get a different version of executor than it
expects (specially if we make a binary incompatible change in future).
This commit addresses both downside by having the plugin invocation
handling through an `init()` call, similar to how libcontainer init
handler is done in [1] and recommened by libcontainer [2]. `init()`
will be invoked and handled properly in tests and external drivers.
For external drivers, this change will cause external drivers to launch
the executor that's compiled against.
There a are a couple of downsides to this approach:
* These specific packages (i.e executor, logmon, and dockerlog) need to
be careful in use of `init()`, package initializers. Must avoid having
command execution rely on any other init in the package. I prefixed
files with `z_` (golang processes files in lexical order), but ensured
we don't depend on order.
* The command handling is spread in multiple packages making it a bit
less obvious how plugin starts are handled.

Nomad 0.9 incidentally set effective capabilities that is higher than
what's expected of a `nobody` process, and what's set in 0.8.
This change restores the capabilities to ones used in Nomad 0.9.
Implements streamign exec handling in both executors (i.e. universal and
libcontainer).
For creation of TTY, some incidental complexity leaked in. The universal
executor uses github.com/kr/pty for creation of TTYs.
On the other hand, libcontainer expects a console socket and for libcontainer to
create the underlying console object on process start. The caller can then use
`libcontainer.utils.RecvFd()` to get tty master end.
I chose github.com/kr/pty for managing TTYs here. I tried
`github.com/containerd/console` package (which is already imported), but the
package did not work as expected on macOS.
Support Docker `volumes` field in Windows. Previously, volumes parser
assumed some Unix-ism (e.g. didn't expect `:` in mount paths).
Here, we use the Docker parser to identify host and container paths.
Docker parsers use different validation logic from our previous unix
implementation: Docker parser accepts single path as a volume entry
(parsing it as a container path with auto-created volume) and enforces
additional checks (e.g. validity of mode). Thereforce, I opted to use
Docker parser only for Windows, and keep Nomad's linux parser to
preserve current behavior.
In Nomad 0.9, we made volume driver handling the same for `""`, and
`"local"` volumes. Prior to Nomad 0.9 however these had slightly different
behaviour for relative paths and named volumes.
Prior to 0.9 the empty string would expand relative paths within the task
dir, and `"local"` volumes that are not absolute paths would be treated
as docker named volumes.
This commit reverts to the previous behaviour as follows:
| Nomad Version | Driver | Volume Spec | Behaviour |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------
| all | "" | testing:/testing | allocdir/testing |
| 0.8.7 | "local" | testing:/testing | "testing" as named volume |
| 0.9.0 | "local" | testing:/testing | allocdir/testing |
| 0.9.1 | "local" | testing:/testing | "testing" as named volume |
nvidia library use of dynamic library seems to conflict with alpine and
musl based OSes. This adds a `nonvidia` tag to allow compiling nomad
for alpine images.
The nomad releases currently only support glibc based OS environments,
so we default to compiling with nvidia.
Fix AppVeyor failing builds, by moving docker image url test to run on unix
systems only. The used paused image is a linux image only, not
available on Windows.
