In order to support implicit ACL policies for tasks to get their own
secrets, each task would need to have its own ACL token. This would
add extra raft overhead as well as new garbage collection jobs for
cleaning up task-specific ACL tokens. Instead, Nomad will create a
workload Identity Claim for each task.
An Identity Claim is a JSON Web Token (JWT) signed by the server’s
private key and attached to an Allocation at the time a plan is
applied. The encoded JWT can be submitted as the X-Nomad-Token header
to replace ACL token secret IDs for the RPCs that support identity
claims.
Whenever a key is is added to a server’s keyring, it will use the key
as the seed for a Ed25519 public-private private keypair. That keypair
will be used for signing the JWT and for verifying the JWT.
This implementation is a ruthlessly minimal approach to support the
secure variables feature. When a JWT is verified, the allocation ID
will be checked against the Nomad state store, and non-existent or
terminal allocation IDs will cause the validation to be rejected. This
is sufficient to support the secure variables feature at launch
without requiring implementation of a background process to renew
soon-to-expire tokens.
This PR adds the 'choose' query parameter to the '/v1/service/<service>' endpoint.
The value of 'choose' is in the form '<number>|<key>', number is the number
of desired services and key is a value unique but consistent to the requester
(e.g. allocID).
Folks aren't really expected to use this API directly, but rather through consul-template
which will soon be getting a new helper function making use of this query parameter.
Example,
curl 'localhost:4646/v1/service/redis?choose=2|abc123'
Note: consul-templte v0.29.1 includes the necessary nomadServices functionality.
This PR deprecates some functions in favor of generic alternatives.
The new functions are compatible only with Nomad v1.4+.
The old functions (nor their use) should not be removed until Nomad v1.6+.
This PR update to Go 1.18.2. Also update the versions of hclfmt
and go-hclogfmt which includes newer dependencies necessary for dealing
with go1.18.
The hcl v2 branch is now 'nomad-v2.9.1+tweaks2', to include a fix for
newer macOS versions: 8927e75e82
Fix numerous go-getter security issues:
- Add timeouts to http, git, and hg operations to prevent DoS
- Add size limit to http to prevent resource exhaustion
- Disable following symlinks in both artifacts and `job run`
- Stop performing initial HEAD request to avoid file corruption on
retries and DoS opportunities.
**Approach**
Since Nomad has no ability to differentiate a DoS-via-large-artifact vs
a legitimate workload, all of the new limits are configurable at the
client agent level.
The max size of HTTP downloads is also exposed as a node attribute so
that if some workloads have large artifacts they can specify a high
limit in their jobspecs.
In the future all of this plumbing could be extended to enable/disable
specific getters or artifact downloading entirely on a per-node basis.
This change modifies the template task runner to utilise the
new consul-template which includes Nomad service lookup template
funcs.
In order to provide security and auth to consul-template, we use
a custom HTTP dialer which is passed to consul-template when
setting up the runner. This method follows Vault implementation.

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.
Resolves#12095 by WONTFIXing it.
This approach disables `writeToFile` as it allows arbitrary host
filesystem writes and is only a small quality of life improvement over
multiple `template` stanzas.
This approach has the significant downside of leaving people who have
altered their `template.function_denylist` *still vulnerable!* I added
an upgrade note, but we should have implemented the denylist as a
`map[string]bool` so that new funcs could be denied without overriding
custom configurations.
This PR also includes a bug fix that broke enabling all consul-template
funcs. We repeatedly failed to differentiate between a nil (unset)
denylist and an empty (allow all) one.
This PR introduces support for using Nomad on systems with cgroups v2 [1]
enabled as the cgroups controller mounted on /sys/fs/cgroups. Newer Linux
distros like Ubuntu 21.10 are shipping with cgroups v2 only, causing problems
for Nomad users.
Nomad mostly "just works" with cgroups v2 due to the indirection via libcontainer,
but not so for managing cpuset cgroups. Before, Nomad has been making use of
a feature in v1 where a PID could be a member of more than one cgroup. In v2
this is no longer possible, and so the logic around computing cpuset values
must be modified. When Nomad detects v2, it manages cpuset values in-process,
rather than making use of cgroup heirarchy inheritence via shared/reserved
parents.
Nomad will only activate the v2 logic when it detects cgroups2 is mounted at
/sys/fs/cgroups. This means on systems running in hybrid mode with cgroups2
mounted at /sys/fs/cgroups/unified (as is typical) Nomad will continue to
use the v1 logic, and should operate as before. Systems that do not support
cgroups v2 are also not affected.
When v2 is activated, Nomad will create a parent called nomad.slice (unless
otherwise configured in Client conifg), and create cgroups for tasks using
naming convention <allocID>-<task>.scope. These follow the naming convention
set by systemd and also used by Docker when cgroups v2 is detected.
Client nodes now export a new fingerprint attribute, unique.cgroups.version
which will be set to 'v1' or 'v2' to indicate the cgroups regime in use by
Nomad.
The new cpuset management strategy fixes#11705, where docker tasks that
spawned processes on startup would "leak". In cgroups v2, the PIDs are
started in the cgroup they will always live in, and thus the cause of
the leak is eliminated.

This PR
- upgrades the serf library
- has the test start the join process using the un-joined server first
- disables schedulers on the servers
- uses the WaitForLeader and wantPeers helpers
Not sure which, if any of these actually improves the flakiness of this test.
Previously we copied this library by hand to avoid vendor-ing a bunch of
files related to minimock. Now that we no longer vendor, just import the
library normally.
Also we might use more of the library for handling `time.After` uses,
for which this library provides a Context-based solution.
This PR sets the minimum Go version for the `api` submodule to Go 1.17.
It also upgrades
- gorilla/websocket 1.4.1 -> 1.4.2
- mitchelh/mapstructure 1.4.2 -> 1.4.3
- stretchr/testify 1.5.1 -> 1.7.0
Closes#11518#11602#11528
github.com/kr/pty was moved to github.com/creack/pty
Swap this dependency so we can upgrade to the latest version
and no longer need a replace directive.
This has been pinned since the Go modules migration, because the
nytimes gzip handler was modified in version v1.1.0 in a way that
is no longer compatible.
Pretty sure it is this commit: c551b6c3b4
Instead use handler.CompressHandler from gorilla, which is a web toolkit we already
make use of for other things.
