Before, Connect Native Tasks needed one of these to work:
- To be run in host networking mode
- To have the Consul agent configured to listen to a unix socket
- To have the Consul agent configured to listen to a public interface
None of these are a great experience, though running in host networking is
still the best solution for non-Linux hosts. This PR establishes a connection
proxy between the Consul HTTP listener and a unix socket inside the alloc fs,
bypassing the network namespace for any Connect Native task. Similar to and
re-uses a bunch of code from the gRPC listener version for envoy sidecar proxies.
Proxy is established only if the alloc is configured for bridge networking and
there is at least one Connect Native task in the Task Group.
Fixes#8290
This PR adds the capability of running Connect Native Tasks on Nomad,
particularly when TLS and ACLs are enabled on Consul.
The `connect` stanza now includes a `native` parameter, which can be
set to the name of task that backs the Connect Native Consul service.
There is a new Client configuration parameter for the `consul` stanza
called `share_ssl`. Like `allow_unauthenticated` the default value is
true, but recommended to be disabled in production environments. When
enabled, the Nomad Client's Consul TLS information is shared with
Connect Native tasks through the normal Consul environment variables.
This does NOT include auth or token information.
If Consul ACLs are enabled, Service Identity Tokens are automatically
and injected into the Connect Native task through the CONSUL_HTTP_TOKEN
environment variable.
Any of the automatically set environment variables can be overridden by
the Connect Native task using the `env` stanza.
Fixes#6083
