Fixes#2522
Skip embedding client.alloc_dir when building chroot. If a user
configures a Nomad client agent so that the chroot_env will embed the
client.alloc_dir, Nomad will happily infinitely recurse while building
the chroot until something horrible happens. The best case scenario is
the filesystem's path length limit is hit. The worst case scenario is
disk space is exhausted.
A bad agent configuration will look something like this:
```hcl
data_dir = "/tmp/nomad-badagent"
client {
enabled = true
chroot_env {
# Note that the source matches the data_dir
"/tmp/nomad-badagent" = "/ohno"
# ...
}
}
```
Note that `/ohno/client` (the state_dir) will still be created but not
`/ohno/alloc` (the alloc_dir).
While I cannot think of a good reason why someone would want to embed
Nomad's client (and possibly server) directories in chroots, there
should be no cause for harm. chroots are only built when Nomad runs as
root, and Nomad disables running exec jobs as root by default. Therefore
even if client state is copied into chroots, it will be inaccessible to
tasks.
Skipping the `data_dir` and `{client,server}.state_dir` is possible, but
this PR attempts to implement the minimum viable solution to reduce risk
of unintended side effects or bugs.
When running tests as root in a vm without the fix, the following error
occurs:
```
=== RUN TestAllocDir_SkipAllocDir

Also removed unused Copy methods on AllocDir and TaskDir structs.
Thanks to @eveld for not letting me forget about this!
FailoverHeartbeatTTL is the amount of time to wait after a server leader failure
before considering reallocating client tasks. This TTL should be fairly long as
the new server leader needs to rebuild the entire heartbeat map for the
cluster. In deployments with a small number of machines, the default TTL (5m)
may be unnecessary long. Let's allow operators to configure this value in their
config files.

Update summary of alloc directory to include information on access differences between task drivers and filesystem isolation modes.

By default we should not expose the NOMAD_LICENSE environment variable
to tasks.
Also refactor where the DefaultEnvDenyList lives so we don't have to
maintain 2 copies of it. Since client/config is the most obvious
location, keep a reference there to its unfortunate home buried deep
in command/agent/host. Since the agent uses this list as well for the
/agent/host endpoint the list must be accessible from both command/agent
and client.
This fixes a bug in the event stream API where it currently interprets
namespace=* as an actual namespace, not a wildcard. When Nomad parses
incoming requests, it sets namespace to default if not specified, which
means the request namespace will never be an empty string, which is what
the event subscription was checking for. This changes the conditional
logic to check for a wildcard namespace instead of an empty one.
It also updates some event tests to include the default namespace in the
subscription to match current behavior.

Update the ingress gateway documentation to remove the note stating
that a port must be specified for values in the `hosts` field when
the ingress gateway is listening on a non-standard HTTP port.
Specifying a port was required in Consul 1.8.0, but that requirement
was removed in 1.8.1 with hashicorp/consul#8190 which made Consul
include the port number when constructing the Envoy configuration.

Tweaks to the commands in Consul Connect page.
For multi-command scripts, having the leading `$` is a bit annoying, as it makes copying the text harder. Also, the `copy` button would only copy the first command and ignore the rest.
Also, the `echo 1 > ...` commands are required to run as root, unlike the rest! I made them use `| sudo tee` pattern to ease copy & paste as well.
Lastly, update the CNI plugin links to 1.0.0. It's fresh off the oven - just got released less than an hour ago: https://github.com/containernetworking/plugins/releases/tag/v1.0.0 .
Using `bridge` networking requires that you have CNI plugins installed
on the client, but this isn't in the jobspec `network` docs which are
the first place someone will look when trying to configure task
networking.
This PR implements a new "System Batch" scheduler type. Jobs can
make use of this new scheduler by setting their type to 'sysbatch'.
Like the name implies, sysbatch can be thought of as a hybrid between
system and batch jobs - it is for running short lived jobs intended to
run on every compatible node in the cluster.
As with batch jobs, sysbatch jobs can also be periodic and/or parameterized
dispatch jobs. A sysbatch job is considered complete when it has been run
on all compatible nodes until reaching a terminal state (success or failed
on retries).
Feasibility and preemption are governed the same as with system jobs. In
this PR, the update stanza is not yet supported. The update stanza is sill
limited in functionality for the underlying system scheduler, and is
not useful yet for sysbatch jobs. Further work in #4740 will improve
support for the update stanza and deployments.
Closes#2527
Otherwise the spinner would just end, which felt a bit awkward.
I wanted to see a "✓" to know that everything was ok, and a "!" (maybe something else?) if something went wrong.
This PR fixes a bug where the underlying Envoy process of a Connect gateway
would consume a full core of CPU if there is more than one sidecar or gateway
in a group. The utilization was being caused by Consul injecting an envoy_ready_listener
on 127.0.0.1:8443, of which only one of the Envoys would be able to bind to.
The others would spin in a hot loop trying to bind the listener.
As a workaround, we now specify -address during the Envoy bootstrap config
step, which is how Consul maps this ready listener. Because there is already
the envoy_admin_listener, and we need to continue supporting running gateways
in host networking mode, and in those case we want to use the same port
value coming from the service.port field, we now bind the admin listener to
the 127.0.0.2 loop-back interface, and the ready listener takes 127.0.0.1.
This shouldn't make a difference in the 99.999% use case where envoy is
being run in its official docker container. Advanced users can reference
${NOMAD_ENVOY_ADMIN_ADDR_<service>} (as they 'ought to) if needed,
as well as the new variable ${NOMAD_ENVOY_READY_ADDR_<service>} for the
envoy_ready_listener.
Alloc exec only works when task is passed as a flag and not an arg.
Alloc logs currently accepts either, but alloc signal and restart only
accept task as an arg. This adds -task as a flag to the other alloc
commands to make the cli UX consistent. If task is passed as a flag and
an arg, it ignores the arg.
In Nomad 1.1.1 we generate a hosts file based on the Nomad-owned network
namespace, rather than using the default hosts file from the pause
container. This hosts file should be shared between tasks in the same
allocation so that tasks can update the file and have the results propagated
between tasks.
The `docker` driver's `port_map` field was deprecated in 0.12 and this is
documented in the task driver's docs, but we never explicitly flagged it for
backwards compatibility.
This PR makes it so that Nomad will automatically set the CONSUL_TLS_SERVER_NAME
environment variable for Connect native tasks running in bridge networking mode
where Consul has TLS enabled. Because of the use of a unix domain socket for
communicating with Consul when in bridge networking mode, the server name is
a file name instead of something compatible with the mTLS certificate Consul
will authenticate against. "localhost" is by default a compatible name, so Nomad
will set the environment variable to that.
Fixes#10804
Current efs driver does not support telling it if its a `node` or a `controller`, and it will not print any error it will just ignore all other parameters then:(
So this will result in endpoint being `/tmp/csi.sock` and not `/csi/csi.sock` which will in turn break nomad/csi integration.
Also I changed the latest image tag to v1.3.2 to make sure anybody copy pasting this example is sure that it will work.
Tested on nomad 1.1.2
When `network.mode = "bridge"`, we create a pause container in Docker with no
networking so that we have a process to hold the network namespace we create
in Nomad. The default `/etc/hosts` file of that pause container is then used
for all the Docker tasks that share that network namespace. Some applications
rely on this file being populated.
This changeset generates a `/etc/hosts` file and bind-mounts it to the
container when Nomad owns the network, so that the container's hostname has an
IP in the file as expected. The hosts file will include the entries added by
the Docker driver's `extra_hosts` field.
In this changeset, only the Docker task driver will take advantage of this
option, as the `exec`/`java` drivers currently copy the host's `/etc/hosts`
file and this can't be changed without breaking backwards compatibility. But
the fields are available in the task driver protobuf for community task
drivers to use if they'd like.
System and batch jobs don't create deployments, which means nomad tries
to monitor a non-existent deployment when it runs a job and outputs an
error message. This adds a check to make sure a deployment exists before
monitoring. Also fixes some formatting.

Old description of `{plan,worker}.wait_for_index` described the metric
in terms of waiting for a snapshot which has two problems:
1. "Snapshot" is an overloaded term in Nomad and operators can't be
expected to know which use we're referring to here.
2. The most important thing about the metric is what we're waiting *on*
before taking a snapshot: the raft index of the object to be
processed (plan or eval).
The new description tries to cram all of that context into the tiny
space provided.
See #5791 for details about the `wait_for_index` mechanism in general.
This PR fixes the API to _not_ set the default mesh gateway mode. Before,
the mode would be set to "none" in Canonicalize, which is incorrect. We
should pass through the empty string so that folks can make use of Consul
service-defaults Config entries to configure the default mode.
This PR implements first-class support for Nomad running Consul
Connect Mesh Gateways. Mesh gateways enable services in the Connect
mesh to make cross-DC connections via gateways, where each datacenter
may not have full node interconnectivity.
Consul docs with more information:
https://www.consul.io/docs/connect/gateways/mesh-gateway
The following group level service block can be used to establish
a Connect mesh gateway.
service {
connect {
gateway {
mesh {
// no configuration
}
}
}
}
Services can make use of a mesh gateway by configuring so in their
upstream blocks, e.g.
service {
connect {
sidecar_service {
proxy {
upstreams {
destination_name = "<service>"
local_bind_port = <port>
datacenter = "<datacenter>"
mesh_gateway {
mode = "<mode>"
}
}
}
}
}
}
Typical use of a mesh gateway is to create a bridge between datacenters.
A mesh gateway should then be configured with a service port that is
mapped from a host_network configured on a WAN interface in Nomad agent
config, e.g.
client {
host_network "public" {
interface = "eth1"
}
}
Create a port mapping in the group.network block for use by the mesh
gateway service from the public host_network, e.g.
network {
mode = "bridge"
port "mesh_wan" {
host_network = "public"
}
}
Use this port label for the service.port of the mesh gateway, e.g.
service {
name = "mesh-gateway"
port = "mesh_wan"
connect {
gateway {
mesh {}
}
}
}
Currently Envoy is the only supported gateway implementation in Consul.
By default Nomad client will run the latest official Envoy docker image
supported by the local Consul agent. The Envoy task can be customized
by setting `meta.connect.gateway_image` in agent config or by setting
the `connect.sidecar_task` block.
Gateways require Consul 1.8.0+, enforced by the Nomad scheduler.
Closes#9446
Adds clarification to `nomad volume create` commands around how the `volume`
block in the jobspec overrides this behavior. Adds missing section to `nomad
volume register` and to example volume spec for both commands.
Move the words being defined in the /docs/internal/architecture page to be
small headers so that they can be linked to with anchors from Learn guides and
other documentation location.
Update docs for allow_caps, cap_add, cap_drop in exec/java/docker driver
pages. Also update upgrade guide with guidance on new default linux
capabilities for exec and java drivers.
The `capacity` block was removed during implementation in lieu of the
`capacity_max` and `capacity_min` fields, but it wasn't removed from the
example in the documentation.
The default Linux Capabilities set enabled by the docker, exec, and
java task drivers includes CAP_NET_RAW (for making ping just work),
which has the side affect of opening an ARP DoS/MiTM attack between
tasks using bridge networking on the same host network.
https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#runtime-privilege-and-linux-capabilities
This PR disables CAP_NET_RAW for the docker, exec, and java task
drivers. The previous behavior can be restored for docker using the
allow_caps docker plugin configuration option.
A future version of nomad will enable similar configurability for the
exec and java task drivers.
