appc/cni#76 added a "dns" field in the result JSON. But before this
patch, the plugins had no way of knowing which name server to return.
There could be two ways of knowing which name server to return:
1. add it as an extra argument ("CNI_ARGS")
2. add it in the network configuration as a convenience (received via
stdin)
I chose the second way because it is easier. In the case of rkt, it
means the user could just add the DNS name servers in
/etc/rkt/net.d/mynetwork.conf.
This takes some of the machinery from CNI and from the rkt networking
code, and turns it into a library that can be linked into go apps.
Included is an example command-line application that uses the library,
called `cnitool`.
Other headline changes:
* Plugin exec'ing is factored out
The motivation here is to factor out the protocol for invoking
plugins. To that end, a generalisation of the code from api.go and
pkg/plugin/ipam.go goes into pkg/invoke/exec.go.
* Move argument-handling and conf-loading into public API
The fact that the arguments get turned into an environment for the
plugin is incidental to the API; so, provide a way of supplying them
as a struct or saying "just use the same arguments as I got" (the
latter is for IPAM plugins).
Path rewriting causes too many problems when vendoring
vendored code. When CNI code is vendored into rkt,
godep has problems code already vendored by CNI.
When plugin errors out, it prints out a JSON object to stdout
describing the failure. This object needs to be propagated out
through the plugins and to the container runtime. This change
also adds Print method to both the result and error structs
for easy serialization to stdout.
The plugin binary actually functions in two modes. The first mode
is a regular CNI plugin. The second mode (when stared with "daemon" arg)
runs a DHCP client daemon. When executed as a CNI plugin, it issues
an RPC request to the daemon for actual processing. The daemon is
required since a DHCP lease needs to be maintained by periodically
renewing it. One instance of the daemon can server arbitrary number
of containers/leases.
This adds basic plugins.
"main" types: veth, bridge, macvlan
"ipam" type: host-local
The code has been ported over from github.com/coreos/rkt project
and adapted to fit the CNI spec.
