There are at least two reasons why a lease is not present: * The dhcp ipam daemon was restarted * On add the IPAM plugin failed Don't fail the IPAM invocation when the lease is not present, to allow proper device cleanup on CNI delete invocations.
dhcp plugin
Overview
With dhcp plugin the containers can get an IP allocated by a DHCP server already running on your network. This can be especially useful with plugin types such as macvlan. Because a DHCP lease must be periodically renewed for the duration of container lifetime, a separate daemon is required to be running. The same plugin binary can also be run in the daemon mode.
Operation
To use the dhcp IPAM plugin, first launch the dhcp daemon:
# Make sure the unix socket has been removed
$ rm -f /run/cni/dhcp.sock
$ ./dhcp daemon
If given -pidfile <path> arguments after 'daemon', the dhcp plugin will write
its PID to the given file.
Alternatively, you can use systemd socket activation protocol. Be sure that the .socket file uses /run/cni/dhcp.sock as the socket path.
With the daemon running, containers using the dhcp plugin can be launched.
