* systemd: require network*-online*.targetValentin Rothberg2021-07-16
| | | | | | | | | Require the network to be online in all (generated) systemd units to make sure that containers and Podman run only after the network has been fully configured. Fixes: #10655 Signed-off-by: Valentin Rothberg <rothberg@redhat.com>
* Randomize the auto-update of podman containersrugk2021-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | This makes sure, that the podman auto-update is not executed exactly at midnight for the same time always. If many things do the same and many services use this keyword and react at midnight, this can cause a lot of stress to a server. Thus, this adds a 900s/15min delay. As [the arch wiki says](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd/Timers#Realtime_timer): > Special event expressions like daily and weekly refer to specific start times and thus any timers sharing such calendar events will start simultaneously. Timers sharing start events can cause poor system performance if the timers' services compete for system resources. The RandomizedDelaySec option in the [Timer] section avoids this problem by randomly staggering the start time of each timer. See systemd.timer(5). Signed-off-by: rugk <rugk+git@posteo.de>
* auto-update service: prune imagesValentin Rothberg2021-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Extend the systemd auto-update service to prune images after an update has run. As reported by a user [1], auto updates can over time cause the disk to run out of space. With Edge being a target use case, we need to make sure that systems can run without much supervision, so let's make sure to run `podman image prune` to clean up dangling images.

* auto updatesValentin Rothberg2020-03-17
Add support to auto-update containers running in systemd units as generated with `podman generate systemd --new`. `podman auto-update` looks up containers with a specified "io.containers.autoupdate" label (i.e., the auto-update policy). If the label is present and set to "image", Podman reaches out to the corresponding registry to check if the image has been updated. We consider an image to be updated if the digest in the local storage is different than the one of the remote image. If an image must be updated, Podman pulls it down and restarts the container. Note that the restarting sequence relies on systemd. At container-creation time, Podman looks up the "PODMAN_SYSTEMD_UNIT" environment variables and stores it verbatim in the container's label. This variable is now set by all systemd units generated by `podman-generate-systemd` and is set to `%n` (i.e., the name of systemd unit starting the container). This data is then being used in the auto-update sequence to instruct systemd (via DBUS) to restart the unit and hence to restart the container. Note that this implementation of auto-updates relies on systemd and requires a fully-qualified image reference to be used to create the container. This enforcement is necessary to know which image to actually check and pull. If we used an image ID, we would not know which image to check/pull anymore.
