* hooks: Add pre-create hooks for runtime-config manipulationW. Trevor King2019-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's been a lot of discussion over in [1] about how to support the NVIDIA folks and others who want to be able to create devices (possibly after having loaded kernel modules) and bind userspace libraries into the container. Currently that's happening in the middle of runc's create-time mount handling before the container pivots to its new root directory with runc's incorrectly-timed prestart hook trigger [2]. With this commit, we extend hooks with a 'precreate' stage to allow trusted parties to manipulate the config JSON before calling the runtime's 'create'. I'm recycling the existing Hook schema from pkg/hooks for this, because we'll want Timeout for reliability and When to avoid the expense of fork/exec when a given hook does not need to make config changes [3].

* add container-init supportValentin Rothberg2019-01-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for executing an init binary as PID 1 in a container to forward signals and reap processes. When the `--init` flag is set for podman-create or podman-run, the init binary is bind-mounted to `/dev/init` in the container and "/dev/init --" is prepended to the container's command. The default base path of the container-init binary is `/usr/libexec/podman` while the default binary is catatonit [1]. This default can be changed permanently via the `init_path` field in the `libpod.conf` configuration file (which is recommended for packaging) or temporarily via the `--init-path` flag of podman-create and podman-run.

* libpod/container_internal: Deprecate implicit hook directoriesW. Trevor King2018-12-03

But we'd also been disabling hooks completely for rootless users. And even for root users, the override logic was tricky when folks actually had content in both directories. For example, if you wanted to disable a hook from the default directory, you'd have to add a no-op hook to the override directory. Also, the previous implementation failed to handle the case where there hooks defined in the override directory but the default directory did not exist: $ podman version Version: 0.11.2-dev Go Version: go1.10.3 Git Commit: "6df7409cb5a41c710164c42ed35e33b28f3f7214" Built: Sun Dec 2 21:30:06 2018 OS/Arch: linux/amd64 $ ls -l /etc/containers/oci/hooks.d/test.json -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 184 Dec 2 16:27 /etc/containers/oci/hooks.d/test.json $ podman --log-level=debug run --rm docker.io/library/alpine echo 'successful container' 2>&1 | grep -i hook time="2018-12-02T21:31:19-08:00" level=debug msg="reading hooks from /usr/share/containers/oci/hooks.d" time="2018-12-02T21:31:19-08:00" level=warning msg="failed to load hooks: {}%!(EXTRA *os.PathError=open /usr/share/containers/oci/hooks.d: no such file or directory)" With this commit: $ podman --log-level=debug run --rm docker.io/library/alpine echo 'successful container' 2>&1 | grep -i hook time="2018-12-02T21:33:07-08:00" level=debug msg="reading hooks from /usr/share/containers/oci/hooks.d" time="2018-12-02T21:33:07-08:00" level=debug msg="reading hooks from /etc/containers/oci/hooks.d" time="2018-12-02T21:33:07-08:00" level=debug msg="added hook /etc/containers/oci/hooks.d/test.json" time="2018-12-02T21:33:07-08:00" level=debug msg="hook test.json matched; adding to stages [prestart]" time="2018-12-02T21:33:07-08:00" level=warning msg="implicit hook directories are deprecated; set --hooks-dir="/etc/containers/oci/hooks.d" explicitly to continue to load hooks from this directory" time="2018-12-02T21:33:07-08:00" level=error msg="container create failed: container_linux.go:336: starting container process caused "process_linux.go:399: container init caused \"process_linux.go:382: running prestart hook 0 caused \\\"error running hook: exit status 1, stdout: , stderr: oh, noes!\\\\n\\\"\"" (I'd setup the hook to error out). You can see that it's silenly ignoring the ENOENT for /usr/share/containers/oci/hooks.d and continuing on to load hooks from /etc/containers/oci/hooks.d. When it loads the hook, it also logs a warning-level message suggesting that callers explicitly configure their hook directories. That will help consumers migrate, so we can drop the implicit hook directories in some future release. When folks *do* explicitly configure hook directories (via the newly-public --hooks-dir and hooks_dir options), we error out if they're missing: $ podman --hooks-dir /does/not/exist run --rm docker.io/library/alpine echo 'successful container' error setting up OCI Hooks: open /does/not/exist: no such file or directory I've dropped the trailing "path" from the old, hidden --hooks-dir-path and hooks_dir_path because I think "dir(ectory)" is already enough context for "we expect a path argument". I consider this name change non-breaking because the old forms were undocumented. Coming back to rootless users, I've enabled hooks now. I expect they were previously disabled because users had no way to avoid /usr/share/containers/oci/hooks.d which might contain hooks that required root permissions. But now rootless users will have to explicitly configure hook directories, and since their default config is from ~/.config/containers/libpod.conf, it's a misconfiguration if it contains hooks_dir entries which point at directories with hooks that require root access. We error out so they can fix their libpod.conf. [1]: https://github.com/containers/libpod/pull/1487#discussion_r218149355 Signed-off-by: W. Trevor King <wking@tremily.us>
