* Initial implementation of volume pluginsMatthew Heon2021-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This implements support for mounting and unmounting volumes backed by volume plugins. Support for actually retrieving plugins requires a pull request to land in containers.conf and then that to be vendored, and as such is not yet ready. Given this, this code is only compile tested. However, the code for everything past retrieving the plugin has been written - there is support for creating, removing, mounting, and unmounting volumes, which should allow full functionality once the c/common PR is merged. A major change is the signature of the MountPoint function for volumes, which now, by necessity, returns an error. Named volumes managed by a plugin do not have a mountpoint we control; instead, it is managed entirely by the plugin. As such, we need to cache the path in the DB, and calls to retrieve it now need to access the DB (and may fail as such). Notably absent is support for SELinux relabelling and chowning these volumes. Given that we don't manage the mountpoint for these volumes, I am extremely reluctant to try and modify it - we could easily break the plugin trying to chown or relabel it. Also, we had no less than *5* separate implementations of inspecting a volume floating around in pkg/infra/abi and pkg/api/handlers/libpod. And none of them used volume.Inspect(), the only correct way of inspecting volumes. Remove them all and consolidate to using the correct way. Compat API is likely still doing things the wrong way, but that is an issue for another day. Fixes #4304 Signed-off-by: Matthew Heon <matthew.heon@pm.me>
* Add API for communicating with Docker volume pluginsMatthew Heon2020-12-01
Docker provides extensibility through a plugin system, of which several types are available. This provides an initial library API for communicating with one type of plugins, volume plugins. Volume plugins allow for an external service to create and manage a volume on Podman's behalf. This does not integrate the plugin system into Libpod or Podman yet; that will come in subsequent pull requests. Signed-off-by: Matthew Heon <mheon@redhat.com>
