HI Hua,

From my point of view, not everything needed to be put in container. Let's
make the initial start (be simple)to work and then discussed other options
if needed in IRC or weekly meeting.


Thanks

Best Wishes,

Hi all,

If we want to run etcd and flannel in container, we will
introduce docker-bootstrap which makes setup become more complex as Egor
pointed out. Should we pay for the price?

  Wanghua,

  I don’t think moving flannel to the container is good idea. This is setup
  great for dev environment, but become too complex from operator point of
  view (you add extra Docker daemon and need extra Cinder volume for this
  daemon, also
  keep in mind it makes sense to keep etcd data folder at Cinder storage as
  well because etcd is database). flannel has just there files without
  extra dependencies and it’s much easy to download it during cloud-init ;)

  I agree that we have pain with building Fedora Atomic images, but instead
  of simplify this process we should switch to another more “friendly”
  images (e.g. Fedora/CentOS/Ubuntu) which we can easy build with disk
  builder.
  Also we can fix CoreOS template (I believe people more asked about it
  instead of Atomic), but we may face similar to Atomic issues when we will
  try to integrate not CoreOS products (e.g. Calico or Weave)

  Hi Hongbin,

  The docker in master node stores data
  in /dev/mapper/atomicos-docker--data and metadata
  in /dev/mapper/atomicos-docker--meta. /dev/mapper/atomicos-docker--data
  and /dev/mapper/atomicos-docker--meta are logic volumes. The docker in
  minion node store data in the cinder volume,
  but /dev/mapper/atomicos-docker--meta
  and /dev/mapper/atomicos-docker--meta are not used. If we want to
  leverage Cinder volume for docker in master, should we
  drop /dev/mapper/atomicos-docker--meta
  and /dev/mapper/atomicos-docker--meta? I think it is not necessary to
  allocate a Cinder volume. It is enough to allocate two logic volumes for
  docker, because only etcd, flannel, k8s run in the docker daemon which
  need not a large amount of storage.

  Best regards,
  Wanghua

  Here is a bit more context.

  Currently, at k8s and swarm bay, some required binaries (i.e. etcd and
  flannel) are built into image and run at host. We are exploring the
  possibility to containerize some of these system components. The
  rationales are (i) it is infeasible to build custom packages into an
  atomic image and (ii) it is infeasible to upgrade individual component.
  For example, if there is a bug in current version of flannel and we know
  the bug was fixed in the next version, we need to upgrade flannel by
  building a new image, which is a tedious process.

  To containerize flannel, we need a second docker daemon, called
  docker-bootstrap [1]. In this setup, pods are running on the main docker
  daemon, and flannel and etcd are running on the second docker daemon. The
  reason is that flannel needs to manage the network of the main docker
  daemon, so it needs to run on a separated daemon.

  Daneyon, I think it requires separated storage because it needs to run a
  separated docker daemon (unless there is a way to make two docker daemons
  share the same storage).

  Wanghua, is it possible to leverage Cinder volume for that. Leveraging
  external storage is always preferred [2].

  Subject: [openstack-dev] [magnum]storage for docker-bootstrap

  Hi all,

  I am working on containerizing etcd and flannel. But I met a problem. As
  described in [1], we need a docker-bootstrap. Docker and docker-bootstrap
  can not use the same storage, so we need some disk space for it.

  I reviewed [1] and I do not see where the bootstrap docker instance
  requires separate storage.

  The docker in master node stores data
  in /dev/mapper/atomicos-docker--data and metadata
  in /dev/mapper/atomicos-docker--meta. The disk space left is too same for
  docker-bootstrap. Even if the root_gb of the instance flavor is 20G, only
  8G can be used in our image. I want to make it bigger. One way is we can
  add the disk space left in the vda as vda3 into atomicos vg after the
  instance starts and we allocate two logic volumes for docker-bootstrap.
  Another way is when we create the image, we allocate two logic volumes
  for docker-bootstrap. The second way has a advantage. It doesn't have to
  make filesystem when the instance is created which is time consuming.

  What is your opinion?

  Best Regards
  Wanghua
