Tells the proxy not to do anything with this container. We set it when
running weaveexec/weave/etc containers, so that the weave script works
through the proxy.
Pass `-e WEAVE_CIDR=` to your container to use IPAM. If IPAM is not
enabled on the weave router, the container will be booted without weave
networking.
I'm not crazy about adding *another* undocumented weave cli command
(ipam-cidr), but it saves the proxy messing around finding container
IPs.
Bug came up in a test where we are restarting and doing an exec checking
a network interface right away. weavewait is only added if the container
has a WEAVE_CIDR var set, the same as at container creation.
In the proxy, I swapped the 'flag' library for
'code.google.com/p/getopt', which uses double-dash flags.
proxy lets 'weave attach' do dns registration on container start
proxy needs to set DNSSearch if not specified
This adds a docker remote API proxy to the weaveexec image. The proxy
has hooks for (post-) container start and (pre-) container create; the
former attaches a weave interface to a container given a WEAVE_CIDR
environment entry, and the latter adjusts the entrypoint of a container
to wait for the ethwe interface.
Notes:
None of the hooks need to inspect/change large bodies. In order to avoid
a crash when handling images larger than memory we need to ensure that
the entire request body is never loaded into memory (i.e. No
ioutils.ReadAll).
When proxying a raw-stream response, we can't use http.WriteHeader. It
sets the Transfer-Encoding to chunked, which will throw off the clients.
Instead we have to hijack the socket, and write out http status code
manually.
For chunked transfer-encodings, clients (docker-py) depend on each http
chunk containing exactly one JSON object. Therefore, we cannot re-chunk
the body, and have to pass it across verbatim.
Proxy needs to pass multi-cidrs separately when calling weave. Otherwise
they get smashed together on the command line, and the call fails.
When creating the image, if no entrypoint is specified on the container,
it should use the entrypoint of the image. Code for this is based on
powerstrip-weave.
We handle WEAVE_CIDR='' by acting like it is not set. The reason being,
that because WEAVE_CIDR is inherited from images (along with env vars),
setting it to blank is equivalent to unsetting it.
