Docker container lifecycle management (mgt=docker, mkdocker, rmdocker,
lsdocker) was added in 2015-2016 as an experiment targeting Docker API
v1.22 on Ubuntu only. Documentation and man pages were deliberately
removed in 2019 (PRs #6222 and #6324) with the original developer's
approval, noting that "the interface of Docker has become very simple
right now, so there is no value for xCAT to offer such functions."
The plugin was still being shipped but has had no functional code changes
since April 2016, was never listed as a valid mgt value in Schema.pm,
and no user ever filed an issue about it.
Removed:
- xCAT-server/lib/xcat/plugins/docker.pm (1,142 lines)
- xCAT/postscripts/setupdockerhost
- xCAT-server/share/xcat/scripts/setup-dockerhost-cert.sh
- xCAT-test/autotest/testcase/dockercommand/ (test cases)
- Docker attribute definitions in Schema.pm
- Client symlinks (mkdocker, rmdocker, lsdocker)
- Usage entries and dockerhost cert handling in credentials.pm
- Docker attribute documentation in man7 pages
The "Running xCAT in Docker" documentation (dockerized_xcat/) is
retained as it documents containerizing xCAT itself, not the removed
mgt=docker feature.
Closes#7518
This patch redesign the original getadapter plugins. Currently,
getadapter do not work as a common command but only a chain command
works during discovery.
Currently the getadapter implementation store the nics information
in multiple files. This implementaion will store the records in the
database and add the following changes:
1. Add taskstate table to record the getadapter request.
2. Add route_request hook in xcatd to avoid of too much process.
3. Add adapterinfo column to keep the adapter information.
4. Use fifo pipe to send/recv the adapter message and wake up the waiting process.
5. Use alarm signal to handle the timeout event.
from the builds. Also remove the changelog because that file is going
to be ignored from the source tree. Ubuntu builds are being done
in the xcat-core directory and causing issues when we are switching
between releases. Should probably change the builds scripts as a longer
term solution
