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
When mkdef is called with an object name but no attributes (e.g.
mkdef -t node -o mynode), setFINALattrs produces an empty hash
and the OBJ loop has nothing to iterate. The code falls through to
"0 object definitions have been created or modified" with no
explanation of what went wrong.
Add a check after setFINALattrs: if FINALATTRS is empty, tell the
user what's missing. For nodes, mention that 'groups' is required.
Fixes#2765
When a test case file is missing the end marker and the last line is a
cmd: directive, $newcmdstart stays set. The parser then appends lines
from the next file into the current command. If that next file is a
shell script (like simulatorctl.sh in the testcase tree), thousands of
lines of Perl/bash get concatenated and executed.
Reset $newcmdstart after closing each file to prevent state leaking
between files.
Fixes#5255
Fix warning in xCAT/xCAT.spec about macro inside comments
