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
- support xcat_secure_pw:<user> API in credential plugin
- for diskless, if enabled secure root, packimage will not write root password into image
- for stateful, if enabled secure root, nodeset will not write root password into config file
- and 'remoteshell' will update shadow file accordingly
- clear logs in the key components during provisioning (not only debug mode, but debug mode will have more logs)
- now only cover rhel7 stateful and stateless
- make more syslogs into cluster.log (tag = xcat or xcat.*)
- the changes will not impact other distro
-Implement 'getcredentials' for a krb5 keytab, requires documentation
-Have getcredentials.awk fundamentally capable of requesting multiple credentials in a single request (theoretical scaling)
