Re: [atomic-devel] looking for feedback on running kubernetes in system containers



Hello,

I'm working on using system containers for our kubernetes configuration.

What I found a little strange in a solution like [1], is that we don't specify
the version of the component. eg if i do atomic install --system jasonbrooks/kubernetes-kubelet:rawhide
I don't control and I don't know the kubelet version.

If we move to system containers, which containers we need to use?
Is ti recommended to maintain our own container images based on [2]?

Cheers,
Spyros

Hi Jason,

I tried etcd from your branch [2] and with a single change [1], the etcd
system container was a drop-in replacement instead of using etcd
from the package.

[1] I needed to set ETCD_INITIAL_CLUSTER="" since we use
the option ETCD_DISCOVERY and they conflict.
ETCD_INITIAL_CLUSTER is coming from [3]. Maybe we shouldn't
set all these options by default.

yes, this is something that was requested by different users and it
makes sense to change the etcd container to support reading its
configuration from a file as well.

Now that we support copy of files to the host, we can create this file
at installation time and still allow multiple instances of the etcd
container.

It could be placed on the host accordingly to the container name like:
/etc/$NAME/etcd.conf.

The Docker container is already using this feature:

https://github.com/projectatomic/atomic-system-containers/commit/316a5c7587648ae431b6d34255454d407063844b

And for renaming the files (to take into account the container name):

https://github.com/ashcrow/atomic-system-containers/blob/e15222e1240131458d08b5dd85a73ffb1652b79c/docker-centos/manifest.json

For etcd we will need to create the bind mount as well.  In the Docker
case it wasn't needed since we are already bind mounting /etc.
