When requesting information about the daemon's configuration through the `/info` endpoint, missing features (or non-recommended settings) may have to be presented to the user. Detecting these situations, and printing warnings currently is handled by the cli, which results in some complications: - duplicated effort: each client has to re-implement detection and warnings. - it's not possible to generate warnings for reasons outside of the information returned in the `/info` response. - cli-side detection has to be updated for new conditions. This means that an older cli connecting to a new daemon may not print all warnings (due to it not detecting the new conditions) - some warnings (in particular, warnings about storage-drivers) depend on driver-status (`DriverStatus`) information. The format of the information returned in this field is not part of the API specification and can change over time, resulting in cli-side detection no longer being functional. This patch adds a new `Warnings` field to the `/info` response. This field is to return warnings to be presented by the user. Existing warnings that are currently handled by the CLI are copied to the daemon as part of this patch; This change is backward-compatible with existing clients; old client can continue to use the client-side warnings, whereas new clients can skip client-side detection, and print warnings that are returned by the daemon. Example response with this patch applied; ```bash curl --unix-socket /var/run/docker.sock http://localhost/info | jq .Warnings ``` ```json [ "WARNING: bridge-nf-call-iptables is disabled", "WARNING: bridge-nf-call-ip6tables is disabled" ] ``` Signed-off-by: Sebastiaan van Stijn <github@gone.nl> Upstream-commit: a3d4238b9ce653d2863fbc93057ed4162a83221e Component: engine
The Moby Project
Moby is an open-source project created by Docker to enable and accelerate software containerization.
It provides a "Lego set" of toolkit components, the framework for assembling them into custom container-based systems, and a place for all container enthusiasts and professionals to experiment and exchange ideas. Components include container build tools, a container registry, orchestration tools, a runtime and more, and these can be used as building blocks in conjunction with other tools and projects.
Principles
Moby is an open project guided by strong principles, aiming to be modular, flexible and without too strong an opinion on user experience. It is open to the community to help set its direction.
- Modular: the project includes lots of components that have well-defined functions and APIs that work together.
- Batteries included but swappable: Moby includes enough components to build fully featured container system, but its modular architecture ensures that most of the components can be swapped by different implementations.
- Usable security: Moby provides secure defaults without compromising usability.
- Developer focused: The APIs are intended to be functional and useful to build powerful tools. They are not necessarily intended as end user tools but as components aimed at developers. Documentation and UX is aimed at developers not end users.
Audience
The Moby Project is intended for engineers, integrators and enthusiasts looking to modify, hack, fix, experiment, invent and build systems based on containers. It is not for people looking for a commercially supported system, but for people who want to work and learn with open source code.
Relationship with Docker
The components and tools in the Moby Project are initially the open source components that Docker and the community have built for the Docker Project. New projects can be added if they fit with the community goals. Docker is committed to using Moby as the upstream for the Docker Product. However, other projects are also encouraged to use Moby as an upstream, and to reuse the components in diverse ways, and all these uses will be treated in the same way. External maintainers and contributors are welcomed.
The Moby project is not intended as a location for support or feature requests for Docker products, but as a place for contributors to work on open source code, fix bugs, and make the code more useful. The releases are supported by the maintainers, community and users, on a best efforts basis only, and are not intended for customers who want enterprise or commercial support; Docker EE is the appropriate product for these use cases.
