- logDriver option, use journald for logging by default
- keep storage driver intact by default, as docker has sane defaults
- do not choose storage driver in tests, docker will choose by itself
- use dockerd binary as "docker daemon" command is deprecated and will be
removed
- add overlay2 to list of storage drivers
We need to use wrapped modprobe, so that it finds the right
modules. Docker needs modprobe to load overlay kernel module
for example.
This fixes an an error starting docker if the booted system's kernel
version is different from the /run/current-system profile's one.
The docker module used different code for socket-activated docker daemon than for the non-socket activated daemon.
In particular, if the socket-activated daemon is used, then modprobe wasn't set up to be usable and in PATH for
the docker daemon, which resulted in a failure to start the daemon with overlayfs as storageDriver if the
`overlay` kernel module wasn't already loaded. This commit fixes that bug (which only appears if socket
activation is used), and also reduces the duplication between code paths so that it's easier to keep
both in sync in future.
Commit 9bfe92ecee ("docker: Minor improvements, fix failing test") added
the services.docker.storageDriver option, made it mandatory but didn't
give it a default value. This results in an ugly traceback when users
enable docker, if they don't pay enough attention to also set the
storageDriver option. (An attempt was made to add an assertion, but it
didn't work, possibly because of how "mkMerge" works.)
The arguments against a default value were that the optimal value
depends on the filesystem on the host. This is, AFAICT, only in part
true. (It seems some backends are filesystem agnostic.) Also, docker
itself uses a default storage driver, "devicemapper", when no
--storage-driver=x options are given. Hence, we use the same value as
default.
Add a FIXME comment that 'devicemapper' breaks NixOS VM tests (for yet
unknown reasons), so we still run those with the 'overlay' driver.
Closes #10100 and #10217.
When using the ZFS storagedriver in docker, it shells out for the ZFS
commands. The path configuration for the systemd task does not include
ZFS, so if the driver is set to ZFS, add ZFS utilities to the PATH.
This will resolve https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/10127
[Bjørn: prefix commit message with "nixos/docker:", remove extra space
before ';']
This version of module has disabled socketActivation, because until
nixos upgrade systemd to at least 214, systemd does not support
SocketGroup. So socket is created with "root" group when
socketActivation enabled. Should be fixed as soon as systemd upgraded.
Includes changes from #3015 and supersedes #3028
