The `storagedriver/ipc` package provides a client/server protocol for running storage drivers provided in external executables as a managed child server process. -Driver Selection and Configuration -================================== +## Driver Selection and Configuration The preferred method of selecting a storage driver is using the `StorageDriverFactory` interface in the `storagedriver/factory` package. These factories provide a common interface for constructing storage drivers with a parameters map. The factory model is based off of the [Register](http://golang.org/pkg/database/sql/#Register) and [Open](http://golang.org/pkg/database/sql/#Open) methods in the builtin [database/sql](http://golang.org/pkg/database/sql) package. Storage driver factories may be registered by name using the `factory.Register` method, and then later invoked by calling `factory.Create` with a driver name and parameters map. If no driver is registered with the given name, this factory will attempt to find an executable storage driver with the executable name "registry-storage-\" and return an IPC storage driver wrapper managing the driver subprocess. If no such storage driver can be found, `factory.Create` will return an `InvalidStorageDriverError`. -Driver Contribution -=================== +## Driver Contribution -## Writing new storage drivers +### Writing new storage drivers To create a valid storage driver, one must implement the `storagedriver.StorageDriver` interface and make sure to expose this driver via the factory system and as a distributable IPC server executable. -### In-process drivers +#### In-process drivers Storage drivers should call `factory.Register` with their driver name in an `init` method, allowing callers of `factory.New` to construct instances of this driver without requiring modification of imports throughout the codebase. -### Out-of-process drivers +#### Out-of-process drivers As many users will run the registry as a pre-constructed docker container, storage drivers should also be distributable as IPC server executables. Drivers written in go should model the main method provided in `storagedriver/filesystem/registry-storage-filesystem/filesystem.go`. Parameters to IPC drivers will be provided as a JSON-serialized map in the first argument to the process. These parameters should be validated and then a blocking call to `ipc.StorageDriverServer` should be made with a new storage driver. Out-of-process drivers must also implement the `ipc.IPCStorageDriver` interface, which exposes a `Version` check for the storage driver. This is used to validate storage driver api compatibility at driver load-time.
