Push, pull and delete of manifest files in the registry have been implemented
on top of the storage services. Basic workflows, including reporting of missing
manifests are tested, including various proposed response codes. Common testing
functionality has been collected into shared methods. A test suite may be
emerging but it might better to capture more edge cases (such as resumable
upload, range requests, etc.) before we commit to a full approach.
To support clearer test cases and simpler handler methods, an application aware
urlBuilder has been added. We may want to export the functionality for use in
the client, which could allow us to abstract away from gorilla/mux.
A few error codes have been added to fill in error conditions missing from the
proposal. Some use cases have identified some problems with the approach to
error reporting that requires more work to reconcile. To resolve this, the
mapping of Go errors into error types needs to pulled out of the handlers and
into the application. We also need to move to type-based errors, with rich
information, rather than value-based errors. ErrorHandlers will probably
replace the http.Handlers to make this work correctly.
Unrelated to the above, the "length" parameter has been migrated to "size" for
completing layer uploads. This change should have gone out before but these
diffs ending up being coupled with the parameter name change due to updates to
the layer unit tests.
This change implements the first pass at image manifest storage on top of the
storagedriver. Very similar to LayerService, its much simpler due to less
complexity of pushing and pulling images.
Various components are still missing, such as detailed error reporting on
missing layers during verification, but the base functionality is present.
This changeset move the Manifest type into the storage package to make the type
accessible to client and registry without import cycles. The structure of the
manifest was also changed to accuratle reflect the stages of the signing
process. A straw man Manifest.Sign method has been added to start testing this
concept out but will probably be accompanied by the more import
SignedManifest.Verify method as the security model develops.
This is probably the start of a concerted effort to consolidate types across
the client and server portions of the code base but we may want to see how such
a handy type, like the Manifest and SignedManifest, would work in docker core.
This changeset defines the application structure to be used for the http side
of the new registry. The main components are the App and Context structs. The
App context is instance global and manages global configuration and resources.
Context contains request-specific resources that may be created as a by-product
of an in-flight request.
To latently construct per-request handlers and leverage gorilla/mux, a dispatch
structure has been propped up next to the main handler flow. Without this, a
router and all handlers need to be constructed on every request. By
constructing handlers on each request, we ensure thread isolation and can
carefully control the security context of in-flight requests. There are unit
tests covering this functionality.
