Documentation for setting Dragonfly's container runtime to Podman.

Prerequisites

Name	Version	Document
Kubernetes cluster	1.20+	kubernetes.io
Helm	v3.8.0+	helm.sh
Podman	v1.5.0+	podman.io

Quick Start

Setup kubernetes cluster

Minikube is recommended if no Kubernetes cluster is available for testing.

Create a Minikube cluster.

minikube start --driver=podman --container-runtime=cri-o

Switch the context of kubectl to minikube cluster:

kubectl config use-context minikube

Minikube loads Dragonfly image

Pull Dragonfly latest images:

docker pull dragonflyoss/scheduler:latest
docker pull dragonflyoss/manager:latest
docker pull dragonflyoss/client:latest
docker pull dragonflyoss/dfinit:latest

Minikube cluster loads Dragonfly latest images:

minikube image load dragonflyoss/scheduler:latest
minikube image load dragonflyoss/manager:latest
minikube image load dragonflyoss/client:latest
minikube image load dragonflyoss/dfinit:latest

Create Dragonfly cluster based on helm charts

Create the Helm Charts configuration file values.yaml. Please refer to the configuration documentation for details.

Create a Dragonfly cluster using the configuration file:

$ helm repo add dragonfly https://dragonflyoss.github.io/helm-charts/
$ helm install --create-namespace --namespace dragonfly-system dragonfly dragonfly/dragonfly -f values.yaml
NAME: dragonfly
LAST DEPLOYED: Mon Apr 28 10:59:19 2024
NAMESPACE: dragonfly-system
STATUS: deployed
REVISION: 1
TEST SUITE: None
NOTES:
1. Get the scheduler address by running these commands:
  export SCHEDULER_POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods --namespace dragonfly-system -l "app=dragonfly,release=dragonfly,component=scheduler" -o jsonpath={.items[0].metadata.name})
  export SCHEDULER_CONTAINER_PORT=$(kubectl get pod --namespace dragonfly-system $SCHEDULER_POD_NAME -o jsonpath="{.spec.containers[0].ports[0].containerPort}")
  kubectl --namespace dragonfly-system port-forward $SCHEDULER_POD_NAME 8002:$SCHEDULER_CONTAINER_PORT
  echo "Visit http://127.0.0.1:8002 to use your scheduler"

2. Get the dfdaemon port by running these commands:
  export DFDAEMON_POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods --namespace dragonfly-system -l "app=dragonfly,release=dragonfly,component=dfdaemon" -o jsonpath={.items[0].metadata.name})
  export DFDAEMON_CONTAINER_PORT=$(kubectl get pod --namespace dragonfly-system $DFDAEMON_POD_NAME -o jsonpath="{.spec.containers[0].ports[0].containerPort}")
  You can use $DFDAEMON_CONTAINER_PORT as a proxy port in Node.

3. Configure runtime to use dragonfly:
  https://d7y.io/docs/getting-started/quick-start/kubernetes/

Check that Dragonfly is deployed successfully:

$ kubectl get po -n dragonfly-system

Podman downloads images through Dragonfly

Pull alpine:3.19 image in minikube node:

docker exec -i minikube /usr/bin/podman pull alpine:3.19

Verify

You can execute the following command to check if the alpine:3.19 image is distributed via Dragonfly.

# Find pod name.
export POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods --namespace dragonfly-system -l "app=dragonfly,release=dragonfly,component=client" -o=jsonpath='{.items[?(@.spec.nodeName=="minikube")].metadata.name}' | head -n 1 )

# Find peer id.
export TASK_ID=$(kubectl -n dragonfly-system exec ${POD_NAME} -- sh -c "grep -hoP 'library/alpine.*task_id=\"\K[^\"]+' /var/log/dragonfly/dfdaemon/* | head -n 1")

# Check logs.
kubectl -n dragonfly-system exec -it ${POD_NAME} -- sh -c "grep ${TASK_ID} /var/log/dragonfly/dfdaemon/* | grep 'download task succeeded'"

The expected output is as follows:

{
  2024-04-19T02:44:09.259458Z  INFO
  "download_task":"dragonfly-client/src/grpc/dfdaemon_download.rs:276":: "download task succeeded"
  "host_id": "172.18.0.3-minikube",
  "task_id": "a46de92fcb9430049cf9e61e267e1c3c9db1f1aa4a8680a048949b06adb625a5",

Install Dragonfly with Binaries

Copy Harbor's ca.crt file to /etc/containers/certs.d/yourdomain.crt.

cp ca.crt /etc/containers/certs.d/yourdomain.crt

Install Dragonfly with Binaries, refer to Binaries.

Setup Manager and configure self-signed certificate

To support preheating for harbor with self-signed certificates, the Manager configuration needs to be modified.

Configure manager.yaml, the default path is /etc/dragonfly/manager.yaml, refer to manager config.

Notice: yourdomain.crt is Harbor's ca.crt.

job:
  # Preheat configuration.
  preheat:
    tls:
      # insecureSkipVerify controls whether a client verifies the server's certificate chain and hostname.
      insecureSkipVerify: false
      # # caCert is the CA certificate for preheat tls handshake, it can be path or PEM format string.
      caCert: /etc/certs/yourdomain.crt

Skip TLS verification, set job.preheat.tls.insecureSkipVerify to true.

job:
  # Preheat configuration.
  preheat:
    tls:
      # insecureSkipVerify controls whether a client verifies the server's certificate chain and hostname.
      insecureSkipVerify: true
      # # caCert is the CA certificate for preheat tls handshake, it can be path or PEM format string.
      # caCert: ''

Setup Dfdaemon as Seed Peer and configure self-signed certificate

Configure dfdaemon.yaml, the default path is /etc/dragonfly/dfdaemon.yaml, refer to dfdaemon config.

manager:
  addr: http://dragonfly-manager:65003
seedPeer:
  enable: true
  type: super
  clusterID: 1
proxy:
  registryMirror:
    # addr is the default address of the registry mirror. Proxy will start a registry mirror service for the
    # client to pull the image. The client can use the default address of the registry mirror in
    # configuration to pull the image. The `X-Dragonfly-Registry` header can instead of the default address
    # of registry mirror.
    addr: https://yourdomain.com
    ## cert is the client cert path with PEM format for the registry.
    ## If registry use self-signed cert, the client should set the
    ## cert for the registry mirror.
    cert: /etc/certs/yourdomain.crt

Setup Dfdaemon as Peer and configure self-signed certificate

Configure dfdaemon.yaml, the default path is /etc/dragonfly/dfdaemon.yaml, refer to dfdaemon config.

manager:
  addr: http://dragonfly-manager:65003
proxy:
  registryMirror:
    # addr is the default address of the registry mirror. Proxy will start a registry mirror service for the
    # client to pull the image. The client can use the default address of the registry mirror in
    # configuration to pull the image. The `X-Dragonfly-Registry` header can instead of the default address
    # of registry mirror.
    addr: https://yourdomain.com
    ## cert is the client cert path with PEM format for the registry.
    ## If registry use self-signed cert, the client should set the
    ## cert for the registry mirror.
    cert: /etc/certs/yourdomain.crt

Configure Podman self-signed certificate

A custom TLS configuration for a container registry can be configured by creating a directory under /etc/containers/certs.d. The name of the directory must correspond to the host:port of the registry (e.g., yourdomain.com:port), refer to containers-certs.d.

cp yourdomain.com.cert /etc/containers/certs.d/yourdomain.com/
cp yourdomain.com.key /etc/containers/certs.d/yourdomain.com/
cp ca.crt /etc/containers/certs.d/yourdomain.com/

The following example illustrates a configuration that uses custom certificates.

/etc/containers/certs.d/    <- Certificate directory
└── yourdomain.com:port     <- Hostname:port
   ├── yourdomain.com.cert  <- Harbor certificate
   ├── yourdomain.com.key   <- Harbor key
   └── ca.crt               <- Certificate authority that signed the registry certificate

Modify your registries.conf (default location: /etc/containers/registries.conf), refer to containers-registries.conf.

Notice: yourdomain.com is the Harbor service address.

[[registry]]
prefix = "yourdomain.com"
location = "yourdomain.com"

[[registry.mirror]]
location = "127.0.0.1:4001"

To bypass the TLS verification for a private registry at yourdomain.com.

[[registry]]
prefix = "yourdomain.com"
location = "yourdomain.com"

[[registry.mirror]]
insecure = true
location = "127.0.0.1:4001"

Restart podman:

systemctl restart crio
