Intro

This repo contains 'cmd-nsc' a client application for Network Service Mesh.

This README will provide directions for building, testing, and debugging that container.

Usage

cmd-nsc accept following environment variables:

  • NSM_NAME - A string value of network service client name (default "nsc")
  • NSM_CONNECT_TO - A Network service Manager connectTo URL (default "unix:///var/lib/networkservicemesh/nsm.io.sock")
  • NSM_DIAL_TIMEOUT - A timeout to dial Network Service Manager (default 5s)
  • NSM_REQUEST_TIMEOUT - A timeout to request Network Service Endpoint (default 15s)
  • NSM_MAX_TOKEN_LIFETIME - A token lifetime duration (default 24h)
  • NSM_LABELS - A list of client labels with format key1=val1,key2=val2, will be used a primary list for network services
  • NSM_MECHANISM - Default Mechanism to use, supported values "kernel", "vfio"
  • NSM_NETWORK_SERVICES - A list of Network Service Requests URLs with inner format
    • [kernel://]nsName[@domainName]/interfaceName?[label1=value1*(&labelN=valueN)]
    • [vfio://]nsName[@domainName]?[label1=value1*(&labelN=valueN)]
      • nsName - a Network service name requested
      • domainName - an interdomain service name
      • interfaceName - a kernel interface name, for kernel mechanism
      • labelN=valueN - pairs of labels will be passed as a part of the request:
        • sriovToken=service.domain/capability - required label for SR-IOV mechanisms
    • Examples:
      • vpn/if-vpn
        • default mechanism
        • vpn network service
        • if-vpn kernel interface
      • kernel://secure-proxy@cloud2.com/if-proxy?username=jdoe&password=123456
        • kernel mechanism
        • secure-proxy network service at cloud2.com
        • if-proxy kernel interface
        • { username: "jdoe", password: "123456" } request parameters
      • vfio://l2-controller?sriovToken=l2.domain/1G
        • vfio mechanism
        • l2-controller network service
        • { sriovToken: "l2.domain/1G" } request parameters

Build

Build nsmgr binary locally

You can build the locally by executing

go build ./...

Build Docker container

You can build the docker container by running:

docker build .

Testing

Testing Docker container

Testing is run via a Docker container. To run testing run:

docker run --rm $(docker build -q --target test .)

Debugging

Debugging the tests

If you wish to debug the test code itself, that can be acheived by running:

docker run --rm -p 40000:40000 $(docker build -q --target debug .)

This will result in the tests running under dlv. Connecting your debugger to localhost:40000 will allow you to debug.

-p 40000:40000

forwards port 40000 in the container to localhost:40000 where you can attach with your debugger.

--target debug

Runs the debug target, which is just like the test target, but starts tests with dlv listening on port 40000 inside the container.

Debugging

When you run 'nsc' you will see an early line of output that tells you:

Setting env variable DLV_LISTEN_FORWARDER to a valid dlv '--listen' value will cause the dlv debugger to execute this binary and listen as directed.

If you follow those instructions when running the Docker container:

docker run -e DLV_LISTEN_NSMGR=:50000 -p 50000:50000 --rm $(docker build -q --target test .)

-e DLV_LISTEN_NSMGR=:50000 tells docker to set the environment variable DLV_LISTEN_NSMGR to :50000 telling dlv to listen on port 50000.

-p 50000:50000 tells docker to forward port 50000 in the container to port 50000 in the host. From there, you can just connect dlv using your favorite IDE and debug nsc.

Debugging the tests and the nsc

docker run --rm -p 40000:40000 $(docker build -q --target debug .)

Please note, the tests start the nsmgr, so until you connect to port 40000 with your debugger and walk the tests through to the point of running nsmgr, you will not be able to attach a debugger on port 50000 to the nsmgr.
