CNI plugins for Consul connect

[akshatgit]

Just wanted to know if this is in pipeline. We want to use Consul connect and for this, there is a requirement for CNI plugins installation on Nomad. Ref: https://www.nomadproject.io/docs/integrations/consul-connect

Thanks Akshat

I don't think the CNI plugin should be included in this module. We use a role/profile module to manage the nomad module and then install the cni plugins separatley

  class { '::nomad':
    version     => $version,
    config_hash => deep_merge($config_hash,$config)
  }

  file { '/opt/cni':
    ensure => directory,
    owner => 'nomad',
    group => 'nomad',
  } ->
  file { '/opt/cni/bin':
    ensure => directory,
    owner => 'nomad',
    group => 'nomad',
  } ->
  archive { 'cni-plugins':
    path => '/tmp/cni-plugins.tgz',
    source => 'https://github.com/containernetworking/plugins/releases/download/v0.8.5/cni-plugins-linux-amd64-v0.8.5.tgz',
    extract => true,
    extract_path => '/opt/cni/bin/',
    cleanup => true,
    creates => '/opt/cni/bin/flannel'
  }

Hi @spuder, thanks for sharing this. This looks like a good workaround. But I still think we should include it in the module. Systems where we require cni plugins, we can just include it. If you think this is not required, please close this issue.

Thanks, Akshat

personally i have it install from a profile as well, however i do feel there might be a place for it in this module however. But in a separate class and or behind a feature switch
