When mapping a port with the userland-proxy enabled, the daemon would
perform an "exec.LookPath" for every mapped port (which, in case of
a range of ports, would be for every port in the range).
This was both inefficient (looking up the binary for each port), inconsistent
(when running in rootless-mode, the binary was looked-up once), as well as
inconvenient, because a missing binary, or a mis-configureed userland-proxy-path
would not be detected daeemon startup, and not produce an error until starting
the container;
docker run -d -P nginx:alpine
4f7b6589a1680f883d98d03db12203973387f9061e7a963331776170e4414194

However, the container would still be created (but invalid);
docker ps -a

This patch changes how the userland-proxy is configured;
- The path of the userland-proxy is now looked up / configured at daemon
startup; this is similar to how the proxy is configured in rootless-mode.
- A warning is logged when failing to lookup the binary.
- If the daemon is configured with "userland-proxy" enabled, an error is
produced, and the daemon will refuse to start.
- The "proxyPath" argument for newProxyCommand() (in libnetwork/portmapper)
is now required to be set. It no longer looks up the executable, and
produces an error if no path was provided. While this change was not
required, it makes the daemon config the canonical source of truth, instead
of logic spread accross multiplee locations.
Some of this logic is a change of behavior, but these changes were made with
the assumption that we don't want to support;
- installing the userland proxy _after_ the daemon was started
- moving the userland proxy (or installing a proxy with a higher
preference in PATH)
With this patch:
Validating the config produces an error if the binary is not found:
dockerd --validate
WARN[2023-12-29T11:36:39.748699591Z] failed to lookup default userland-proxy binary error="exec: \"docker-proxy\": executable file not found in $PATH"
userland-proxy is enabled, but userland-proxy-path is not set
Disabling userland-proxy prints a warning, but validates as "OK":
dockerd --userland-proxy=false --validate
WARN[2023-12-29T11:38:30.752523879Z] ffailed to lookup default userland-proxy binary error="exec: \"docker-proxy\": executable file not found in $PATH"
configuration OK
Speficying a non-absolute path produces an error:
dockerd --userland-proxy-path=docker-proxy --validate
invalid userland-proxy-path: must be an absolute path: docker-proxy
Befor this patch, we would not validate this path, which would allow the daemon
to start, but fail to map a port;
docker run -d -P nginx:alpine
4f7b6589a1680f883d98d03db12203973387f9061e7a963331776170e4414194

Specifying an invalid userland-proxy-path produces an error as well:
dockerd --userland-proxy-path=/usr/local/bin/no-such-binary --validate

dockerd --validate
