olric-consul-plugin

This package implements ServiceDiscovery interface of Olric and uses Consul at background. With this plugin, you don't need to maintain a static list of alive peers in the cluster.

Install

Get the code:

go get -u github.com/buraksezer/olric-consul-plugin

Usage

Load as compiled plugin

Build

With a properly configured Go environment:

go build -buildmode=plugin -o consul.so

If you want to strip debug symbols from the produced binary, add -ldflags="-s -w" to build command.

If you prefer to deploy Olric in client-server scenario, add a serviceDiscovery block to your olricd.yaml. A sample:


serviceDiscovery:
  provider: "consul"
  path: "YOUR_PLUGIN_PATH/consul.so"
  address: "http://127.0.0.1:8500"
  passingOnly: true
  replaceExistingChecks: false
  insecureSkipVerify: true
  payload: '
      {
          "Name": "olric-cluster",
          "ID": "olric-node-1",
          "Tags": [
            "primary",
            "v1"
          ],
          "Address": "localhost",
          "Port": MEMBERLIST_PORT,
          "EnableTagOverride": false,
          "check": {
            "name": "Olric node on MEMBERLIST_PORT",
            "tcp": "0.0.0.0:MEMBERLIST_PORT",
            "interval": "10s",
            "timeout": "1s"
          }
      }
'

In embedded member deployment scenario:

// import config package
"github.com/buraksezer/olric/config"

// Get a new Olric config for local environment
c := config.New("local")

// Set service discovery definition
sd := make(map[string]interface{})
sd["provider"] = "consul"
sd["path"] = "YOUR_PLUGIN_PATH/consul.so"
sd["address"] = "http://127.0.0.1:8500"
sd["passingOnly"] = true
sd["payload"] = `{
  "Name": "olric-cluster",
  "ID": "olric-node-1",
  "Tags": [
    "primary",
    "v1"
  ],
  "Address": "localhost",
  "Port": MEMBERLIST_PORT,
  "EnableTagOverride": false,
  "check": {
    "name": "Check Olric node on MEMBERLIST_PORT",
    "tcp": "0.0.0.0:MEMBERLIST_PORT",
    "interval": "1s",
    "timeout": "1s"
  }
}`

c.ServiceDiscovery = sd

Import directly as a library

You can load the plugin directly as a library:

import (
    olricconsul "github.com/buraksezer/olric-consul-plugin/lib"
)

//...
sd := make(map[string]interface{})
sd["plugin"] = &olricconsul.ConsulDiscovery{}
//...

Configuration

This plugin has very few configuration parameters:

Parameter	Description
provider	Name of the service discovery daemon. It's Consul. Just informal
path	Absolute path of the compiled plugin
plugin	Pointer to imported plugin
address	Network address of the service discovery daemon
passingOnly	If you set this `true`, only healthy nodes will be discovered
payload	Service record for Consul
replaceExistingChecks	Missing healthchecks from the request will be deleted from the agent. Using this parameter allows to idempotently register a service and its checks without having to manually deregister checks.
insecureSkipVerify	Controls whether a client verifies the server's certificate chain and host name. If insecureSkipVerify is true, TLS accepts any certificate presented by the server and any host name in that certificate.

Please note that you cannot set plugin and path simultaneously. Olric chooses path if you set both of them.
