Temporary failure in name resolution for service name when using docker compose with podman #24566

taladar · 2024-11-14T15:22:08Z

Issue Description

A docker-compose file that worked fine on podman 5.2.5 (and works fine again when downgrading to 5.2.5) is broken on 5.3.0 because the service gets a reproducible "Temporary failure in name resolution" error when trying to lookup the database container name.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Create docker-compose.yml

name: repro

services:
    database:
      image: debian:bookworm
      init: true
      stop_grace_period: 0s
      command: ["sleep", "60"]
    dnstest:
      image: debian:bookworm
      init: true
      stop_grace_period: 0s
      command: ["getent", "hosts", "database"]

Run docker compose up --abort-on-container-exit
Observe getent exit with status 0 on podman 5.2.5, with status 2 (One or more supplied key could not be found in the database) on podman 5.3.0, oddly enough in both cases an IP/host combination is printed but in the usual DNS APIs this difference results in "Temporary failure in name resolution"
Cleanup with docker compose down

Describe the results you received

With DNS lookups in 5.3.0 I get an error when looking up one of the names of other services in the docker-compose.yml

Describe the results you expected

With DNS lookups in 5.2.5 I do get the hostname resolved to the IP of the container as I would expect.

Can you provide the full error output? It is not clear to me what the expect error situation is.

This seems to work for me using podman from main

One thing to note here AFAICT both containers are created and started in parallel by compose so there is no dependency as such if the dnstest container is created and started before the database is running it would not resolve the name.

taladar · 2024-11-14T17:42:55Z

Oops, I guess i left out the depends_on part when trying to minimize this but the actual use case has that bit.

Luap99 · 2024-11-15T11:02:15Z

Ok I managed to reproduce it. The key seems to be to have another container with dns running before, i.e.

$ podman network create n1
$ podman run -d --network n1 docker.io/library/debian:bookworm sleep inf

Then your reproducer seem to work, I don't really know of any 5.3network chnages that would affect this but I guess I try to bisect it.

Luap99 · 2024-11-15T12:31:24Z

I think this is a upgrade issue. The new version causes a nil deref as it is expecting data to be written on rootless-netns setup that was not written with 5.2.
Can you update to 5.3 again then stop all your containers and make sure /run/user/$UID/containers/networks/rootless-netns/ is empty or does not exists. Then start the containers again and it should just work again. Or just reboot which also clears out the old state as it is on a tmpfs

I will submit a fix for the nil deref but it is best to restart in order to get the new functionality of host.containers.internal (https://blog.podman.io/2024/10/podman-5-3-changes-for-improved-networking-experience-with-pasta/)

Simple reproducer using 5.2.5 and podman 5.3.0 as bin/podman

I can confirm that an upgrade to 5.3.0 followed by a reboot does not exhibit the problem anymore.

Thank you for the quick help.

In theory RootlessNetnsInfo() should never return nil here. However that was actually only true when the rootless netns was set up before and wrote the right cache file with the ip addresses. Given this cache file is a new feature just added in 5.3 if you updated from 5.2 or earlier the file will not exists thus cause failures for all following started containers. The fix for this is to stop all containers and make sure the rootless-netns was removed so the next start creates it new with the proper 5.3 cache file. However as there is no way to rely on users doing that and it is also not requirement so simply handle the nil deref here. The only way to test this would be to run the old version then the new version which we cannot really do in CI. We do have upgrade test for that but they are root only and likely need a lot more work to get them going rootless but certainly worth to explore to prevent such problems in the future.
