Description

Before downloading & installing the image for the current container, crunch-run should:
  • Check current usage (size of docker images already present on the worker)
  • Check whether the image for the current container is already installed; if not, add the estimated image size to the current usage figure
  • Check whether any other crunch-run processes are running (if so, skip cleanup to avoid races where an image is deleted between "download" and "start" -- or handle the race in some other way)
  • Delete old images as needed to ensure current usage ≤ maximum
  • Don't delete images needed for the current container
This feature eliminates the need for the docker-cleaner service, so we also need to
  • Remove docker-cleaner from the install docs
  • Add "uninstall docker-cleaner" to the upgrade notes
  • Remove docker-cleaner parts from package build/test scripts
  • Remove docker-cleaner from the source tree

Ops can temporarily disable cleanup by putting the worker in "hold" state: new containers won't be scheduled, so cleanup won't run.

It might work better to clean up before downloading the current image, rather than after the container exits:
  • if crunch-run gets killed before it has a chance to clean up, that doesn't affect the prospects of future containers
  • we have more information about how much space we need to make for the next (current) container's image
  • we can avoid deleting image(s) that will be immediately re-downloaded anyway because they're needed by the next/current container
  • arvados-dispatch-cloud's "hold instance" API ("don't shutdown or run more containers") makes the "don't cleanup after" flag unnecessary
