flocker-docker-plugin doesn't work - ssl

Question

I have 2 centos 7.1 nodes and I'm trying to get flocker running on it. I've followed the installation steps exactly however when it comes to running the following command to test to see if flocker-docker-plugin works:
docker run -v apples:/data --volume-driver flocker busybox sh -c "echo hello > /data/file.txt"
I get the error:
Error response from daemon: Error looking up volume plugin flocker: Plugin not found
The flocker-docker-plugin logs show the following:

Starting Flocker Docker Plugin...
Also running uft-flocker-volumes --control-service=foo.bar.net list-nodes returns:
jonathan#ubuntu:~/Flocker/sc-test-cluster$ uft-flocker-volumes --control-service=foo.bar.com list-nodes
Unhandled Error
Traceback (most recent call last):

Update:
I tried downgrading to docker 1.8.2 and tried rerunning the command, didn't work, same error.
Output of ls /etc/flocker:
[root#sc-test2 jonathan]# ls /etc/flocker
agent.yml cluster.crt node.crt node.key plugin.crt plugin.key
[root#sc-test1 jonathan]# ls /etc/flocker
agent.yml control-service.crt node.crt plugin.crt
cluster.crt control-service.key node.key plugin.key
Update:1/1/2016
I set the following environment variables as per the kubernetes docs http://kubernetes.io/v1.1/examples/flocker/.
export FLOCKER_CONTROL_SERVICE_HOST=foo.bar.com
export FLOCKER_CONTROL_SERVICE_CA_FILE=/etc/flocker/cluster.crt
export FLOCKER_CONTROL_SERVICE_CLIENT_CERT_FILE=/etc/flocker/node.crt
export FLOCKER_CONTROL_SERVICE_CLIENT_KEY_FILE=/etc/flocker/node.key
export FLOCKER_CONTROL_SERVICE_PORT=4523
And I got a different error when running the command
jonathan#ubuntu:~/Flocker/sc-test-cluster$ uft-flocker-volumes --control-service=sc-test1.cloudapp.net list-nodes
wget: error getting response: Connection reset by peer
===========================================================================
Unable to establish network connectivity from inside a container.
If you see an error message above, that may give you a clue how to fix it.
If you run docker in a VM, restarting the VM often helps, especially if
you have changed network (and/or DNS servers) since starting the VM.
If you are using docker-machine (e.g. as part of docker toolbox), you can
run the following command (or similar) to do that:
docker-machine restart default && eval $(docker-machine env default)
To ignore this check, and proceed anyway (e.g. if you know you are offline)
set IGNORE_NETWORK_CHECK=1
===========================================================================
So I set the flag to see what happens:
jonathan#ubuntu:~/Flocker/sc-test-cluster$ export IGNORE_NETWORK_CHECK=1
And bam! The same error :(
jonathan#ubuntu:~/Flocker/sc-test-cluster$ uft-flocker-volumes --control-service=sc-test1.cloudapp.net list-nodes
Unhandled Error
Traceback (most recent call last):
Failure: twisted.web._newclient.ResponseNeverReceived: [<twisted.python.failure.Failure <class 'OpenSSL.SSL.Error'>>]
Is the wget error a helpful clue as to what may be happening?

Answer 1

Error response from daemon: Error looking up volume plugin flocker: Plugin not found
This might be due to the control-service hostname on the agent.yml is not configured correctly. Make sure it's the host of the control-server node, not the agent node itself.
