- logDriver option, use journald for logging by default
- keep storage driver intact by default, as docker has sane defaults
- do not choose storage driver in tests, docker will choose by itself
- use dockerd binary as "docker daemon" command is deprecated and will be
removed
- add overlay2 to list of storage drivers
The docker service is socket activated by default; thus,
`waitForUnit("docker.service")` before any docker command causes the
unit test to time out.
Instead, do `waitForUnit("sockets.target")` to ensure that sockets are
setup before running docker commands.
Commit 9bfe92ecee ("docker: Minor improvements, fix failing test") added
the services.docker.storageDriver option, made it mandatory but didn't
give it a default value. This results in an ugly traceback when users
enable docker, if they don't pay enough attention to also set the
storageDriver option. (An attempt was made to add an assertion, but it
didn't work, possibly because of how "mkMerge" works.)
The arguments against a default value were that the optimal value
depends on the filesystem on the host. This is, AFAICT, only in part
true. (It seems some backends are filesystem agnostic.) Also, docker
itself uses a default storage driver, "devicemapper", when no
--storage-driver=x options are given. Hence, we use the same value as
default.
Add a FIXME comment that 'devicemapper' breaks NixOS VM tests (for yet
unknown reasons), so we still run those with the 'overlay' driver.
Closes#10100 and #10217.
