Consul Experiments

Repo to hold some experiments with consul/useful consul setups for local testing.

Dependencies

At the root of this repo:

Dockerfile used to build the consul-envoy image used for the gateways and sidecars.
convoy-build this is used to build the docker image for consul-envoy, this assumes you have an installation of consul at $HOME/go/bin/consul and an installation of envoy at /usr/local/bin/envoy that will be copied into the container at build time (this allows you to use recently built versions of consul for testing).
entrypoint.sh used as the entrypoint for the consul-envoy container

Each directory contains inside either the vm or k8s directories contains:

docker-compose file that handles starting the consul containers/services, this assumes you've:
- built the consul-envoy image by running the convoy-build script.
- have a local consul image named consul-dev:latest, which you can get from running make docker-dev in the consul repo.
- a CONSUL_LICENSE env variable with a valid consul license in it (if you're not running enterprise consul you can just remove those lines)
start.sh bash script to run that handles running docker compose and writing the relevant config entries to consul
A configs directory with the relevant consul configs for the consul servers/agents/clients/gateways/sidecars.
README.md that briefly describes the setup as well as defines the task commands to run using xc.
